1. GLIF Engineering (TEC) Working Group & SURFnet6 Blue Print Erik-Jan Bos Director of Network Services, SURFnet I2 Fall meeting, Austin, TX, USA September 27, 2004

2. Thanks, Heather Picture shown thanks to Fernando Muro Macias

3. The GLIF TEC TEC first met in Reykjavik, Iceland in August 2003 Second meeting in Nottingham, UK in September 2004 Interim TEC meeting @JTs in February 2005 GLIF 2003

4. GLIF Engineering (TEC) Working Group Identify procedures and building blocks: –Optical Exchanges (with assorted services) –Links Create an international network map of participant resources Understand application requirements for SC 2004 and iGrid2005 What does it mean to connect to GLIF? What does it mean to bring equipment to GLIF?

5. GLIF Best Current Practices Develop a GLIF Best Current Practices document to assure the interoperability and interconnectivity of participating networks Definition of Optical Exchange: –Building blocks –Not implementations Framing in the GLIF: ITU-T Recommendation G.7041/Y.1303 Generic Framing Procedure

6. Optical Exchange example: NetherLight Operational since January 2002 Now centered around Nortel Networks HDXc, a full duplex 640G non-blocking cross-connect capability, running production since September 1, 2004 Nortel Networks OME6500 and Cisco Systems 15454 for GE grooming; GE switch for access to clusters

8. Current status GigaPort NG Network Project started January 1, 2004 (- December 2008) Builds on GigaPort project ending in 2003, which resulted in SURFnet5 Research on Networks Networks for Research: –Contract Industry Partner signed March 23, 2004 –Blue Print SURFnet6 fixed on September 23, 2004

9. SURFnet’s new Industry Partners (2004-2010) Optical equipment Ethernet equipment Network management equipment Routing equipment Installation services Maintenance services

10. SURFnet6 on dark fiber SURFnet6 will be entirely based on own dark fiber Over 5300 km fiber pairs available today; average price paid for 15 year IRUs: < 6 EUR/meter per pair Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6
