3. NSF-IRNC-KICKOFF-TLPW, 2005.03.11 What is Pacific Wave? Pacific Wave is a state-of-the-art international peering and lambda integrated facility designed to serve advanced research, education, development, and high- tech networks throughout the Pacific Rim and the world. Goal: enhance networking capabilities by increasing network efficiency, reducing latency, increasing throughput, reducing costs and provision point-to-point lambda services to meet the short and long-term needs associated with advanced application and network development and implementation.

5. NSF-IRNC-KICKOFF-TLPW, 2005.03.11 Pacific Wave Extensible peering exchange and lambda integrated facility Nodes (currently) in Seattle and Los Angeles Seattle, connected by a 10GbE wave provisioned over National LambdaRail (2,241 kilometers) AUP free Supports IPv4 and IPv6; multicast enabled Based on Layer 2, Ethernet connections (for layer 3 peering) Provides 24x7 NOC support. Priced consistently from node to node Allows participants to self-select their peering Allows participants to connect to one-location and access participants at all Pacific Wave nodes Supports advance applications Welcomes any research or development network that can meet the minimum network configuration requirements (connect with a router; support BGP; support jumbo-frames) Support GLIF connectivity as participant in Global International Optical Exchange development

14. NSF-IRNC-KICKOFF-TLPW, 2005.03.11 Detailed Plan for Year 1 Develop detailed subcontract statements of work with CENIC and PNWG for engineering and technical support for the project. Develop a memorandum of understanding with AARnet for use, support and operation of the links. Develop agreement with the University of Hawaii for acquisition, location and use of the equipment to be located in Hawaii. Procure and put into service equipment to enable the Australia-Hawaii-Seattle link. Estimated operation within 3 months of award. Procure and put into service equipment to enable the Australia-Hawaii-Los Osos (California) link. Estimated operation within 3 months of award. Procure and put into service equipment and waves from Los Osos to the PacificWave exchange point in Los Angeles. Estimated operation within 3 months of award. Work with AARnet and University of Hawaii to enable desired peerings in Seattle including peering with Abilene. Work with AARnet and the University of Hawaii to enable desired peerings in Los Angeles, including peering with Abilene. Reengineer these peerings as needed. Provide NOC service and interaction with other NOC entities (including AARnet NOC and Abilene NOC). Pursue cooperation with TRANSPAC for LA PacificWave PoP Explore collaboration with Gloriad and work to help them secure appropriate links and Pacific Wave landing and interconnection. Both AARnet and PacificWave have extensive measurement capabilities in place. We will work with the NSF-designated measurement project to provide these measurement as part of the overall TOPS measurement effort. Attend and contribute to TOPS meetings; attend Internet2 and APAN meetings (international).

15. NSF-IRNC-KICKOFF-TLPW, 2005.03.11 Near term Schedule and Challenges Los Osos landing –Challenges in getting space to implement Los Osos – SLO link –Testing to see if SX-Transport can go direct to SLO –Investigating alternate strategies Equipping and configuring Northern Link (migration from Procket to Juniper requires extensive engineering and design). Juniper routers leverage form other activities not funded from grant. Technical and Engineering Design for Southern Link – in a dynamic technical requirements environment. Meeting with AARnet to develop objective for Southern Link scheduled for 2005.03.20 Local connectivity in Hawaii. Need to get better definition of strategy, depends on availability of funds. Very limited resources available from this grant. Leveraging limited funds to acquire needed equipment and technical (engineering) support
