Pacific Wave International Peering
Participants at the Pacific Wave peering
exchange can…
– Peer directly with major R&E networks worldwide;
– Reduce costs associated with IP traffic that would
otherwise transit commercial carrier circuits;
– Increase efficiency by directing traffic as quickly as
possible to the target network/organization;
– Transfer IP traffic inclusive of multicast, IPv4, IPv6;
– Access the NOC 24 x 7 x 365.
Pacific Wave is also a recommended exchange point for
peering with the Abilene/Internet2 network.

Flexibility is the Design Key
• Self-selected peerings—you peer with who
you want.
• Self-configured peerings—you control the
BGP routes for your peering.
• Any IP traffic accepted.
• Significantly cheaper than Commodity
Internet.
• No AUP.
• Support available 24 x 7 x 365.
• Select either dual FE or dual GbE.
Optional: Commodity Internet Transit
• Available to all Pacific Wave Participants
• Your ISP is the Pacific Northwest Gigapop
• Service is multi-homed with the following vendors:
Cable & Wireless
Level3
NTT/Verio
• 3Gbps total throughput structured over 3 independent,
fully burstable Gigabit circuits
• 7x24 NOC services
• Use-based pricing with high-volume (50+Mbps/mo)

National Lambda Rail
National Lambda Rail (NLR) is an initiative that will offer
fiber services in support of advanced research and
educational activities. NLR is spearheaded through a
cooperative partnership between the
–

–
–
Corporation for Network Initiatives in California (CENIC);
Pacific Northwest Gigapop & University of Washington;
U.S. Supercomputing Centers; and
Other major U.S. research and education based networking
organizations.
Futures
• In Process: upgrade of Pacific Wave to support 10GbE connections
• NLR will offer new opportunities:
– Infrastructure for creation of new Pacific Wave nodes
– Backhaul alternatives
• 2003: IEEAF/GEO/Tyco Telecommunications 10-Gbps  from Japan
to Seattle
• Continued support of advanced applications (e.g., streaming media,
HDTV applications)
Implementation & Operations Partners
In cooperation with IEEAF and Tyco, service design
and implementation planning for a significant transPacific circuit donation are underway today between
these research and education groups:
