10. IP Traffic growth, connected organizations 1600 Tbyte/maand ≈ 1 CD-ROM/seconde

11. SURFnet5 lessons learned Dark fiber is the essential building block for next gen networks Lambdas form an excellent basis for IP networking Researchers are interested in lambdas Provides excellent quality on point-to-point connections at very high speed Protects the routed network Enables demanding applications to make use of the infrastructure in an economically sound way

12. A word on networking costs Costs of optical port is 10% of switching port is 10% of router port with same characteristics –10G routerblade -> 100-300 k$, 10G switch port -> 10-20 k$, MEMS port -> 0.7 k$ Give each packet in the network the service it needs, but no more This slide courtesy of Cees de Laat (UvA)

13. Lesson: Transport in metal and glass Electrons in a metal wire (e.g. Cu): –Spin ½, Fermi-Dirac statistics (Fermions) –Collisions: resistance and hampered “flow” –Very suitable for light bulbs and toasters Fotons in a glass wire (fiber): –Spin 1, Bose-Einstein statistics (Bosons) –No collisions, zero resistance and unlimited flow –“Superconductors” for data

18. SURFnet6 overview  A hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure  Based on customer-owned managed dark fiber  Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructure –Managed via a single control plane –Network nodes reduced from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid

19. Timelines SURFnet6

20. SURFnet’s new Industry Partners (2004-2010)  Leader of the consortium  Optical equipment  Ethernet equipment  Network management equipment  Routing equipment  Installation services  Maintenance services

21. SURFnet6 on dark fiber  SURFnet6 will be entirely based on SURFnet owned managed dark fiber via the customer premises  Over 5300 km fiber pairs available today; average price paid for 15 year IRUs: < 6 € /meter per pair  Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6

32. GLIF: Global Lambda Integrated Facility  Established at the 3 rd LambdaGrid Workshop, August 2003 in Reykjavik, Iceland  Collaborative initiative among worldwide NRENs, institutions and their users  A world-scale Lambda-based Laboratory for application and middleware development GLIF vision : To build a new grid-computing paradigm, in which the central architectural element is optical networks, not computers, to support this decade’s most demanding E-science applications.

33. GLIF after Nottingham Helps to develop the Global LambdaGrid for the advancement of scientific collaboration and discovery GLIF “glues” together the networks and resources of its participants GLIF is not a new network and GLIF will not compete with its participants GLIF will be positioned on the demand site of the market and managed as a cooperative activity TERENA will act as the GLIF Secretariat

35. ConclusionConclusion  Users need new services that current networks cannot support  Telecommunication infrastructures will become part of the Grid and will be integrated in scientific instruments  Hybrid networks delivering IP and Lambda Services can meet user demand within budget constraints  SURFnet6 will enable advanced multimedia collaboration and applications, and the use of Grid technology in research
