SURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overview

Realization of a hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure

Based on customer-owned managed dark fiber

Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructure

– Managed via a single control plane

– Network from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations

Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid

SURFnet6 on dark fiberSURFnet6 on dark fiberSURFnet6 on dark fiberSURFnet6 on dark fiber

SURFnet6 will be entirely based on own dark fiber

Over 5300 km fiber pairs available today; average price paid for 15 year IRUs:

< 6 EUR/meter per pair

Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6

SURFnet6: Light Path ProvisioningSURFnet6: Light Path ProvisioningSURFnet6: Light Path ProvisioningSURFnet6: Light Path Provisioning

Lambdas form an excellent basis for IP networking

Enables users or applications to create layer 1/2 end-to-end Light Paths

Provides excellent quality on point-to-point connections at very high speed (1-10G)

Light Paths aren’t constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport protocols

Lambdas are becoming an integral part of scientific instruments

Enables creation of Optical Private Networks (OPN)

GLIF: Global Lambda Integrated FacilityGLIF: Global Lambda Integrated FacilityGLIF: Global Lambda Integrated FacilityGLIF: Global Lambda Integrated Facility

Established at the 3rd LambdaGrid Workshop, August 2003 in Reykjavik, Iceland

Collaborative initiative among worldwide NRENs, institutions and their users

A world-scale Lambda-based Laboratory for application and middleware development

GLIF vision: To build a new grid-computing paradigm, in which the central

architectural element is optical networks, not computers, to support this decade’s most demanding e-science applications.
