Bridging the gaps
• Terascale scientific applications
• astronomy, physics, genomic, meteorology ….
• Applications need geographically separated resources
• compute, data/storage and instrumentation intensive
• With inadequate bandwidth, scientists either need their own
massive resources, or must travel to other resource sites
• Grid must couple and integrate geographically separated
computing, storage and instrumentation resources
• Optical bandwidth is an enabling technology for the Grid
Optics overcome the ‘tyranny of distance’

Key Grid communication requirements
6
High capacity
‘back-plane’
 Terabit capacity, easily added incremental
capacity, low latency
Operational
simplicity
 ‘Self-running’ infrastructure:
auto-discovery of network resources, auto power
balancing, integrated diagnostics
User control
 End-user ability to reconfigure network
capacity and connectivity
 Scheduled and partitioned network capacity
for user separation and security
Data centric
 Transport native Ethernet traffic and any other data
protocols in a transparent manner

Proprietary and Confidential
End-user network control
Electronics (transponders) now
mainly at user sites
Easy to add new capacity,
rapid wavelength turn-up,
network reconfiguration
Inherent ‘hard’/secure partition of
network to different sites and
users
A band of wavelengths per
site, a wavelength per user
User owned and operated circuits
Greater user choice:
Carrier or 3rd party owned and
operated common
infrastructure
Empowering users, promoting innovation

Data centric
P Rate transparency

 1G, 2.5G, 10G, 40G, 100G, etc.
P Protocol/Service transparency

 Ethernet, FICON, ESCON, SONET/SDH, etc.
 1GE, 10GE LAN PHY native support
P Control-plane transparency

 clear channels for user control plane signaling

Private optical network
Build/own
Carrier maintains
network and services
Own core network,
leasing BW where cost
prohibitive to build
Network built on dark
fiber
 Lower initial cost
 Limited staffing requirement
 O-VPNs allow visibility into
status & performance of
services
 Ability to outsource different
levels of management/
maintenance
 Ability to expand network
sooner with lease option
 Economic flexibility –
incremental wavelengths are
inexpensive
 Fast network reconfiguration
 Keep pace with
technological advances

Rise of private data
networks in 1980s
Private optical networks
Enablers:
 Availability of leased T1 private
lines
 T1 data multiplexing gear, and
network management software
Enablers
 Availability of dark fiber
 Substantial price reduction of
