Update about UCLPv1/v2;
its deployment in Asia…
> Hervé Guy’s BIO
– I am working with CANARIE INC, at Ottawa, in
CANADA since 1995.
– I have joined the Advanced Research Network
group, which are responsible of the deployment of
CA*net Network in Canada, in 1998.
– I was leading the “STATS” initiative on CA*net 4
between 1998 and 2002.
– I am now managing the development of the UCLP
(User Control LightPath) Software since 2003.
Update about UCLPv1/v2;
its deployment in Asia…

What is not UCLP?
Confusion about UCLP
> UCLP is often wrongly associated with other
dynamic optical switching protocols.
> UCLP has nothing to do with optical control
planes or providing bandwidth on demand.
> Primary purpose is NOT
–
–
–
–
a dynamic switched optical networks
a reservation and leasing of wavelength resources
an end-to-end optical VPNs
an inter-domain connection of LightPaths
What is UCLP?
UCLP Objectives
> UCLP is an IP network provisioning and configuration tool
– it allows the creation of application or discipline specific IP
networks that can be built from optical paths obtained from a
mix of heterogeneous network resources across different
management domains
– Similar in concept to X-bone VPN overlay network, except at
layer 1
> User controlled traffic engineering
– Active replacement for Sockeye and Route Science
– Alternative to MPLS
What is UCLPv1? It talks about
users empower the network!
1st & 2nd wavelengths – 10 Gbps
3rd wavelength – 10 Gbps
4rd and 5th wavelengths are coming soon…
CA*net 4;
a layer 1 network
What is UCLPv1?
What is a LightPath?
> According to “User controlled Lightpath Definition Document
(http://www.canarie.ca/canet4/library/c4design/user_controlled_def
inition.ppt)”, created by Bill St. Arnaud in December 2002:
– Any uni- or bi-directional point to point connection with effective
guaranteed bandwidth
> Examples of LightPaths on CA*net: STS channels on a SONET or
VC4 channels on SDH circuits
LightPath has
Bandwidth, start and
end points
ons-ott01; slot 12;
port 1; channel 72
STS24c (OC24)
ons-tor01; slot 5; port 1; channel 72
What is UCLPv1?
CA*net 4 is a pool of LightPaths
- Which have been created by UCLP admin (e.g. c4noc).
What is UCLPv1?
What are the Users?
You!
?
That simply wants
to best achieve
your job!
What is UCLPv1? Users take
control of LightPaths on CA*net4
- Ownership of LightPaths is the starting point…
- Ownership period has a start now and end dates
.
What is UCLPv1? Users creates
an e2e connections on CA*net4
- Users access the LightPaths and run their applications during the
requested period.
access LPs
concatenate LPs
access LPs
What is UCLPv1? It talks about
users empower the network!
> During the period where a user owns
the LightPaths, it could
– Partition LightPaths;
– Concatenate LightPaths;
– Advertise unused LightPaths (i.e. make them
available for another users).
– Create/delete the e2e connections (access
LightPaths).
What is UCLPv1? Users deletes
the e2e connections on CA*net4
At the end of the ownership period, the users loose the ownership of
the LightPaths. LightPaths come back the pool .

What is UCLPv2?
Purpose
> April 2005 CANARIE issued a call for proposals for
UCLPv2, with the objective
– to adapt the development of the UCLP software developed under
the Directed Research program in 2003-2004 and make it robust
and user friendly for wider scale deployment by providing a
graphical user interface (GUI) and providing web service
workflow capability.
> The project proposals were due at the end of May
2005.
> Total budget for this RFP is $1.4 million.
> Now, 4 proposals has been selected.
> All projects will have to be completed by March 30,
2006.
What is UCLPv2?
From LightPaths to APNs…
> Now let’s imagine that the users would like to manage a subset
of CA*net as part of their network including add/drop, routing, partition,
concatenate, etc.

Once the users takes the ownership of the subset
of CA*net, it would like to partition them and create the endto-end connections on request.

What is UCLPv2?
From LightPaths to APNs…
> UVLPv2 is an extension of UCLPv1’s concepts of
LightPaths and Users.
> In UCLPv2, the LightPaths and Network Interface (e.g.
the GigE ports) become some web services (WS)
resources.
> The APN resource list is a pointer to a set of the abovedefined WS,
> Finally, an APN (Articulated Private Network) is
essentially a workflow script created by the Network
Administrator (e.g. CANARIE) that points to a collection
of Network LightPaths and Interfaces (e.g. the APN
resource list), destined to the APN administrators (e.g.
NRC).
What is UCLPv2?
From LightPaths to APNs…
> The APN Administrators can download and run the APN
workflow script and create functioning APN (e.g. NRC’s
CA*net 4 APN).
> An APN could be merge to other APNs for forming a
new APN (e.g. NRC’s CA*net 4 APN + NRC’s private
APN + SURFnet’s APN).
> The APN could be re-advertise all or some of the APN
resource list to other users.
> Finally, the normal users (e.g. NRC’s users) can take
control of the APNs resources and establish their own
e2e connections.
What is UCLPv2?
UCLPv2 in a nutshell!
> UCLPv2
– Graphical interface to allow users to create
Articulated Private Networks (APNs)
– All lightpaths represented as web services
that are consumed by user by linking through
portal on workflow engine
> BPEL or Keppler to link APNs together to
form end to end LightPaths and to link
instruments.
