Rationale for GLIFNovember 2004
CA*net 4 Update
> Network is now 3 x 10Gbps wavelengths – Cost of wavelengths dropping dramatically– 3rd wavelength operational in June
> Support for e2e lightpaths for high end applications – most top research institutions interested– E.g. 10GbE CWDM to TRIUMF on UBC campus
> Future growth likely for international transit lightpaths> Korea, Taiwan, Ireland and others have purchased UCLP
lightpaths across CA*net4> In negotiation with other networks> UCLP being deployed on Internet2, TANet2, KREOnet,
i2CAT
CA*net 4 is NOT an optical switched network
> CANARIE has no interest in optical experiments– E.g. HOPI, GMPLS, etc
> There are few applications that need 10 Gbps> There are few applications that require 2 Ghz + 2 Gbytes memory
on the PC> Cost of bandwidth is dramatically dropping
– Cost of wavelengths now affordable by individual researchers– CAVE*net good example
> CA*net 4 is made up of many parallel application empowered or customer empowered specific networks eg:– Computer back planes (Westgrid)– High energy physics network
> The CA*net 4 tries to answer the question how can these autonomous network islands interconnect to each other without a central organization like telco, CANARIE or Internet 2
UCLP: Objectives
> Network management– integrate wavelengths and fiber from different suppliers – integrate within network management domain– offer VPNs to users
> Create discipline specific re-configurable IP networks– Multi-homed network which bypasses firewalls with direct connect to
servers and routers
> User controlled traffic engineering– Active replacement for Sockeye and Route Science– Alternative to MPLS

UCLP intended for projects like National LambdaRail
NLR 2 partner acquires a separate wavelength between Seattle and Chicago and wants to manage it as part of its network including add/drop, routing, partition etc
NLR Condominium lambda network
UCLP: Applications 1
> International Transit– Korea, Ireland, Taiwan layer 1 transit
– Other countries under negotiation> ORANs
– Layer 1 restoral and protections paths
– BCnet, ORANO and RISQ to date> Distributed back planes between HPC Grid centers
– Westgrid (1 GbE moving to 10 GbE)– AceNet to come
> Distributed Single Mount file systems– Yotta, Yotta - SGI
– Needs consistent performance and throughput – Frequent topology changes to meet needs of specific applications
> ATLAS Canada – 980 Gbytes FCAL data once a month from CERN to Carleton U,
UoAlberta, UoArizona, etc– Will significantly increase to Terabytes when production runs start– Would take over 80 days on IP R&E network
> CERN Low level trigger data to UoAlberta– Initially streaming data rates 1 Gbps moving to 10Gbps later in the year
> Canadian virtual observatory– .5 Tbyte per day to UoToronto and UoHawaii– 250 Mbps continuous streaming from CCD devices
> Canada Light Source Synchrotron – remote streaming of data acquisition to UoAlberta – 2 to 5 Gbps continuously
