SINET updates Jun Matsukata National Institute of Informatics (NII) Research Organization of Information and Systems jm@nii.ac.jp January 24, 2005
Networking at NII • NII operates SINET and Super SINET which serves as the information network infrastructure for the national research and higher educational community in Japan. • So, SINET and Super SINET plays the role of an NREN in Japan. • Just being reorganized under a new concept focusing on broader targets covering applications as well…
SINET • SINET serves as the information communication infrastructure for the research community in Japan covering the higher educational community as well. • Universities and academic research institutions are connected.
Super SINET • A networking project associated with SINET which was aimed at promotion of advanced scientific researches • Implemented through a three+ year joint research project with the awarded telecommunication company (January 2002 to March 2005), and will continue to exist • Integrated with SINET as a single operation entity
Recent changes • Circuit renewal of SINET and Super SINET • International connectivity • Back of transpacific portion of APAN • Upgrade of the circuits to Thailand • Upgrade of connectivity to U.S.A.
Circuit renewal of SINET and Super SINET. • By April 2005 • Most circuits will be replaced. • No remarkable change in topology • Backup to major network nodes provided by Gigabit Ethernet clouds. • More cooperation with APAN
SINET and Super SINET (planned configuration as of April 2004) Planned configuration from April 2005
International connectivity • December 2004 • Started to provide backup for the transpacific portion of APAN • January 2005 • Upgrade of the 2 Mbps link to Bangkok, Thailand to 45 Mbps • Connecting SINET (NII) and ThaiSARN (NECTEC) as before. • April 2005 • OC48 x 4 to NYC will become OC192 • A new circuit (OC48) to LA

More cooperation with APAN • Cooperation with TransPAC2 project • Now we provide backup for the transpacific portion of APAN. • Upgrade of the circuit to Thailand which has been shared among APAN participants • Other kinds of cooperation (including non-networking)
Super SINET • Implemented through a joint research project with the awarded telecommunication company • Two modes of network services, shared backbone and point-to-point, have been provided for more than two years (since January 2002). • OXCs were introduced for expedited provisioning and faster restoration of services.
Network services provided by Super SINET • Shared backbone • Point-to-point • Physical (light path, lambda, dedicated circuits, etc.) • Virtual (LSP, etc.)
Shared backbone • 10 Gbps IP backbone • Most Super SINET sites are connected with a 10 Gbps circuit. • The backbone network is shared among the research and educational community. • The network is IP based. • Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. • IPv6 is tunneling based for the moment though.
Point-to-point • Point-to-point services are provided to research (or users) groups. Each users group can make exclusive use of the connectivity provided. • Variations of point-to-point services • Physical • Virtual or logical • N.B. The term “point-to-point” might be not good, since it is often the case that services are extended to “multi-point”. Term “site oriented” might be more appropriate
Point-to-point (cont’d) • Point-to-point (physical) • Gigabit Ethernet bridge • Layer 3 protocol independent • Based on physical resources reserved • OC48 circuit • This is actually provision of lambda. N.B. A lambda is an optical fiber if not multiplexed, or a wave length of a wave length multiplexed optical fiber.

Point-to-point (cont’d) • Point-to-point (virtual) • MPLS VPN (Layer 3) • Based on virtual resources • Virtual or logical networks sharing the resource of the IP backbone. • “Multi-point” services are also available.
