  1. STAR TAP, Euro-Link, and StarLight Tom DeFanti April 8, 2003

  2. STAR TAP, Euro-Link and StarLight • STAR TAP supports the connections to the SBC/Ameritech NAP, including the OC-12 to StarLight. NSF funding started on May 1, 1997 and ends on April 30, 2004. • Euro-Link supported the co-payments of circuits to Europe and Israel starting 1999; CERN added in 2000. Israel dropped 2002. NSF funding continues one more year with a new supplement to establish a StarLight to GÉANT link. • StarLight supports the connections and infrastructure research activities focused at 710 North Lake Shore Drive. It is an NSF STI grant, funded until October 31, 2005.

  3. A Brief History of STAR TAP • STAR TAP started in 1997 at the Ameritech NAP • Canada, Singapore and Taiwan first DS-3s (1997) • vBNS, vBNS+, Abilene, DREN, NREN, ESnet, MREN • HPIIS awards (1998/99-2003/4) • TransPAC/APAN • Euro-Link: Netherlands, Nordic, France, Israel, CERN • MIRnet/Russia (now NaukaNet) • Korea, Ireland, GEMnet (Japan), China, Hong Kong • Many others via Abilene international Transit Network • Several networks have now moved to StarLight • OC-12 provided between STAR TAP and StarLight • NSF support will end in one year (April 2004) but services may be continued by NU and SBC www.startap.net/NETWORKS/

  4. A Brief History of HPIIS/Euro-Link • Euro-Link in 1999 co-funded DS-3s from STAR TAP to France, Israel, Netherlands and Nordic countries, CERN added in 2000 • Netherlands now at OC-192+ GÉANT • CERN/DataTAG at OC-48+OC-12 • Nordic at OC-3+ GÉANT • France at OC-3+ GÉANT • Israel now uses only GÉANT • 4 years of constant NSF funding helped bandwidth to increased from 4-200x • 1-year supplement will fund 5Gb link to GÉANT and co-fund 10Gb DataTAG link to CERN

  5. StarLight:A 1GigE and 10GigE Exchange Operational since summer 2001, StarLight is a 1GigE and 10GigE switch/router facility for high-performance access to participating networks. StarLight is becoming a true optical switching facility for wavelengths. www.startap.net/starlight/NETWORKS/ Abbott Hall, Northwestern University’s Chicago downtown campus

  6. StarLight is Working to be Everyone’s Other End • International, National, Midwest Regional, Chicago Metro • As a Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet exchange for R&E Production Networks • As a GigE lambda exchange for the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America for Experimental Networks • Supporting 10Gb MEMS-switched Research Networks • As the Chicago host to the NSF DTFnet, a 4x10Gb Network for the TeraGrid and DTF/ETF links to Abilene and others to be added. • As a colo space: 66 racks for networking and computing, data management and visualization support equipment • Using fiber and circuits installed by SBC, Qwest, AT&T, Global Crossing, T-Systems, Looking Glass, and I-WIRE

  7. StarLight National and International Networks as of April 1, 2003 • Abilene 10Gb • ESnet and 6TAP (DOE) • DREN (DOD)-installation in progress • NREN (NASA) • AMPATH (South America) • CA*net4 (Canada) • SURFnet (Netherlands) • NORDUnet (Nordic) • CERN/DataTAG • TransPAC/APAN (Asia) • NaukaNET (Russia) • ASnet (Taiwan) • Others via STAR TAP OC-12 and Abilene transit • See http://loadrunner.uits.iu.edu/mrtg-monitors/starlight/ for statistics on usage

  8. Thanks! • Euro-Link/StarLight planning, research, collaborations, and outreach efforts are made possible, in major part, by funding from: • National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-9980480, ANI-9730202, EIA-9802090, EIA-9871058, ANI-0225642, and EIA-0115809 • NSF Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI) cooperative agreement ACI-9619019 to NCSA • NSF Information Technology Research (ITR) cooperative agreement (ANI-0225642) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for "The OptIPuter" • State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing • Northwestern University for providing space, engineering and management • NSF/CISE/ANIR and DoE/Argonne National Laboratory for StarLight and I-WIRE network engineering and planning leadership • NSF/CISE/ACIR and NCSA/ANL/Caltech/SDSC/PSC for DTF/TeraGrid/ETF opportunities • UCAID/Abilene for Internet2 and ITN transit; IU for the GlobalNOC • CA*net4, CENIC/Pacific Light Wave/NLR for planned North American transport • Bill St. Arnaud of CANARIE, Kees Neggers and Cees de Laat of SURFnet, Olivier Martin of CERN, and Harvey Newman of CalTech for networking leadership
