StarLight Will Use CANARIE’s OBGP
• 10Gb paths throughout Canada reach West and East
Coast USA from Chicago.
• Goal is to connect to the world via switched 10Gb
wavelengths and routers at the STAR TAP OXC

Dark/Dim Fiber Model
• Purchase/lease like supercomputer equipment
procurement with 10-20 year life
• And/or, borrow/swap fiber to complete
connections
• Ideal for the Grid: control is from the edges
(campuses and/or local networks), not within
the backbone
• New goal: networks faster than the computers
and instruments attached to them!

Optical meet points at neutral locations
Initially 10Gb Ethernet to Illinois and Canada
Connection to US West Coast via Canada
Connection on West Coast—Seattle to San
Diego via wavelength(s)
Then, 10Gb Ethernet over DWDM
Connection to Amsterdam via wavelengths
Connection to Japan via wavelengths
Optical switches in Europe and Japan
