1. The Future of GÉANT: The Future Internet is Present in Europe Vasilis Maglaris Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, NTUA Chairman, NREN Policy Committee - GÉANT Consortium maglaris@netmode.ntua.gr GÉANT Symposium 2010 24 th November 2010, Vienna Austria

2. The GÉANT Service Area 2 GÉANT COST: 40 M€/year Not just the GÉANT backbone Federated services via 37 NRENs and 4000+ Campuses to 50 M+ users

3. GÉANT global connectivity GÉANT2 global connectivity – February 2009 AfricaConnect

4. The Key Challenge for NRENs - GÉANT: A Tsunami of Global High-End Requirements 4 10 Gig+ NREN – GÉANT Footprint, June 2009 High-End Users (HPC, CERN, ITER,…) require stable production services: Provisioning 10-40-100 Gbps networks (DWDM over dark fiber, leased λ) Meeting robustness, reliability, security requirements Enabling multi-domain e2e monitoring & on-demand hybrid resource allocation Managing converging e-infrastructures as a High Performance Computing & Networking (HPCN) Cloud  Future Internet (FI) Services & Applications

5. LHC Tier0 – Tier1 Optical Private Network 5

6. ITER Proposed Connectivity 6 Shorter alternative: ORIENT/TEIN3

7. Future Internet Experimental Research: An Opportunity for NRENs Requirements: – Sharing optical backbones & housing for FI experiments Emulating real-world conditions In isolation from production traffic (slicing, virtualization) – Interconnection of local testbeds (e.g. OpenFlow, wireless labs) NRENs as infrastructure providers & innovation brokers: – In Europe: FI Private-Pubic Partnership (PPP) & FIRE  provisioning of NREN – GÉANT facilities (e.g. FEDERICA) – In the US: GENI experimental platforms  provisioning of Internet2, NLR, ESnet, RON facilities (e.g. VINI) – In APAN: NICT (JP), CERNET (CN), KOREN (KR), AARNet (AU),… 7

8. Virtualization over GÉANT - NRENs 8

9. Potential role of GÉANT – NRENs in FI Experimental Research Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Support virtual resource allocation, scheduling, federated admission control - roaming AAI & mechanisms for protected operation of isolated communities leading to the concept of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Network on Demand Develop – deploy tools to create, monitor and control virtual resources allocated to FI user communities, towards the Network on Demand vision resource discovery & provisioning Research on common, context aware descriptions of heterogeneous virtual networking elements, enabling resource discovery & provisioning of composite services NOC functionality external platforms Provide NOC functionality for virtual communities based on scalable management of virtual resources by stake-holders in the federation, also leveraging collaborations with external platforms (Internet, GENI, FIRE…) Contribute to FI Core facilities Bandwidth on Demand Contribute to FI Core facilities (FIRE, FI PPP) with 1-10 Gbps connectivity at all layers (including Bandwidth on Demand) & virtual infrastructures (including systems) 9

10. The FEDERICA Concept 10
