APAN19-TLPW&WHREN, What is Pacific Wave? Pacific Wave is a state-of-the-art international peering and lambda integrated facility designed to serve advanced research, education, development, and high- tech networks throughout the Pacific Rim and the world. Goal: enhance networking capabilities by increasing network efficiency, reducing latency, increasing throughput, reducing costs and provision point-to-point lambda services to meet the short and long-term needs associated with advanced application and network development and implementation.

APAN19-TLPW&WHREN, Global R&E Network Pathways PacificWave DISCLAIMER - This network map was a best estimate of expected connectivity for 2005, several changes in connectivity and planned connectivity have happened since it was created

APAN19-TLPW&WHREN, Pacific Wave Today Extensible peering exchange and lambda integrated facility Nodes (currently) in Seattle and Los Angeles Seattle, connected by a 10GbE wave provisioned over National LambdaRail (2,241 kilometers) AUP free Supports IPv4 and IPv6; multicast enabled Based on Layer 2, Ethernet connections (for layer 3 peering) Provides 24x7 NOC support. Priced consistently from node to node Allows participants to self-select their peering Allows participants to connect to one-location and access participants at all Pacific Wave nodes Supports advance applications Welcomes any research or development network that can meet the minimum network configuration requirements (connect with a router; support BGP; support jumbo-frames)

APAN19-TLPW&WHREN, Who Operates Pacific Wave? A joint project of CENIC and Pacific Northwest Gigapop In collaboration with University of Southern California and University of Washington

APAN19-TLPW&WHREN, Pacific Wave – What’s Next? Sunnyvale node to be implemented 2005 (Q2) Several new (1G-10G) connections expected in 2005 Need for more flexible interconnect (layer 2, layer 1, optical) and ability to manage these interconnect dynamics and complexity more efficiently Demand for dynamic optical exchange capabilities (GLIF)
