*Lights
• *Lights are bandwidth concentrators and
exchanges (StarLight, NetherLight, UKLight,
NorthernLight, Pacific Wave, NEOLight…)
• *Lights also deliver Grid cyberinfrastructure
services such as computing, storage and
visualization support
• *Lights disrupt old pricing structures from the
traditional telcos, which kept the prices high
• *Lights will deal with big data streams and map
them economically to the least expensive
services they need
StarLight, the Facility
• A *flexible* facility for scientists *by* scientists
• The world’s largest GE and 10 GE exchange for R&E
Production Networks
• A MEMS-switched Optical Research Network Exchange
• A specialized colocation space for new implementations
and integrations of infrastructure:
– 40 racks for networking and computing, data management and
visualization support equipment
• Home to fiber and circuits from SBC, Qwest, AT&T,
Global Crossing, Level3, T-Systems, Looking Glass,
RCN, and I-WIRE, custom integrators, like MCI for DREN
• Advanced engineering and “resource coordinators”

What has Changed Since 2001?
• Waves became available at drastically reduced prices
– NYC to AMS OC-192 $0.50/minute current pricing
• 1GE and 10GE switching/routing became possible and
desirable
• StarLight constructed as to serve international, national
and regional electronic and optical peering needs
• StarLight/Euro-Link partners formed GLIF
• C-scientists and E-scientists are creating new tools
together so that future applications will be empowered
to use self-collected information and make gridcompatible requests for resources
Thank You!
• StarLight and Euro-Link planning, research,
collaborations, and outreach efforts are made possible, in
major part, by funding from:
– National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-9980480, ANI-9730202,
EIA-9802090, EIA-9871058, ANI-0225642, and EIA-0115809
– State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing
– Northwestern University for providing space, engineering and
management
• NSF/CISE/ANIR and DoE/Argonne National Laboratory for StarLight
and I-WIRE network engineering and design
• Bill St. Arnaud of CANARIE, Kees Neggers of SURFnet, Olivier Martin
of CERN and Harvey Newman of CalTech for networking leadership
• Larry Smarr of Cal-(IT)2 for I-WIRE and OptIPuter leadership.
