4 AARNet Network Roadmap Today AARNet Years AARNet Years AARNet 4 Research & Collaboration Tools EN4R LightPaths D-EN4R CRPN LambdaPaths Customer Access CPE 1G Access 10G Access 40G Access Network Services P2P 1G Ethernet L3 VPN VPLS G.MPLS IP Backbone 10G 40G 100G DWDM Backbone Near National 40 x 10G National 80 x 40G National 80 x 100G 7 Drivers for Change 10G IP Access Router 10G Optical Circuits (EN4R-10) Dynamic Optical Circuit provisioning (DCN = D-EN4R) Private connections further than Optical Footprint High-Speed (1G+) private collaboration networks Traffic Engineering Splitting of On-net and Off-net Provide a rate limited off-net port/vlan Provide a separate port/vlan for on-net, not rate limited Can complement or replace current bundled service, depending on member needs 8

6 Private Collaboration Networks (VPLS) 11 10G Service Example HPC users require Low latency Low jitter Open Access Treat HPC as outside your internal network Rate limited service 12

7 Networks and the eresearch Agenda What the Network currently provides Where it is deficient Where we are headed New services What researchers want What researchers get 13 Spectrum of Network Services Layer 1: Dark fibre Optical circuits (1G or 10G) Layer 2: Collaborating Researchers Private Network (CRPN) Utilises VPLS on AARNet backbone No dedicated / reserved bandwidth Arbitrary endpoints all directly connected to the AARNet backbone Provisioned on access connection (1G or 10G). Layer 3: Commodity Internet R&E Traffic Rate-limited Off-net Ports 14

8 Network Traffic Est. Assumptions: -1Gbps -10% utilisation days/year 15 International R&E Traffic One Month to 15-Sep-08: Typical R&E Traffic Pattern Mbps CSIRO sending data to Bonn Outbound from Oz Inbound to Oz Peering Networks Outbound Inbound These figures are 95 th percentile peak data rates 16

16 Conclusions Networks define eresearch Research has a variety of requirements: High-end demanding applications of the few (speed, latency, etc) Closed group of collaborating researchers (privacy, security, etc) Needs of the masses (reliability, reach, capacity) Experimental networks supported (Federica, GENI, FIRE, PlanetLab, etc) Some research requirements are very demanding Australia s networks allow researchers to play on the world stage Network capacity & capability must keep ahead of the game Constant incremental growth in capacity and capability required Significant investment required occasionally AARNet/AREN is well-placed to support all forms of eresearch 31 Other Examples 32
