Backbone Expansion - Boston Node
•
Infrastructure via a wave swap between CANARIE and NLR
• NLR received: 4 waves from NEWY to BOST;
1 wave from BOST to STAR
•
•
•
•
Add OADM, FrameNet and PacketNet services to BOST
• Equipment deployed 12/2007
FrameNet
• 1 10 GE BOST to NEWY connected
• Remaining 10 GE, BOST to CHIC to be completed in
February
PacketNet
• Initial connectivity via FrameNet backhaul
• Dedicated 10 GE PacketNet backhaul between BOST and
NEWY to be added when needed.
WaveNet - 2 to 3 waves available

International Activities
•
•
Continue to add peers for Packetnet
Interest from several international partners in
acquiring dedicated circuits from NLR
• On FrameNet
• And WaveNet
• Allows low cost extension of their reach into US or
to reach other peering exchanges and GOLES.

Dynamic VLAN Provisioning
•
•
Allows you to dynamically set up a VLAN over NLR Layer2
service; in operation. (see demo at noon BoF today)
Expected Uses
• High bandwidth, infrequent use
• Projects with specific bandwidth requirements for specific
time periods
• Weather forecasting for 8 hours a day, 4 weeks
• Move large data sets, once a month
•
Key components
• WWW interface that allows you to specific end points,
bandwidth and timeframe
• Configures the switches, makes bandwidth available.
•
Requires contract and authorization

PacketNet
•
•
Stable, no significant changes
• Total routes ~8K
• Additional routes added regularly, including International
Peers
Telepresence
• Cisco Telepresence equipment installed in the KANS node
• Telepresence Multipoint Switch, Session Border Controller and
Network Management Server
•
•
Supports point to point and multipoint telepresence sessions
Plans to connect to Telepresence exchanges
• Support Telepresence calls between telepresence-ready
backbones.

Reporting Tool
•
New web-based tool used to generate member and project
reports
• Initially focuses just on Layer1 and Layer2 services
• Report includes:
• List of circuits used - both active and inactive - back to FY 2004.
• Logical map of the layer1 and layer2 infrastructure associated
with a member
•
Reports can be generated for
• Member
• Project
• Start Node and/or End Node
•
Reports can be used to debug complex hybrid networks
