8 SURFnet6 overview A hybrid optical and packet switching infrastructure Based on customer-owned managed dark fiber Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning over a single transmission infrastructure Managed via a single control plane Network nodes reduced from 20 routed locations to 2 routed locations Paving the way to a ubiquitous and scalable Services Grid 8

9 SURFnet6 on dark fiber SURFnet6 will be entirely based on SURFnet owned managed dark fiber via the customer premises Over 5300 km fiber pairs available today; average price paid for 15 year IRUs: < 6 /meter per pair Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6 9

24 GLIF: Global Lambda Integrated Facility Established at the 3 rd LambdaGrid Workshop, August 2003 in Reykjavik, Iceland Collaborative initiative among worldwide NRENs, institutions and their users A world-scale Lambda-based Laboratory for application and middleware development GLIF vision: To build a new grid-computing paradigm, in which the central architectural element is optical networks, not computers, to support this decade s most demanding E-science applications. 24

25 Conclusion Users need new services that current networks cannot support Telecommunication infrastructures will become part of the Grid and will be integrated in scientific instruments Hybrid networks delivering IP and Lambda Services can meet user demand within budget constraints SURFnet6 will enable advanced multimedia collaboration and applications, and the use of Grid technology in research 25
