SURFnet6 network

Next generation is not a simple extrapolation of current networks

Hybrid network architecture seems to be the only valuable NREN option for the future:

Packet switched internet for regular many-to-many usage Light Paths for new high speed few-to-few usage

5

LambdasLambdasLambdasLambdas

form an excellent basis for IP networking

enable layer 1/2 end-to-end Light Paths

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

not constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport protocols

are becoming integral part of scientific instruments

enable creation of Optical Private Networks (OPN)

SURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overviewSURFnet6 overview

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 nodes reduced 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 SURFnet owned managed dark fiber via the customer premises

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

< 6 €/meter per pair

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