NSF’s StarLight in Chicago:
A Huge 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Exchange
StarLight hosts electronic
switching and routing of circuits
for US and International
Research and Education
networks
As of SC03, StarLight is now
also optically switching
wavelengths.
Abbott Hall, Northwestern University’s
Chicago downtown campus
StarLight Supports Application-Empowered
Networks with
• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching
• 1 & 10Gb photonic switching
• 40 rack spaces for application-specific
networking, computing and storage equipment
• Access to fiber and circuits from SBC, Qwest,
AT&T, Global Crossing, T-Systems, Looking
Glass, and RCN
• Engineering and “middle people”
The Application-Empowered
Network Paradigm Shift
“A global economy designed to waste
transistors, power, and silicon area
-and conserve bandwidth above allis breaking apart and reorganizing itself
to waste bandwidth
and conserve power, silicon area, and transistors."
George Gilder Telecosm (2000)
Although I disagree with Gilder on a lot things, I think he is right when
he claims applications that waste bandwidth will win.
Bandwidth is becoming so cheap that soon I don't think we will need
to optimize bandwidth use by switching it. Instead applications or
disciplines will buy nailed bandwidth to create their own autonomous
networks.

Metro LambdaGrid (I-WIRE and OMNInet)
Cheap Local Bandwidth
over I-WIRE: a 20-year
GigE at the cost of a
month or two of OC-12
service, or your worst
grad student for a year
Cheap State-wide
Bandwidth over I-WIRE:
~Cost of Rehabbing a
University Building or two

Cheap National Bandwidth over the
National Lambda Rail: ~Cost of a
brand new university building or two

Cheap Trans-Atlantic Bandwidth
An OC-192 (10Gb) costs $2.00/minute*
30 years ago, 300b USA to Netherlands cost US$4.00/minute
Ad from 1956
That’s 2,500,000 times cheaper!
*if you buy 525,600 minutes and manage it yourself
