Background
 High Performance Facilities Based R&E Networks
Operational
NLR, Internet2, Regional Networks
Key concept is network control at multiple layers
 Opportunities to explore new areas of networking
and applications research.
 Ongoing challenge: “How do you connect
researchers to these resources in a reasonable and
flexible manner based on industry-researcher
partnerships?”
 One such resource that meets these requirements
is C-Wave

What is C-Wave?
 Access to 10G Waves (Layer-1 p2p)
Per project allocation
 Switched Network
10GE backbone links
Flexible Architecture with MPLS Backbone
 User Connectivity Qualification Based on
Project requirements (BW & time frame)
Research merit
Partnership opportunity
(Switched Network is preferred over dedicated waves)
 Simple Operational Model

What C-Wave isn’t…
 Not for permanent deployments
Prototype, experiment, research
 Not a highly connected network
No peering with NLR, Internet2, commodity, etc.
 Not designed for production applications
 Not Designed for critical, non-stop applications
Redundant trunks and power only
 No 24 x 7 x 365 support
 …but the cost/benefit ratio is appealing
