  2.

  3. NSF’s StarLight in Chicago:A Huge 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Exchange StarLight hosts electronic switching and routing of circuits for US and International Research and Education networks As of SC03, StarLight is now also optically switching wavelengths. Abbott Hall, Northwestern University’s Chicago downtown campus

  4. StarLight Supports Application-Empowered Networks with • Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching • 1 & 10Gb photonic switching • 40 rack spaces for application-specific networking, computing and storage equipment • Access to fiber and circuits from SBC, Qwest, AT&T, Global Crossing, T-Systems, Looking Glass, and RCN • Engineering and “middle people”

  5. The Application-Empowered Network Paradigm Shift “A global economy designed to waste transistors, power, and silicon area -and conserve bandwidth above all- is breaking apart and reorganizing itself to waste bandwidth and conserve power, silicon area, and transistors." George Gilder Telecosm (2000) Although I disagree with Gilder on a lot things, I think he is right when he claims applications that waste bandwidth will win. Bandwidth is becoming so cheap that soon I don't think we will need to optimize bandwidth use by switching it.  Instead applications or disciplines will buy nailed bandwidth to create their own autonomous networks. Bill St. Arnaud 2003

  6. Chicago Cheap Local Bandwidth over I-WIRE: a 20-year GigE at the cost of a month or two of OC-12 service, or your worst grad student for a year UIC Metro LambdaGrid (I-WIRE and OMNInet)

  7. Cheap State-wide Bandwidth over I-WIRE: ~Cost of Rehabbing a University Building or two Source: Charlie Catlett, ANL

  8. Cheap National Bandwidth over the National Lambda Rail: ~Cost of a brand new university building or two Source: John Silvester, Dave Reese, Tom West, CENIC

  9. 30 years ago, 300b USA to Netherlands cost US$4.00/minute Cheap Trans-Atlantic Bandwidth An OC-192 (10Gb) costs $2.00/minute* Ad from 1956 That’s 2,500,000 times cheaper! *if you buy 525,600 minutes and manage it yourself
