Copyright 2004 National LambdaRail, Inc What’s NLR NLR is a major initiative of U.S. research universities and private sector technology companies to provide a national scale infrastructure for research and experimentation in networking technologies and applications. NLR aims to catalyze innovative research and development into next generation network technologies, protocols, services and applications. NLR puts the control, the power and the promise of experimental network infrastructure in the hands of our nation’s scientists and researchers.

Copyright 2004 National LambdaRail, Inc What the heck does that mean? NLR has purchased our own fiber across US & are lighting ourselves with Cisco optronics Infrastructure to support multiple networks –to support different types of research & experimentation – application level & networking level. 32+ 10 Gbps lambdas, supporting (to start): –Nationwide NLR IP network –Nationwide NLR Switched GigE network –Internet2 Hybrid Packet Optical Infrastructure –Plus needs of members and R&E community Lambda = λ –(greek letter) symbol for wavelength (color) –On NLR each wavelength of light carries 10 Gbps

NLR is Continuing to Grow Six New NLR Members Announced June 2, 2004 Cornell University –representing New York and New England; Louisiana Board of Regents; Oklahoma State Board of Regents; Texas Lonestar Education and Research Network (LEARN); University of New Mexico; University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) /Front Range GigaPOP (FRGP)) –representing Colorado, Wyoming, Utah. Members commit $5 million each over 5 years NLR is an $80-$100 million project

14
Copyright 2004 National LambdaRail, Inc Have 10 Gig lambdas in use already 3 OC-192s from Pittsburgh to Chicago/Starlight supporting PSCs connection to Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF / Teragrid). 10GE from Seattle to Los Angeles – extending the Pacific Wave Peering point to Los Angeles. Coming up very soon: 10GE from Atlanta-Chicago for Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) /ETF connection
15
Copyright 2004 National LambdaRail, Inc How to get capacity from NLR? Work with the NLR member in your state or region –National scale? – come to NLR directly Lambdas: 10 GigE LAN PHY (or OC192) –Point-to-point dedicated 10 Gig bandwidth, unprotected –“Production” (non-breakable) service –Pricing model is based first on “incremental” cost, to provide low cost lambdas for research & education. Switched GigE – 1 GigE dedicated capacity Experimental IP backbone –NLR members each get 10 Gig port –Experiments/Research via NLR research committees/allocation groups. Do come to NLR with your needs and ideas – we are building this infrastructure to support R&E
