FrameNet Summary
•
•
Use of non-dedicated service is growing
• TransitRail
• UltraLight
• Texas A&M University
Interest by research groups
• Collaborative multi-point projects
• Non-dedicated service
• Understand utilization, then migrate to dedicated service.
•
New Services
• Investigation of on-demand dedicated services
• Process for implementing - both backbone and RONS

PacketNet
•
Connection Status
• 12 out of 14 Members connected
• 9 of the 12 have 10 GE
• 6 also have 1 GE secondary connections
3 with GE or multiple GE
Peering
• USGS, StarLight,CA*Net,Ultralight
• ESnet - at StarLight and MANLAN
• DREN, NREN - pending completion of agreement
Total routes - ~3500

NLR PacketNet Goals
•
Meet the needs of the Network Research community
and the Gigapop/RON community
• AUP-free
• Allow each group to determine what traffic to send
• Removes the need for some “stupid routing ticks”
•
Full routing tables
• Add some level of Commodity connectivity
•
Real traffic environment
• Allows for better testing of new network protocols

NLR Optical Switching Project
•
•
•
Calient Switch
Three possible objectives
• Shared control between backbone and RON.
• Fault Tolerance
• GMPLS experimentation
Engineering Committee
• Subcommittee to make recommendation on
priorities and switch placement by end of June.

NLR Measurement Infrastructure
•
•
•
•
Infrastructure to support both operation and research
measurement needs
Provides pre-GENI infrastructure
Data collection and dissemination points for NLR
services - PacketNet, FrameNet and possibly
WaveNet.
Process
• Final review by Engineering committee
• Submission to NNRC for review, comments and
recommendation
• Positive review by NNRC, recommendation to
board for funding.

Sparing
•
Focusing on transponder outages
• Goal is to reduce outage to <2 hours.
• Use existing resources as much as possible
• 80-channel transponder cards
• Availability of quickstart or spare wave
• Remote hands to make changes
Work with Layer1 NOC and Service desk to
develop process and procedures
Identify other components to spare

Cisco Research Wave Projects
•
UltraLight
• PI - Harvey Newman, Caltech
• Collaboration of experimental physicists and network engineers
whose purpose is to provide the network advances required to
enable petabyte-scale analysis of globally distributed data.
• Infrastructure - migrating to 10 GE PacketNet and 10 GE
FrameNet
•
TransLight
• PI - John Silvester, Univ. of Southern California
• Development of a distributed exchange facility on the west
coast to allow interconnection of international research and
education networks in the US.
• Infrastructure - WaveNet Circuit

Cisco Research Wave Projects
•
EnLightened
• PI Gigi Karmous-Edwards, MCNC
• Developing a dynamic, adaptive, coordinated and
optimized use of networks connecting geographically
distributed high-end computing resources and scientific
instrumentation.
• Infrastructure - WaveNet circuits

Research Projects
•
CHEETAH
• PI – Malathi Veeraraghavan, Uva
• A high-performance, experimental, optical network infrastructure
capable of: (a) on-demand provisioning of end-to-end high-speed
circuits, (b) stable transport to sustain control and streaming operations,
and (c) middleware and application software to support data transfers,
visualization, steering and control.
• Infrastructure - WaveNet circuit
•
VINI
• PI Larry Petersen/Jennifer Rexford
• VINI is a virtual network infrastructure that allows network researchers
to evaluate their protocols and services in a realistic environment that
provides a high degree of control over network conditions.
• Infrastructure - an overlay testbed using NLR co-location, FrameNet
and PacketNet services.

NLR SC06
•
Layer 1
• Infrastructure for Atlantic Wave
– Permanent, ordered in time for it to be implemented
by SC06.
•
Layer3 and Layer2
• 10 GE from JACK to TAMPA, 10 GE from PENS to
TAMPA for each service
• Assumes the PENS to TAMPA is for redundancy
• Both will be delivered to the show floor
– CRS-1 and 65xx provided by Cisco to terminate
service
• Assumes FLLR will provide backhaul to Tampa

NLR SC06
•
Peering
• Leverage existing connections
– PacificWave, StarLight, MANLAN
• Provide transit for other networks. Example - ESnet.
•
Investigate providing Quality of Service
• At both Layer2 and Layer3
• Already received some application requirements
• Integrated into NLR inquiry process
•
General idea
• Divide up links in terms of bandwidth and time of day
– Support demo requirements. Better use of the network
