  1. Building A Research Network… a work in progressW. R. Wing - ORNL SURA Optical Networking Technologies Workshop December 13, 14

  2. Why a Research Network? • “SONET today is the coin of the realm.” • But other framing is looming • SONET adds cost, can we trade “9’s” for price • Demo technology for SURANET • Research = Leading edge performance • Link Supercomputer Centers • Creates new resources • A research network becomes a “research attractor” for sponsors

  3. What are the Goals? • Connect ORNL, SOX (GAT), RTP • 80 Gbs for supercomputers • Lambdas for low-level research • Build a bridge between ESnet and Internet2 • Get Access to: Interent2, Supernet, TeraGrid • Fallback peering for generic Internet access

  4. Over View RTP 617Km Oak Ridge 652Km 336Km Atlanta *NOTE* Route distances are driving distance. Actual fiber distance may vary significantly.

  5. RTP 617Km LEM Oak Ridge SMF28 Georgetown 170Km LEM Chattanooga (UTC) 652Km Calhoon 180Km SMF28 Where Are We on Fiber?(Layer-0) Atlanta

  6. Where Are We on Costs?(Layer-8) • Fiber between ORNL and Chattanooga • Two pair, $25/fiber/mile/mo • Fiber between Chattanooga and Atlanta • One pair, $35/fiber/mile/mo • Hand-off in Chattanooga via EPB • Equipment vendors lining up at our door

  7. Where Are We on Politics?(Layer 10) • Bandwidth agreements • Add-drop Gig-E in Chattanooga at UTC • Bandwidth sharing agreement with GPW • Agreement in principal for peering at SOX • Opening discussion with Internet2 • Filling in the other layers…
