TransLight/StarLight IRNC Award SCI-0441094 • In cooperation with US and European national research and education networks, TransLight/StarLight will implement a strategy to best serve established production science • TransLight/StarLight will support usage by those scientists, engineers and educators who have persistent large-flow, real-time, and/or other advanced application requirements
Scope of Work • Procure and maintain (minimally) one OC-192 circuit that connects HDXc’s in MAN LAN in New York City (NYC) and NetherLight in Amsterdam. • Evaluate feasibility of a second OC-192 for L1/L2 production services for high-flow data and collaboration-intensive applications. • Ensure that appropriate traffic monitoring, measurement and analysis are accomplished through NSF-designated partners. • Promote and support availability to the advanced science, engineering and education communities who require ongoing transatlantic production services.
Opportunities for Broader Access • NSF encourages Fednet use of these circuits • To partner with transatlantic Fednet applications development • To assist in providing transatlantic Fednet resiliency • New circuits are evolving quickly • IRNC siblings in 2006, Ref: other presentations • IRNC 20 Gbps is a subset of many more, at least 100 transatlantic Gbps
Details of IRNC Transatlantic Interconnectivity Anticipated July 1, 2005 • 1st OC-192: Abilene<==>GEANT L3 connectivity • OC-192 between HDXc in MAN LAN and HDXc in NetherLight • HDXc ports to be generously provided by UCAID and SURFnet • NOC services to be provided by UCAID and DANTE • 2nd OC-192: L1/L2 connectivity to US Cyberinfrastructure • Continue existing lightpath connections via NetherLight to CERN, UKLight, NorthernLight, CzechLight • Connect to others in Europe as GEANT2 provides more lambdas in 2006 • Partner with TransLight/Pacific Wave, NLR and CA*net4 to build lightpaths to Asia • NOC services to be provided by Argonne/CENIC/PNWGP
Coordination with IRNC Siblings • Measure together • Share security incidents and issues • Assist other related projects • Trade tools and best practices • Promote MAN LAN as an Open Exchange • Serve together on the IRNC Program Management Group • Work together at iGrid2005 Workshop and 5th GLIF Meeting Sept. 26-30, 2005 in San Diego
