GigaPort Next Generation NetworkResearch networking as innovation engine between research and market introduction of new services GigaPort NG Network (2004-2008) Consortium of 50 Dutch research organizations Government grant 40 M Project started January 1st, 2004 Builds on GigaPort project ended in 2003 Partnership with industry

Paradigm shiftNext 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

Lambdasform an excellent basis for IP networkingenable layer 1/2 end-to-end Light Pathsprovide excellent quality on point-to-point connections at very high speed (1-10G)not constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport protocolsare becoming integral part of scientific instrumentsenable creation of Optical Private Networks (OPN)

SURFnet6 overviewA hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructureBased on customer-owned managed dark fiberNative IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructureManaged via a single control planeNetwork nodes reduced from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations

Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid

SURFnet6 on dark fiberSURFnet6 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
