SURFnet6 overview

• The first nation-wide hybrid optical and packet
  switching infrastructure
• Based on 6000 km of SURFnet-owned managed dark
  fiber, all the way to the customers premises
• SURFnet6 delivers all SURFnet5 services (native
  IPv4 and IPv6) plus Light Path Provisioning
• Over a single transmission infrastructure
• Managed via a single control plane
• Hence, in an economically sound way

Lightpaths

• A lightpath is an end-to-end Layer 1 transmission
  path with fixed characteristics, e.g.
• Economical
• Reliable
• Secure
• High-speed (up to 10 Gbit/s)
• Lightpaths are not constrained by traditional
  framing, routing, and transport technologies
• Lightpaths are the building blocks for Optical
  Private Networks (OPNs) and scientific instruments

Status SURFnet6

• Photonic layer stable since summer 2005, SURFnet5
  over SURFnet6
• Network accepted from Industry Partner at end of
  2005
• SURFnet6 NOC operational
• Transition well underway
• Over 75 of ports moved to SURFnet6
• Thanks to the cooperation of the connected
  organizations already transitioned
• On the road to be ready before July 1, 2006

12
Transition in more detail

• Planning shows connected organization transitions
  until Jun 15, 2006, still yielding two weeks of
  slack
• Transition of IP external connectivity almost
  done
• AMS-IX Done, at 2x 10GE
• Private peers Progressing, at multiple GE
• GEANT2 Done, at 2.5G POS, 10G POS follows soon
• Upstreams CW done at 3x GE, GX follows at 3x GE

13
Lightpaths and OPN are here!

• Lightpaths, e.g.
• Done
• 10G LOFAR Amsterdam-Groningen
• 1G Score Enschede-Montreal, Canada
• Work in progress
• 10G LHC Amsterdam-Geneva, Switzerland
• 10G DEISA Amsterdam-Frankfurt, Germany
• Optical Private Networks being implemented, e.g.
• Done ArtEZ, Avans, HSDrenthe, HAN, VU
• Work in progress WUR, OU, INHOLLAND
