Hybrid Network Services and Goals
• End-to-End circuits and routed IP connections are available today
over AmLight East and West links
• Hybrid networking capability will be implemented at AmLight Central
and Andes
• Deploy multiple layer2 and layer3 paths, providing diversity,
predictabiity and production quality hybrid networking services
– AmLight Central and Andes to PacificWave and AtlanticWave
• Dynamic circuit provisioning: Participating in community
activities: ION-WG, GLIF, OGF, Future Internet
• RNP has been evaluating dynamic circuit provisioning technologies:
DRAGON, AutoBAHN, UCLP, DICE IDC
• A dynamic circuit provisioning solution shall be deployed based on
evaluation results and recommendations
• Deploy to end user communities as a solution, improvement, or
early adoption
