Trans. Light/Star. Light IRNC Award SCI-0441094 • In cooperation with US and European national research and education networks, Trans. Light/Star. Light will implement a strategy to best serve established production science • Trans. Light/Star. Light will support usage by those scientists, engineers and educators who have persistent large-flow, real-time, and/or other advanced application requirements

Scope of Work • Procure and maintain a production OC-192 circuit that connects HDXc’s in MAN LAN in New York City (NYC) and Nether. Light in Amsterdam. • Evaluate feasibility of a second OC-192 for L 1/L 2 production services for high-flow data and collaboration -intensive applications. • Ensure that appropriate traffic monitoring, measurement and analysis are accomplished through NSF-designated partners. • Promote and support availability to the advanced science, engineering and education communities who require ongoing transatlantic production services.

Opportunities for Broader Access • NSF encourages Fednet use of these circuits – To partner with transatlantic Fednet applications development – To assist in providing transatlantic Fednet resiliency • New circuits are evolving quickly – IRNC siblings in 2006, see www. glif. is – IRNC-paid 20 Gbps is a subset of many more, at least 100 transatlantic Gbps

Details of IRNC Trans. Light/Star. Light Transatlantic L 3 Interconnectivity 9/2005 • First 10 Gb: Abilene<==>GEANT L 3 connectivity • VSNL Telecom OC-192 c between NYC and Amsterdam, July 2005 • Connected at each end to Nortel HDXc – MANLAN HDXc in NYC – SURFNET HDXc in Amsterdam • In Amsterdam, SURFnet connects HDXc to GEANT core router • In New York, HDXc is connected to DANTE-owned router and then via Ethernet to MAN LAN Ethernet switch – 2 x 1 GE from mid-July to 12 September, 10 GE from 12 September on – Currently, DANTE is generously providing OC 192 cards and 10 GE cards in its router to connect between HDXc and the MAN LAN Ethernet switch – This is an interim measure until cards are available to permit connection directly from MAN LAN HDXc to MAN LAN switch • NOC services provided by UCAID and DANTE • GEANT also peering with ESnet and CANARIE • Will support SC|05 trial between DEISA and Tera. Grid

Details of IRNC Trans. Light/Star. Light Transatlantic L 1/L 2 Interconnectivity 9/2005 • Second 10 Gb: L 1/L 2 to US Cyberinfrastructure – Star. Light to Nether. Light, thence to • CERN via US LHCnet • London via UKLight • Stockholm via Northern. Light • Prague via Czech. Light – HDXc ports provided by CA*net 4 and SURFnet – NOC services provided by Argonne National Laboratory – Goal: establish persistent lightpath production users

Details of IRNC Trans. Light/Star. Light GLIF L 1/L 2 Interconnectivity 9/2005 • L 1/L 2 connectivity to GLIF (see www. glif. is ) – Star. Light switches can connect IRNC at L 1/L 2 to • US: NLR (CAVEwave, HOPI, Ultra. Light), Ultra. Science. Net • Midwest: I-WIRE, Tera. Grid, MREN • International: CA*net 4, JGN-II, UKLight and SURFnet – Star. Light switches facilitate connecting IRNC to circuits on NLR, Qwest, and CA*net 4 to get to Trans. Light/Pacific Wave, Atlantic. Wave, WHREN, GLORIAD, and CENIC at L 1/L 2, thence to • • • IEEAF to Amsterdam via MAN LAN IEEAF to Tokyo via PNWGP GEMnet to Tokyo via PNWGP Nether. Light via CA*net 4 GLORIAD/CSTNet/KREONet 2, Taiwan. Light, AARnet, Mexico • Huge infrastructure workout for i. Grid 2005 next week
