Next Generation Network

• Create network integration architecture with a long-term perspective into future (2015)

• Respond to rapid increases in traffic• Allow autonomous connection• Optimum network resource allocation• Independent of the current Internet

architecture (post-IP)• Research on going for 100Tbps optical

routers, new address space, routing and signalling technologies, enhanced functionalities and survivability through all-optic network



Roadmap to NGN

• NICT launched JGN, 1999, High speed communication infrastructure 5Gbps

• JGN-II capable of 20Gbps, in 2004• Available for use by public sector,

national research institutes and Universities



NGN-2015 targets

• Network Architecture• Enhanced functionalties in Addressing, routing and ignalling• High reliability & survivability• Autonomous/distributed operation and control for support of

systems such as RFID & various sensors for Ubiquitous network environments

• Flexible management/Control• Peta bit level TX processing/capacity• Interserver TX at Tera bit level, U.H.S storage access and

distribution

• Advanced photonic node technology• Integrated router supporting all-optical packet processing,• Near Shannon limit optical communications
