Jacqueline Brown University of Washington Pacific Northwest Gigapop Internet 2 Spring Meeting Arlington, VA USA April 8, 2003

Pacific Wave International Peering Participants at the Pacific Wave peering exchange can… – Peer directly with major R&E networks worldwide; – Reduce costs associated with IP traffic that would otherwise transit commercial carrier circuits; – Increase efficiency by directing traffic as quickly as possible to the target network/organization; – Transfer IP traffic inclusive of multicast, IPv 4, IPv 6; – Access the NOC 24 x 7 x 365. Pacific Wave is also a recommended exchange point for peering with the Abilene/Internet 2 network.

National Lambda Rail (NLR) is an initiative that will offer fiber services in support of advanced research and educational activities. NLR is spearheaded through a cooperative partnership between the – – Corporation for Network Initiatives in California (CENIC); Pacific Northwest Gigapop & University of Washington; U. S. Supercomputing Centers; and Other major U. S. research and education based networking organizations.

Futures • In Process: upgrade of Pacific Wave to support 10 Gb. E connections • NLR will offer new opportunities: – Infrastructure for creation of new Pacific Wave nodes – Backhaul alternatives • 2003: IEEAF/GEO/Tyco Telecommunications 10 -Gbps from Japan to Seattle • Continued support of advanced applications (e. g. , streaming media, HDTV applications)

Implementation & Operations Partners In cooperation with IEEAF and Tyco, service design and implementation planning for a significant trans. Pacific circuit donation are underway today between these research and education groups: More Information will be provided as available.
