GLIF Engineering (TEC) Working Group & SURFnet6 Blue Print Erik-Jan Bos Director of Network Services, SURFnet I2 Fall meeting, Austin, TX, USA September 27, 2004

Thanks, Heather Picture shown thanks to Fernando Muro Macias

The GLIF TEC TEC first met in Reykjavik, Iceland in August 2003 Second meeting in Nottingham, UK in September 2004 Interim TEC in February 2005 GLIF 2003

GLIF Engineering (TEC) Working Group Identify procedures and building blocks: –Optical Exchanges (with assorted services) –Links Create an international network map of participant resources Understand application requirements for SC 2004 and iGrid2005 What does it mean to connect to GLIF? What does it mean to bring equipment to GLIF?

GLIF Best Current Practices Develop a GLIF Best Current Practices document to assure the interoperability and interconnectivity of participating networks Definition of Optical Exchange: –Building blocks –Not implementations Framing in the GLIF: ITU-T Recommendation G.7041/Y.1303 Generic Framing Procedure

Optical Exchange example: NetherLight Operational since January 2002 Now centered around Nortel Networks HDXc, a full duplex 640G non-blocking cross-connect capability, running production since September 1, 2004 Nortel Networks OME6500 and Cisco Systems for GE grooming; GE switch for access to clusters
