What’s NLR
• NLR is a major initiative of U.S. research universities and
private sector technology companies to provide a
national scale infrastructure for research and
experimentation in networking technologies and
applications.
• NLR aims to catalyze innovative research and
development into next generation network technologies,
protocols, services and applications.
• NLR puts the control, the power and the promise of
experimental network infrastructure in the hands of our
nation’s scientists and researchers.

What the heck does that mean?
• NLR has purchased our own fiber across US
& are lighting ourselves with Cisco optronics
• Infrastructure to support multiple networks
– to support different types of research &
experimentation – application level & networking
level.
• 32+ 10 Gbps lambdas, supporting (to start):
–
–
–
–
Nationwide NLR IP network
Nationwide NLR Switched GigE network
Internet2 Hybrid Packet Optical Infrastructure
Plus needs of members and R&E community
• Lambda = λ
– (greek letter) symbol for wavelength (color)
– On NLR each wavelength of light carries 10 Gbps

Have 10 Gig lambdas in use already
• 3 OC-192s from Pittsburgh to Chicago/Starlight
supporting PSCs connection to Extensible
Terascale Facility (ETF / Teragrid).
• 10GE from Seattle to Los Angeles – extending the
Pacific Wave Peering point to Los Angeles.
• Coming up very soon: 10GE from Atlanta-Chicago
for Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) /ETF
connection

How to get capacity from NLR?
• Work with the NLR member in your state or region
– National scale? – come to NLR directly
• Lambdas: 10 GigE LAN PHY (or OC192)
– Point-to-point dedicated 10 Gig bandwidth, unprotected
– “Production” (non-breakable) service
– Pricing model is based first on “incremental” cost, to provide low
cost lambdas for research & education.
• Switched GigE – 1 GigE dedicated capacity
• Experimental IP backbone
– NLR members each get 10 Gig port
– Experiments/Research via NLR research committees/allocation
groups.
• Do come to NLR with your needs and ideas – we are
building this infrastructure to support R&E
