Rebuilding the AARNet3 backbone
Building an optical network
TEIN2 Project
SXTransPORT in association with
TransLight/PacificWave
Rebuilding the AARNet3 Backbone
• Replace Procket
8812 routers with
Juniper M320
routers
• Still need to
deploy Juniper
M20 routers in
smaller POPs
• Still some
redundancy to
complete

Building an optical network
• Using dark fibre on the Nextgen
Networks footprint, Adelaide to
Brisbane via Melbourne, Canberra
and Sydney
• Need some construction to reach
customers
• To be lit with Cisco ONS15454 and
provide Gigabit Ethernet to
customers and STM-64c to AARNet3
backbone

AARNet and TEIN2
• Non beneficiary partner of TEIN2
project (an EU initiative)
• Improve linkage within Asia and to
Europe
• Facilitated better pricing for
westward circuits, but need better
cable between Perth and Singapore
• AARNet will provide transit to Seattle
as well as access to AARNet
(includes USP in Fiji and University
of Hawai`i)

SXTransPORT
• Joint initiative of AARNet and Southern
Cross Cable Networks (with some funding
support from the Australian Government)
• Dual Trans Pacific STM-64c
– Sydney (UTS), Honolulu, Seattle
– Sydney (NXG), Mauna Lani, Los Angeles
• Northern path active as layer3 link
– Connects to Pacific Wave and the University of
Hawai`i, Manoa
– Has AUP similar to Abilene
• Southern path to be optical
– Still a work in progress

Southern Path of SXTransPORT
• GLIF capable
• Need Lambda Exchange in LA
• One Gigabit Ethernet to backup our
STM-64c to Seattle
• Others available to Australian
researchers and facilities, for GLIF or
“trade”
• Catalyst for improving connectivity to
international Telescope facility at
summit of Mauna Kea, Hawai`i

Round trip time v Capacity
• 10Gbps circuits interconnect via
Pacific Wave,
– 276 ms Sydney to Tokyo
• But lower latency available via
smaller circuits such as TEIN2,
– 170 ms via Singapore
– 215 ms via Honolulu
• How do we select “best” path?
• Might use MPLS TE but it’s manual
to work out which path is “best”

What’s next?
• IPv6 Unicast
– Encourage customers to connect
• IPv6 Multicast
– Although is anyone listening?
• Expand footprint even further!
– Use Australia Japan Cable?
• Instrument the network
– QoS performance
– Routing performance
