1 RNP Experiences and Expectations in Future Internet R&D CPqD, Campinas 23 September 2009 Michael Stanton Director of Innovation Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa - RNP 2009 RNP

2 Introduction to RNP RNP is Brazil s NREN (National Research and Education Network), fully supported by the federal government to provide advanced network services to the higher education and research community. RNP has operated its own IP network since 1992, and has continually renewed its technology since then. Since 2002, RNP, together with CPqD, the leading telco R&D centre, has built and operated a wide-area optical network testbed (Project GIGA), which is now being directed to Future Internet research and development, beginnng in

3 Research networks and testbeds in Brazil World-class research networks to support large-scale collaborations: RNP national backbone network - up to 10 Gbps upgrading to hybrid packet-circuit architecture in 2010 RNP metropolitan dark fibre networks in capital cities international connections to Latin America and Europe (through RedClara) and to North America (with ANSP) upgrading to 20+ Gbps in 2009 (including RedClara2/ALICE2) cross-border fibre to neighbouring countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile) by 2010 Large-scale optical network testbeds provided through: Project GIGA km (RNP with CPqD, federal support) Project KyaTera km (SP state support) Future (from 2010) availability of experimental capacity on production network infrastructure 3

5 International collaborations - 1 RNP strongly supports CLARA and the ALICE2 project, partially financed by the EU, which is improving international links within Latin America and to GEANT RNP is also investing in cross-border fibre projects connecting Brazil to Southern Cone countries: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay RNP and ANSP provide redundant connectivity to RedCLARA by ceding bandwidth between US and Brazil RNP is a member of GLIF (Global Lambda Interactive Facility) development of circuit technologies and their use CineGrid technologies and network support for digital cinema perfsonar consortium for network performance monitoring 5

11 Project GIGA testbed Since 2002 RNP, the local NREN, and CPqD, the leading R&D centre in telecom, have jointly coordinated a large-scale experimental R&D initiative in networks and applications, built around a wide area optical testbed network in southeast Brazil, with the active participation of research groups from over 50 research institutions and local industry. 11

12 GIGA testbed network - location dark fibre-based 700-km inter-city backbone in states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (south-east Brazil) Initially 20 universities and R&D centers in 7 cities 2.5G and 10G DWDM in the inter-city backbone 2.5G CWDM used in the metropolitan area testbed network 12

13 GIGA testbed network - location Universities IME PUC-Rio PUC-Campinas UERJ UFF UFRJ Mackenzie UNICAMP USP R&D Centers CBPF CPqD CPTEC INCOR CTA FIOCRUZ IMPA INPE LNCC LNLS 13

14 Testbed network design 2.5G DWDM inter-city network between Campinas and Rio de Janeiro (some upgrades to 10G) up to 6 waves per link (can use 8) 2.5G CWDM metro networks in São Paulo, Campinas and Rio de Janeiro all links currently 1 Gigabit Ethernet optical equipment from the Brazilian firm, Padtec ( São Paulo Campinas IP equipment from Extreme Networks S.J. dos Campos 1λ 3λ 1λ 2λ 2λ 2λ Rio de Janeiro São Paulo MAN SP S.

15 Project GIGA phase 2 In 2009, a second phase of this initiative was begun to focus more clearly on the future of the Internet, with support for a clean-slate approach proposed provision of a large-scale GENI or FIRE-style testbed with virtualised resources and programmable network devices testbed to be extended using circuits from RNP s future hybrid Research Network 15

16 RNP involvement in testbeds: pertinent strategic objectives testbed as a pre-deployment laboratory for future versions of RNP networks, with planetary scale experiments (using our international connections) when appropriate FIRE / GENI class testbed for Future Internet architectures and applications Wide involvement of Brazilian R&D groups and open to collaboration (federation) with similar initiatives in other countries Focus on research and prototype development Maintain close links with academic community and local industry Participation in planetary-scale experiments 16

17 Some FI research activities in Brazil GIGA Phase 2 will support a wide variety of concurrent FI research activities, both in networking technologies and user applications. Horizon (new Internet architectures) approved in 2008 by Funttel (Brazil) and ANR (France) UFRJ, Unicamp, PUC-Rio, UMPC (FR), industrial partners Web Science (consortium led by UFRJ) approved in 2008 by CNPq (National Institutes for S&T (INCT): 3 to 5 years) experimental research into Future Internet Architectures (researchers from RNP, UFF, UFPA, UNIFACS, USP) initial construction of optical+wireless testbed, with adoption of PlanetLab/VINI for network virtualization, based on RNP network 17

18 International collaborations - 2 RNP has recently supported a number of projects seeking US funding (IRNC2 programme from NSF). FENRIR, Federated Experimental Network Resources for International Research NORDUnet Supporting escience applications using path-engineered multi-layer hybrid networks and wide-area file systems U. Virginia AmLight Teleconcordia: Collaboratory Without Walls For Computational Science - FIU 18

19 FuturaRNP and 2010 RNP is engaged in several initiatives, which are changing the face of its infrastructure: adoption of a layer 2 national backbone, and introduction of static and dynamic end-to-end circuits as well as routed IP (Hybrid Network) extension to all 27 capitals and 10 other cities of optical metro networks based on Ethernet technology (layer 2) huge increase in capacity, when possible through multiple lambdas in DWDM systems A desirable consequence would be the permanent reservation of capacity for experimental activities, segregated from production traffic (à la GENI) 19

20 Federation with other initiatives The deployment of an experimental facility in Brazil to support research into new architectures and applications will simplify international collaboration with similar initiatives abroad This would be brought about by the interconnection (federation) of the national facility with similar facilities in other countries It should be noted that this style of federation is one of the characteristics of the projects currently underway in the USA, Japan and Europe. 20

21 Conclusion RNP provides network connectivity within Brazil and with other countries is modernizing its infrastructure to provide high-quality IP and end-to-end circuit connectivity for scientific collaboration, both at national and international levels provides experimental infrastructure for FI R&D is well-connected to research communities in FI in Brazil 21
