NetherLight update Lambda networking in The Netherlands, Europe Erik-Jan Bos, SURFnet APAN 24th Meeting, Xi’an, China – August 27, 2007 Overview - SURFnet intro - Hybrid networking, SURFnet6 - GLIF, GOLEs, NetherLight 2 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research SURFnet - Dutch National Research & Education Network (NREN) - Not for profit organization, 60 employees - 100% ownership by users via SURFfoundation - 180 connected institutions, 750.000 end-users - Business-model: - Innovation by project subsidies (14 M€/year) - Operations by tariffs from institutions (18 M€/year) 3 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research NREN Challenge - How to accommodate needs of scientific users for higher speed, higher quality networking, e.g.: - Astronomy: eVLBI and LOFAR - Particle Physics: Large Hadron Collider - Medical research - Media streaming, such as HDTV and 4K - While protecting the performance of the network for current users - And keeping the successful end-to-end model of the internet 4 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research Photo section 5 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research eEVN: European VLBI Network Data processing centre: 16 Gbps (2005) 1 Tbps (2010) Russia China USA 1-30 Gbps asymmetric star topology South Africa 6 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research This slide courtesy of Richard Schilizzi [email protected], from 2003… LHC high-level network architecture 7 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research We realized that… - Counting on bigger routers and fatter pipes was no longer a realistic option. - And introducing QoS was not a viable alternative of course. - Next Generation Research Networks would not be a simple extrapolation of the current Internet evolution anymore. 8 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research Hybrid networking - Hybrid Networking concept has evolved since 2001 in a global context, with yearly LambdaGrid Workshops. IP + lambdas - Packet switched internet for regular many-to-many usage - Light Paths for new high speed few-to-few usage 9 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research Lightpaths and OPNs - Lightpath: high quality and high capacity optical network connection - Lightpaths provide applications with dedicated bandwidth with fixed characteristics at relatively low costs and with added security - Optical Private Network: system of permanent lightpaths to interconnect multiple locations 10 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research SURFnet6 overview - Nation-wide hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure - Based on 6000+ km of SURFnet-owned managed dark fiber, all the way to the institutions premises - SURFnet6 delivers 1/10 Gbit/s IP services (native IPv4 and IPv6) plus lightpath provisioning: - Over a single transmission infrastructure - Managed via a single control plane - In an economically sound way 11 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research SURFnet6 infrastructure Groningen1 Hamburg Leeuwarden Harlingen Middenmeer1 IBG1 & IBG2 Assen1 Den Helder Dwingeloo1 Emmen1 Beilen1 Hoogeveen 1 Meppel 1 Subnetwork 4: Purple Emmeloord Lelystad2 BT NLR DLO Alkmaar1 NLR Zwolle1 Lelystad1 Haarlem1 Amsterdam1 Amsterdam2 Muenster Beilen1 BT B T Subnetwork 3: Red Leiden1 Apeldoorn1 3XLSOP Breukelen1 Subnetwork 1: Green Hilversum1 Enschede1 Arnhem Schiphol-Rijk Zutphen1 DenHaag Wageningen1 Utrecht1 Nijmegen1 Rotterdam4 Delft1 Bergen-opZierikzee Zoom Ede Rotterdam1 Dordrecht1 Breda1 Middelburg Vlissingen Krabbendijke Aachen 12 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research Subnetwork 2: Dark blue Nieuwegein1 Venlo1 Den Bosch1 Eindhoven1 Subnetwork 5: Grey Heerlen 1 Maasbracht1 Heerlen1 Tilburg1 Maastricht1 Geleen1 Heerlen2 Lichtpaths are becoming user controlled Service Interface: web GUI or API (web services) public DRAC User internal Control plane Admin CPE Customer equipment CPE Resource 13 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research Customer equipment GLIF, Global Lambda Integrated Facility - In 2003 it was agreed to continue the international cooperation for lambda networking under the name GLIF. - GLIF is an international virtual organization managed as a cooperative activity with ‘participants’ rather than ‘members’ under a lightweight governance structure. - Open to anybody sharing the vision of optical interconnection of different facilities, who voluntarily contributes network resources (e.g. equipment, lambdas) or actively participates in relevant activities. - Secretariat functions provided by TERENA with voluntary contributions from participants. 14 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GLIF Vision Linking the World with Light - Optical networks are the central architectural element in support of this decade’s most demanding e-science applications. - A research world without geographical boundaries. - Hybrid research networks worldwide connected by lambdas and GLIF Open Lightpath Exchanges (GOLEs) 15 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GLIF Working Groups (1) - Governance and Growth (GOV) Working Group Chair: Kees Neggers (SURFnet) Goals: To identify future goals in terms of lambdas, connections and applications support, and to decide what cross-domain policies need to be put in place. - Research and Applications (RAP) Working Group Chair: Maxine Brown (UIC) & Larry Smarr (UCSD) Goals: To train a new generation of scientists on the use of super-networks. 16 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GLIF Working Groups (2) - Technical Issues (Tech) Working Group Co-Chairs: Erik-Jan Bos (SURFnet) & René Hatem (CANARIE) Goals: The goals of the working group are to design and implement an international LambdaGrid infrastructure, identify which equipment is being used, what connection requirements are required, and which functions and services should be provided. - Control Plane and Grid Integration Middleware Working Group Chair: Gigi Karmous-Edwards (MCNC) Goals: To agree on the interfaces and protocols that talk to each other on the control planes of the contributed Lambda resources. 17 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GLIF resources: lambdas 18 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GLIF resources: GOLEs - GLIF lambdas are interconnected through established lightpath exchange points known as GOLEs: GLIF Open Lightpath Exchanges - GOLEs are comprised of equipment capable of terminating lambdas and performing lightpath switching, allowing end-to-end connections - GOLEs have an open connection policy 19 SURFnet, Pioneering Network for Higher Education and Research GOLEs around the world - AMPATH – Miami, FL, USA - NorthernLight – Stockholm, SE - CERN – Geneva, CH -
