Layer 1 Services• 10 GigE LAN PHY lambda or OC192 lambda• Point-to-point dedicated 10 Gig bandwidth, unprotected• “Production” (non-breakable) service• Work with NLR member in your area to obtain a lambda• Pricing is based on “incremental cost” in order to provide low cost

lambdas for research & education.

Phase 2 Plans• Obtain 20 Year fiber IRUs (Indefeasible

Rights to Use) on remaining NLR footprint• Purchase Cisco Optical Network System

(ONS) 15454 equipment to light it.– Target Cisco eng design to complete & NLR orders

to be placed late Oct 2004• Second coast-to-coast route

– LA-El Paso-Houston-Baton Rouge-Jacksonville,FL• Two additional north-south routes

– El Paso/Las Cruces-Denver & Houston-Tulsa-KC• Plus add a route from DC-New York• Installation, test & turn-up during late winter,

spring & summer 2005.


NLR Phase 1+Phase 2


Layer 3 / IP Network

• Nationwide 10 Gbps IP Backbone• Utilizing next gen Cisco CRS-1 routers• 10 Gbps connection to the Backbone provided to each

NLR member• Connections controlled by NLR Members/Participants• Ordering & Installation schedule to-be-determined• NLR Engineering Committee getting in-depth briefing on

CRS-1 routers at Cisco, San Jose, Oct 11th -12th.


Layer 2 Network• Nationwide GigE service -Ethernet edge/Ethernet core• Cisco switches - 6509/7609 - connected by multiple 10

GigE lambdas (backbone)• 1 GigE Ports at NLR “MetaPOPs” where members are

located -- 1 Gig dedicated transport (virtual circuits)• Order Switches by end of Oct 2004• Phase 1 GigE: ~Feb 2005• Phase 2 GigE: Summer 2005• Indiana Univ: Installation, test & turn-up.• Indiana Univ: NLR Layer 2/3 Service Center / NOC

Summary• NLR is going strong

• Phase 1 deployment complete

• Use of lambdas continuing to grow

• Technical Support Services maturing

• NLR GigE network coming early 2005

• Phase 2 planning & engineering underway; Phase 2 build to start soon.
