1. LHCONE L3VPN Status update Mian Usman LHCOPN-LHCONE meeting
Helsinki, 19th Sept 2016

2. World regions
Asia
Europe
North America
Latin America
: IPv6 enabled

3. Asia-Pacific Top Graph is TIFR
Middle Graph is ASGC: have seen drop in outbound traffic since early Feb
Bottom Graph is SINET. They have three peering with us most of the traffic is on our link to Paris as shown above. The inbound traffic before this week seems low as the link in Frankfurt was being used for inbound traffic.

4. Asia-Pacific SINET migrated to the new 2x10G to London
KEK (BELLE2 Tier0) connected to SINET
TIFR Peering with GÉANT LHCONE VRF
LHCONE VRF now setup in TEIN and peering with GÉANT LHCONE VRF
THAIREN and TEIN have established BGP peering
KISTI-TEIN connected to 1G (later upgrade to 10G) – LHCONE implementation expected in march
ASGC peering in AMS

5. LHCONE in Europe LHCONE IP Service in Europe is deployed in:
ARNES (Slovenia)
CERN/CERNLight (Switzerland)
CESnet (Czech Republic)
DFN (Germany)
GARR (Italy)
GÉANT
JISC (UK)
NORDUnet
RENATER (France)
RoEduNet (Romania)
SURFnet (Netherlands)
Belnet (Belgium)
URAN (Ukraine)
RENs in these countries connect:
Six Tier 1s in Europe to LHCONE
30 Tier 2s in Europe to LHCONE
Indian T2
Russian T2s (only to NORDUNet/CERN)

6. CERN
Tier1 is now directly connected to GÉANT and ESnet with 100G interfaces
1 x 100G GEANT
2 x 100G ESnet
The peering with GÉANT is now direct, not through CERNLight
CERNLight now peers with PSNC (Polish NREN)

7. ARNES - CESNET In the ARNES graph that short 30Gbps is an error.
Both graph show peaks of 10Gbps and indication of even flat-line at some points so upgrade of these is required.

8. ARNES - CESNET In the ARNES graph that short 30Gbps is an error.
Both graph show peaks of 10Gbps and indication of even flat-line at some points so upgrade of these is required.

9. DFN
Regular peaks of 20Gbps both inbound and outbound on both DFN links. They have two 100GE links one in Frankfurt and other in Amsterdam.

10. GARR
Graph clearly indicate significant traffic increase the peak traffic of 20Gbps at same time last year now regularly peaks at over 30Gbps.
The average traffic has doubled from around 10Gbps to 20Gbps.

11. VRF established on the JANET network
JISC
VRF established on the JANET network
Configuration completed during April/May ‘15
Imperial College is the first site to connect
Currently in production
Average traffic is very low however there are regular peaks of around 20Gbps.

12. NORDUNet
Moved the LHCONE connection to GÉANT from Copenhagen to London on 100G port
The LHCONE connection to ESNet and Internet2 is at MANLAN via ANA-200G
The peering is on the NORDUNet router in MANLAN
The graph shows total LHCONE traffic in NORDUnet which include links to CERN, GÉANT, Esnet and other connectors.

13. RedIRIS - RoEduNet RedIRIS: Peak traffic of around 8Gbps
RoEduNet: Upgraded their access to GÉANT to 2 x 10GE LHC Traffic peaks at 10Gbps.

14. RENATER
RENATER has two connections one in Geneva and the other in Paris. Both are being used in parallel and both have regular peaks of over 15Gbps.

15. RENATER IPv6
RENATER has two connections one in Geneva and the other in Paris. Both are being used in parallel and both have regular peaks of over 15Gbps.

16. SARA-Matrix

17. GÉANT overall Weekly Yearly
Same time last year the peak traffic was around 40Gbps and average traffic closer to 30Gbps now we see regular peaks of over 60Gbps.
Overall traffic seems to be growing as you can see from GARR traffic their traffic is also growing. Some of NRENs and sites need to be upgraded as they seem to be flat-lining.
We expect to see a lot more traffic after these NRENs and sites have upgraded.

18. ESnet Peering with GÉANT in the new ESnet PoPs in Europe
LON, AMS, GVA
3 x 100G
Peering with CERN in GVA
2 x 100G
Sites connected
ARLINGTON(18515)
BNL(43)
FNAL(3152)
SLAC(3671)
UIUC(38)
UNL(7896)
OPTIPUTER(26397)
AGLT2(229)
Purdue CMS T2(17)
LHCONE traffic in ESnet have almost doubled as well, almost 90% increase in traffic from same time last year
July – 2016
August – 2016
Feb – 2016

19. Traffic between Internet2 and GÉANT LHCONE VRFs

20. CANARIE 100G to PacificWave Seattle and to MANLAN

21. Latin America GÉANT LHCONE RNP VRF LHCONE VRF
Configuration of the peering from GÉANT VRF to RNP VRF completed
Peering point in London, both IPv4 and IPv6
No VRF in RedCLARA for the time being
Just delivering the L2 circuit from GÉANT to RNP
VRF creation will be investigated if more NRENs in L.A. request to connect
Circuit and BGP peering established in May ’15
CBPF and GRIPER/SAMPA Brazil now connected to RNP’s VRF

22. The LHCONE network is expanding
Summary
The LHCONE network is expanding
URAN and BELNET now connected to LHCONE via GÉANT
South America is now a stable partner, Chile is interested to join
Small amount of traffic now being exchange with TEIN
Traffic within LHCONE is steadily growing
GÉANT has seen peaks of over 100Gbps
Growth of over 65% from Q to Q2 2016
Some NRENs and sites need to upgrade their connection
GÉANT is already working with the NRENs for the upgrades
In some cases it’s just a re-configuration of the existing access ports
We expect to see further increases after the upgrades
