12. 12 National LambdaRail light the future N L R NLR Layer 2 Goals Facilitate point to point or point to multipoint Ethernet transport at rates at or above 1Gbps. Provide detailed performance measurement and real time statistics which allow the user to fully understand the performance of the transport network. Provide flexible infrastructure and tools which allow users to make, or signal for, service level changes to their individual Layer 2 paths, dramatically reducing provisioning delays while making more efficient use of the network. Refine these services, over time, to meet the specific needs of the research community; even where those developments would differ from what a standard service provider would be willing to do.

13. 13 National LambdaRail light the future N L R NLR L2 Initial Services National Peering Fabric – Create a national distributed exchange point, with a single broadcast domain for all members. Initial user ports will be 1GE. Dedicated Point to Point Ethernet – VLAN between 2 members with dedicated bandwidth from sub 1G to multiple 1G. Best Effort Point to Multipoint – Multi-point VLAN with no dedicated bandwidth

16. 16 National LambdaRail light the future N L R NLR Layer 3 Goals Create a national infrastructure for network and application experiments, in a way that is not possible with current production commodity networks, network test-beds, or production R&E networks. Provide an advanced national “breakable” infrastructure to try out technologies and configurations. In addition, researchers will have the opportunity to create experiments and test them using live production traffic in a national backbone provider footprint. Provide a flexible layer 3 network supporting experiments for anything from requiring total control of the hardware to requiring access to active real-time production traffic. Support researchers with a level of communication and visibility to its users not seen before in other networks.

17. 17 National LambdaRail light the future N L R NLR Layer 3 Services BGP to each member ISIS core IGP IPv4 Multicast: PIM, MSDP, MBGP by default. IPv6: BGP peering by default Security: Each member will be able to black-hole traffic to one of their hosts using special BGP community Each member gets a 10GE connection and a VLAN backhauled over the L2 network to a second node.

18. 18 National LambdaRail light the future N L R Preliminary pricing Pricing is based on a per segment cost. The pricing model includes the number of segments as well as capacity replacement, maintenance, operations and equipment replacement costs. There are pricing models for members as well as non-members. One example: –1gb circuit from Chicago to Washington DC would use three L1 segments and three L2 segments. This would cost approximately $23,500 upfront and $20,940/year.
