What is this buzz about optical

networking

• Networks are already optical for ages

• Users won’t see the light

• Almost all current projects are about SONET circuits and Ethernet (old wine in new bags?)

• Are we going back to the telecom world, do NRN’s want to become telco’s

• Does it scale

• Is it all about speed or is it integrated services

Page 4: Why is optical networking interesting? Cees de Laat delaat

Current technology + (re)definition

• Current (to me) available technology consists of SONET/SDH switches

• Changing very soon!

• DWDM+switching coming up

• Starlight uses for the time being VLAN’s on Ethernet switches to connect [exactly] two ports

• So redefine a as:

“a is a pipe where you can inspect packets as they enter and when they exit, but principally not when in transit. In transit one

only deals with the parameters of the pipe: number, color, bandwidth”

C -> Need very fat pipes, limited multiple Virtual Organizations, few to few

So what are the facts

• Costs of fat pipes (fibers) are one/third of equipment to

light them up

– Is what Lambda salesmen tell me

• Costs of optical equipment 10% of switching 10 % of

full routing equipment for same throughput

– 100 Byte packet @ 10 Gb/s -> 80 ns to look up in 100 Mbyte

routing table (light speed from me to you on the back row!)

• Big sciences need fat pipes

• Bottom line: create a hybrid architecture which serves

all users in one consistent cost effective way

Research needed

• Optical devices

• Internet Architecture

• Network Elements as Grid Resources

• Transport protocols get in other corners

• How dynamic must your optical underware be

• Don’t mix trucks and Ferrari’s

Revisiting the truck of tapes

Consider one fiber

•Current technology allows 320 in one of the frequency bands

•Each has a bandwidth of 40 Gbit/s

•Transport: 320 * 40*109 / 8 = 1600 GByte/sec

• Take a 10 metric ton truck

•One tape contains 50 Gbyte, weights 100 gr

•Truck contains ( 10000 / 0.1 ) * 50 Gbyte = 5 PByte

• Truck / fiber = 5 PByte / 1600 GByte/sec = 3125 s ≈ one hour

• For distances further away than a truck drives in one hour (50 km)

minus loading and handling 100000 tapes the fiber wins!!!
