Connect. Communicate. Collaborate GÉANT2 and towards GÉANT3 Otto Kreiter, DANTE 7th RoEduNet Conference Cluj-Napoca, 28-30 August 2008 Outline • • • • • Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Who is DANTE (and what do they do)? What is GÉANT2? Services (for the “masses” and the “big boys”) Towards GÉANT3 Summary 2 DANTE Today • • • • • • • • Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe A UK-based not-for-profit limited liability company Created and owned by a number of European NRENs DANTE plan, build and manage pan-European R&E networks on behalf of the NRENS in Europe Started in 1993 Based in Cambridge, UK Currently 43 staff (14 nationalities) Turnover ~ €50M per annum 3 What is GÉANT2? Connect. Communicate. Collaborate A European R&E Networking Model: • 7th generation of pan-European research network infrastructure – continuation of a success story • Project partners include 30 of Europe’s national research and education networks (NRENs), DANTE (coordinator) and TERENA • Connects 34 European countries and serves over 3500 research and education establishments across Europe • Over 30 million users • Provides extensive international connectivity to other world regions • Funded jointly by NRENs and the European Commission • Project timescale September 2004 - August 2008 4 GÉANT2 Project Partners GÉANT2 Connect.

Collaborate GÉANT IP – – – – – IP Peering IPv6 Multicast (v4/v6) Premium IP Layer 2 VPN GÉANT Lambda Service – STM-64 and 10GE lambdas – Same price regardless of source or destination (on the dark fibre foot-print) 11 GÉANT2 Services - II Connect. Communicate. Collaborate • GÉANT PLUS – p2p Circuit Service – – – – cost-effective support for high-capacity [“lightpath”] services up to 10G (for now) emphasis placed on support for Ethernet framing translational P2P service support • e.g. native gigE to GFP VC-4-7v over SDH – develop rapid provisioning → BoD (JRA3/AutoBAHN) 12 GÉANT2 (not just a network!) Connect. Communicate. Collaborate But also an INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE - I3 NETWORKING ACTIVITIES (NAs) SERVICE ACTIVITIES (SAs) (Human networks) (focus on services, not infrastructure) Management Network Service Provisioning Dissemination and outreach Network Operation and Support User support (NRENs) JOINT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES (JRAs) Focus on academic, technological research 13 Access to GÉANT2 Connect. Communicate. Collaborate • The GÉANT2 backbone is not the whole story… • Remember that the GÉANT2 extended community is comprised of the GÉANT2 backbone PLUS 30 NRENs • Often an NREN may be behind an autonomous regional R&E network (from the user’s point of view) Key point is that services are provided in a federated multi-domain, multi-technology environment! 14 Big Users Connect.

Collaborate • 10 Gb/s IP trunk links are starting to fill, need 40 Gbps option • A-L already has phase shaped binary transmission (PSBT) modulation for 400-600 km lengths. Good dispersion tolerance with narrow spectral width allowing use of existing 50 GHz grid • But GÉANT2 has long PoP-PoP links (~800km, up to ~2000km) • Differential phase shift keying (DPSK) suitable for spans up to 1000km but requires 100 GHz channel spacing • Trial of 40 Gb/s with DPSK modulation planned (likely for Geneva – Frankfurt) just as soon as we can get our hands on it! • 100G experiments (JRA4, optical researchers, “DIY”) 22 .. towards GÉANT3 Connect. Communicate. Collaborate • GÉANT2 finishes 30th June 2009 – extended from 31st August 2008 • GÉANT3 will start June/July 2009 and lasts four years • GÉANT3 proposal submission 11th September 2008 – evaluation – refining – negotiation with the EC 23 GÉANT3 Vision & Mission Connect. Communicate. Collaborate GÉANT3 creates an innovative multi-domain hybrid networking infrastructure enabling R&E end-users through their organizations with flexible and scalable production quality services via constituent NRENs. 24 GÉANT3 guiding principles Connect. Communicate. Collaborate • Coordinated end-user services – Eduroam, eduGAIN • Hybrid optical backbone planning & operations • Multi-domain management – Common network information exporting schemas and Information flow – Control and management planes across domains 25 GÉANT3 guiding principles Connect. Communicate. Collaborate • R&E catalyst – creating a Pan-European human network for innovation and early service adoption • Advancing towards the network of the future – Combining networking for research with research for networking • e-Society catalyst – help bridging digital divides – boost dark fibre provisions throughout Europe – contribute to the creation of liberalized connectivity markets within its realm – encourage vast adoption of advanced e-Services to Schools and Universities 26 GÉANT3 (not just a network!)
