1. Rationale for GLIF November 2004

3. CA*net 4 Update >Network is now 3 x 10Gbps wavelengths – Cost of wavelengths dropping dramatically – 3 rd wavelength operational in June >Support for e2e lightpaths for high end applications – most top research institutions interested – E.g. 10GbE CWDM to TRIUMF on UBC campus >Future growth likely for international transit lightpaths >Korea, Taiwan, Ireland and others have purchased UCLP lightpaths across CA*net4 >In negotiation with other networks >UCLP being deployed on Internet2, TANet2, KREOnet, i2CAT

4. CA*net 4 is NOT an optical switched network >CANARIE has no interest in optical experiments – E.g. HOPI, GMPLS, etc >There are few applications that need 10 Gbps >There are few applications that require 2 Ghz + 2 Gbytes memory on the PC >Cost of bandwidth is dramatically dropping – Cost of wavelengths now affordable by individual researchers – CAVE*net good example >CA*net 4 is made up of many parallel application empowered or customer empowered specific networks eg: – Computer back planes (Westgrid) – High energy physics network >The CA*net 4 tries to answer the question how can these autonomous network islands interconnect to each other without a central organization like telco, CANARIE or Internet 2

5. UCLP: Objectives >Network management – integrate wavelengths and fiber from different suppliers – integrate within network management domain – offer VPNs to users >Create discipline specific re-configurable IP networks – Multi-homed network which bypasses firewalls with direct connect to servers and routers >User controlled traffic engineering – Active replacement for Sockeye and Route Science – Alternative to MPLS

6. Today’s hierarchical IP network ORA N University Region al National IP Network Other national networks

7. Tomorrow’s peer to peer IP network ORA N University Region al Anybody can peer with anybody Server World National IP Network

8. Creation of application VPNs Commodity Internet Bio-informatics Network University CERN University High Energy Physics Network eVLBI Network Dept Research Network

9. UCLP intended for projects like National LambdaRail NLR 2 partner acquires a separate wavelength between Seattle and Chicago and wants to manage it as part of its network including add/drop, routing, partition etc NLR Condominium lambda network

10. UCLP: Applications 1 >International Transit – Korea, Ireland, Taiwan layer 1 transit – Other countries under negotiation >ORANs – Layer 1 restoral and protections paths – BCnet, ORANO and RISQ to date >Distributed back planes between HPC Grid centers – Westgrid (1 GbE moving to 10 GbE) – AceNet to come >Distributed Single Mount file systems – Yotta, Yotta - SGI – Needs consistent performance and throughput – Frequent topology changes to meet needs of specific applications

11. >ATLAS Canada – 980 Gbytes FCAL data once a month from CERN to Carleton U, UoAlberta, UoArizona, etc – Will significantly increase to Terabytes when production runs start – Would take over 80 days on IP R&E network >CERN Low level trigger data to UoAlberta – Initially streaming data rates 1 Gbps moving to 10Gbps later in the year >Canadian virtual observatory –.5 Tbyte per day to UoToronto and UoHawaii – 250 Mbps continuous streaming from CCD devices >Canada Light Source Synchrotron – remote streaming of data acquisition to UoAlberta – 2 to 5 Gbps continuously UCLP: Applications 2
