  1. Deploying and Testing Networking Innovations in CaliforniaBrian Courtbac@cenic.org UC San Diego, CalIT2 February 26, 2013

  2. CalREN Architecture Dark fiber backbone throughout California Cisco DWDM optronics support up to 32 waves on each segment 100GE path Los Angeles – Bay Area – Seattle in partnership with Pacific Northwest GigaPOP and Internet2

  3. Multiple L2/L3 Networks CalREN/DC – “Production” network. California-wide intranet with transport to commodity Internet. Designed for high availability with sufficient capacity for current/projected needs CalREN/HPR – High-Performance Research network. Layer-3 with connectivity to NRNs (Internet2, NLR, ESnet, DREN, etc.) and international networks. Designed for high performance with ample headroom for on-demand experiments/demos. State-wide Science DMZ. CalREN/HPR-L2 – Layer-2 network with connectivity to Internet2 ION/AL2S, NLR FrameNet, Pacific Wave, WRN

  4. Campus Access • Access via dark fiber, supplemented where needed for redundancy with telco circuits • 10GE common though not ubiquitous • 100GE being delivered to several R1s in the nextseveral months • Exception to normal last-mile pricing model toencourageearly adoption • Will provide 100GE L2 access to Internet2, ESnet

  5. COTN California OpenFlow Testbed Network Funded via GENI Solicitation 3, which sought to encourage OpenFlow deployment into the RONs 10GE ring with switches in LA, Sunnyvale, Sacramento, with GENI stack. GENI rack to be installed in by summer. Campus access via HPR-L2 or direct connection Brocade MLX-E switches chosen for HPR compatibility

  6. Challenges • Excellent pricing and support from Brocade • …for code that doesn’t quite work yet • Brocade actively solicited guidance on desired functionality (but at the time we didn’t know what that was) • First non-beta, non-NDA code received just prior to GEC 14 (July 2012), lacked significant functionality needed for planned demo with UCSC researchers • Current code lacks ability to have simultaneous L2/L3 flows; fix expected soon • Breaks ARP

  7. We Built It And They Haven’t Come (Yet) • Both HPR-L2 and COTN have had slow uptake rates • The networking effect (nobody’s connected because there’s nobody to connect to because nobody’s connected) • Early levels of OpenFlow functionality • Access cost (dedicated wave to HPR-L2historicallyan institutional cost) • 100GE pricing program should address much of this • Please talk to us if you have applications that could make use of this infrastructure
