1 Los Nettos and Translight/Pacific Wave SC 08 November 16-20, 2008

2 20 years of networking The Los Nettos Regional Network was founded in 1988 by leading internet visionaries, Los Nettos continues to provide relatively low cost, high bandwidth, reliable connectivity to the internet and R&E research networks. The Los Nettos project is headquartered within USC s High Performance Computing and Communications Group. Los Nettos members are: Caltech, Claremont Colleges, JPL, LMU LA and USC.

3 The Network Los Nettos is comprised of member provided dark fiber and leased high speed circuits laid throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The network is connected to multiple upstream providers and peering partners. Los Nettos has a 10 gigabit connection to Pacific Wave where peering with national and international R&E networks takes place. The majority of the network backbone is 10 gigabit, there are some 1 gigabit backup links. These 1 gigabit circuits are scheduled for upgrade in early Nov 16-20, 2008 SC08: Los Nettos and Pacific Wave 3

7 Future Plans Optical upgrade, 40 channels for operational and research use. Optical vendors are being evaluated. Provide facilities for initiatives such as Global Environment for Network Initiatives (GENI). Dynamic Circuit provisioning. Activating unutilized dark fiber.

8 What is Pacific Wave? Pacific Wave is an exchange supporting the interconnection of research and education networks on the West Coast of the US. Allows US R&E networks to peer with non US networks over international links; allows US R&E networks to peer with each other in a convenient and cost effective way; also allows non US networks to peer with each other in a neutral way. Pacific Wave is a joint project between the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWGP), and is operated in collaboration with the University of Southern California and the University of Washington.

9 Pacific Wave Pacific Wave is a novel architecture since it is a distributed exchange allowing participants at any of its connection points (LA, Sunnyvale, Seattle, and extension to Tijuana) to interconnect in a transparent way. Pacific Wave supports Layer 3 peering over a layer 2 infrastructure (VLANS); layer 2 peering over a layer 2 interconnect (private VLANS); layer 1.5 interconnect (SONET/SDH, Internet2/DCN); and even direct layer 1 interconnect.

19 Translight/PacificWave Primary Objectives are: 1. Assist in the termination (equipment, backhaul) of the Australian Research Network links from Sydney to the US West Coast (pays for the US portion of the links) 2. Provide funding to allow the links to stop off in Hawaii (on Oahu and the Big Island) 3. Provide funding to upgrade connectivity to the (international) observatories on Mauna Kea 4. Provide partial support for the operation of Pacific Wave exchange facility 5. Provide funding for upgrading the Pacific Wave Exchange to enable newer technologies including lightpath or circuit like switched connections for demanding applications 6. Provide funding for outreach to the user community (science and engineering researchers), especially in Australia and New Zealand Nov 16-20, 2008 SC08: Los Nettos and Pacific Wave 19
