Kevin Quire Utah Education Network

 Project kick off in June 09  High speed, low latency connectivity for Utah Emulab to Internet2 for ProtoGENI  Ability to pass multiple VLANs directly from lab to Internet2  Scalable bandwidth solution  I2 providing 10 Gig for the project  Prefer solution that bypasses campus network and firewall

 Emulab not directly connected to UEN or I2  Lab is across campus from UEN Pop  Campus is eight miles from Internet2 Pop  UEN has existing L2 link used for I2/NLR connectivity  Campus Firewall  When does the campus firewall not cause issues for research? (Rulesets & performance)  No cost effective way to connect Emulab directly to Internet2 (more on this later)

 We realized Emulab needed to bypass campus network and connect directly to UEN  Dark Fiber provisioned across campus  This solved layer 2 and firewall issues  New link connecting I2 and UEN  10GE dedicated for GENI/Emulab  UEN connects the two with Dot1q tunnel  2GB Rate Limit in place  July 2010 converting to MPLS L2VPN (AToM)
