  1. Extreme Networking – Experimental Ultra-High Speed Networks Rick Summerhill - Moderator Director, Network Research, Architecture, and Technologies, Internet2 Fall Member Meeting Austin, TX

  2. Ultra-High Speed Networking • In previous upgrades of R&E networks, the pipes were simply made larger • Occurred during the NSF backbone days • First upgrade of Abilene went from 2.5 Gbps to 10 Gbps • Same basic design of the network, however. The architecture remained basically the same • Is that the path to the next generation network? • Perhaps parallelization is the next step? • Or a completely new architecture utilizing ideas from the circuit switched world?

  3. Ultra-High Speed Networking • 40 Gbps is available on some platforms today • At least one OC-768 router blade is available • Waves can be supported by remodulating 10G waves • Technically not difficult to deploy, but the economic incentive has not been there to this point • Commodity providers can parallelize easily – they deal mostly with small flows • Commodity providers have almost no applications that require this type of bandwidth • There are applications in the R&E world that could use these high bandwidths • What does the future hold for capacity? • 100 Gbps? 1000 Gbps? Etc?

  4. Ultra-High Speed Networking • We’ve asked two industry leaders deploying 40 Gbps to comment on further evolution of ultra-high speed networking in the wide area • Both currently have 40 Gbps under development

  5. Participants • John Fee, MCI • Shiro Ryu, Japan Telecom Co., Ltd. Mikio Yagi, Japan Telecom Co., Ltd.
