SURFnet6 overview

• A hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure• Based on SURFnet-owned managed dark fiber all the

way to the customers premises• 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

GigaPort

Lightpaths

• A lightpath is an end-to-end transmission path with fixed characteristics

• Characteristics of a lightpath: Flexible, reliable, secure, economical and high-speed (up to 10 Gbit/s)

• Lightpaths are not constrained by traditional framing, routing, and transport technologies

• The network is becoming an integral part of the scientific instrument: Lightpaths are the building blocks

Key Themes

• A hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure, economies of scale

• Hybrid LANs on Campus

• SURFnet-owned managed dark fiber all the way to all institutes, enabling full use of the hybrid network

• Optical technology is rapidly evolving

• Lightpath technologies:– Static today (OPNs)– Work with Grid community on dynamic and inter-domain

aspects, and see how far we can go
