STAR TAP is the International Component of US Government Agency Research Networks • DREN DOD Research & Education Network • ESnet DOE Energy Science Research network • NREN NASA Research & Education Network • NISN NASA Information Science Network • vBNS NSF very-high-speed Backbone Network Service

  5. Internet2/Abilene is Deeply Connected to STAR TAP • Abilene, the Internet2 backbone network, interconnects at STAR TAP via OC-12. A new OC-48 core router is being installed at the Qwest PoP in Chicago. • Two GigE circuits are being built for StarLight, one for MREN and one for SURFnet. • Abilene’s ITN helped the US complete global connectivity • Global NOC services are at Indiana University www.internet2.edu

  11. StarLight Infrastructure • StarLight isa largeresearch-friendlyco-location facility with space, power and fiber that is being made available to university and national/international network collaborators as a point of presence in Chicago

  12. StarLight Carriers • Currently Present: • Ameritech • AT&T • Qwest • Global Crossing • Soon to be Installed: • Teleglobe

  13. StarLight Infrastructure • StarLight isa production GigE and trial 10GigE switch/router facility for high-performance access to participating networks

  14. StarLight is Operational Equipment at StarLight • StarLight Equipment installed: • Cisco 6509 with GigE • IPv6 Router • Juniper M10 (GigE and OC-12 interfaces) • Cisco LS1010 with OC-12 interfaces • Data mining cluster with GigE NICs • Visualization/video server cluster (on order) • SURFnet’s 12000 GSR • Multiple vendor plans for 10GigE, DWDM and Optical Switch/Routing in the future

  15. StarLight Connections • STAR TAP (NAP) connection with two OC-12c ATM circuits • The Netherlands (SURFnet) has two OC-12c POS from Amsterdam and a 2.5Gbps OC-48 to StarLight this month • Abilene will soon connect via two GigE circuits • Canada (CA*net3/4) is connected via GigE, soon 10GigE • I-WIRE, a State-of-Illinois-funded dark-fiber multi-10GigE DWDM effort involving Illinois research institutions is being built. 36 strands to the Qwest Chicago PoP are in. • NSF TeraGrid (DTF) 4x10GigE network being engineered by PACI and Qwest. • NORDUnet is now sharing StarLight’s OC-12 ATM connection • TransPAC/APAN is bringing in an OC-12, later an OC-48 • CERN’s OC-48 is in the advanced funding stages

  16. StarLight Middleware Partnerships • Provide tools and techniques for (university) customer-controlled 10 Gigabit network flows • Build general control mechanisms from emerging toolkits, such as Globus, for Grid network resource access and allocation services • Test a range of new tools, such as GMPLS and OBGP, for designing, configuring and managing optical networks and their components • Create a new generation of tools for appropriate monitoring and measurements at multiple levels
