GÉANT and The Future of Pan-European Networking CCIRN, 3rd July 2004 John Boland CEO HEAnet Member of DANTE Board of Directors Outline of Presentation • HEAnet as European NREN • GN2 – Proposing the Next Generation of European Networking • Financial Background • Capacity • Wavelengths & Fibre options • Major Joint Research Topics • Application Example Trends since 1991 1000000 10000 Traffic Hosts 1000 Access b/w External b/w 100 10 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1 1991 Ratio to 1991 value 100000 INTERNET 2 RESEARCH COMMUNITIES Belfast GENERAL INTERNET JANET London GÉANT Citywest Dublin Galway INEX Limerick Cork Frankfurt INTERNET 2 RESEARCH COMMUNITIES GENERAL INTERNET Belfast London GÉANT Citywest Dublin Galway INEX Limerick Cork Frankfurt Basic Issues in GN2 Project • • • • Financial Arrangements Capacity Wavelengths & Fibre Questions Research Activities Disruptive emerging Technology GÉANT: One element of a strategy Experimental Advanced IPv6, Optical,... GRIDS GÉANT All research disciplines Very demanding communities Research on networking Financial Arrangements • EC support for Geant • Integrated Project – Network Infrastructure – Developmental Elements • Funded by the NRENS and the EC • Framework Programme 6 (FP6) • Extending the Range of Connections EC & NREN funded • 186 MEuro over 4 years (US $230M) – Starting end 2004 • 93 Meuro available from EC • 93 MEuro payable by NRENs – assuming 50% co-funding – Based on bandwidth subscribed for Relative Cost of Connectivity Compared with Number of Suppliers 45 40 35 30 Re lat 25 iv e co 20 st Trend Line 15 10 Number of suppliers 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Some Indications from Market in Europe • 40Gbps becoming available • Cost of Interfaces for 40Gbps v. high • Multiple 10Gbps may be more flexible solution • Would allow Hybrid Network – Mix of IP and non-IP – Terminate on Routers and Switches Managed Wavelengths and Dark Fibre • Whether to invest in dark fibre IRUs and transmission equipment/management and maintenance/repeater stations etc • In terms of costs – May not be advantage in Western Europe – Less competitive markets : more offers of dark fibre in Central and Eastern Europe Some exciting possibilities • Costs for 10Gbps are still reducing • Additional Wavelengths will drop in price • Multiple , dual-homed 10Gbps affordable in a number of locations • 10Gbps Lambda possible building block • Provide switched GEs to high-end users NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE & MAJOR JOINT RESEARCH TOPICS • • • • Security Performance Monitoring End-To-End Guarantees Mobility Service Activities • SA1 : Procurement • SA2 : Network Operations and Basic Services • SA3 End-to-End Quality of Service • SA4 Connecting Other World Regions Networking Activities • NA1 Management of GN2 • NA2 GN2 Dissemination Activities • NA3 Support for Users & User Consultancy • NA4 NREN Development & Support • NA5 Foresight Study • NA6 Co-ordination of RTD Activities Joint Research Activities • JRA1 Performance Measurement and Management • JRA2 Security • JRA3 Bandwidth Reservation & Allocation • (Bandwidth on Demand) • JRA5 Ubiquity (Mobility) and Roaming Access to Services • JRA4 Technology & Service Testing MAJOR JOINT RESEARCH TOPICS • • • • Security Performance Monitoring End-To-End Guarantees Mobility e-VLBI •Exploits GEANT on a pan-European Basis •Real time •Throughput 512 Mbps -1+Gbps •Better Quicker Science •Look Back Further in Time Support for European VLBI Radio Telescope Correlator Data Flows (RT or non-RT) EVN Traffic Flows over GÉANT SE NORDUnet JANET UK JIVE PL SURFnet CZ PSNC BE NL DFN DE2 DE1 FR 2.5G 10G CH AT IT GARR 256M 512M 1G ? 5-GHz Global VLBI image of an FRII radio galaxy –Picture provided courtesy of European VLBI Network After GÉANT: What’s needed? • Improved backbone infrastructure for European research and education - building on GÉANT core • Support integrated, multi-national research teams with challenging (networking) requirements - e.g. GRIDs • Integration of European services into a world-wide scope • Support constantly growing requirements and rapidly evolving technology: spearhead development of next generation communication technologies ahead of the market
