  1. MAX Update SURA IT Committee July 29,2005 Tony Conto

  2. Currently 37 Participants Near-Term Connectors Summer ’05 Inter-American Development Bank Johns Hopkins APL campus U.S. Food & Drug Administration Max will likely have 40 connectors by end of 2005 Doubled network size in 2-3 years Forecast is for continued growth!! High Growth in Production IP Network

  5. MAX Completed a Re-architecture and Expansion • Upgraded and consolidated layer 3 routers • Removed 3 Juniper M160s (EOLed) at edge pops • Installing 2 Juniper T640s, cutting all customers over. • Expansion of layer 1 core optical network • Backhaul with redundancy of switches at pops • Top-tier customer optical backhaul from any pop • Integrating second optical dwdm system (Movaz) • Expansion to new Level 3 pop (NLR) • New dwdm collaboration USM, NetWork MD, JHU from D.C. campus to Baltimore • Next phase FY ‘06 adds 10G links in core & edge

  8. MAX Production Network Services • IPv4 unicast, IPv4 multicast, and native IPv6 unicast. • Internet2 (Abilene network) regional aggregation • ISP resale (currently Qwest DIA, may add another) • NGIX/East FedNet peer point operation • National Lambda Rail (NLR) aggregation and fan-out • Lambda transport on MAX dwdm optical network • MPLS tunnel transport in MAX IP network • Participant Colocation at UMD, Qwest, & Level3 pops • Network monitoring and uptime/usage reporting

  9. MAX Commodity Internet Service • Currently Qwest DIA service, resold to any participant for primary or secondary ISP. • ISP routes kept separate from I2 routes via RFC 2547 MPLS vpns (Separate routing tables, separate peerings) • 14 participants, 500 mb aggregated and growing, based on Quilt pricing. • Adding redundant Qwest peering for backup summer 05.

  10. Strong Carrier Partnerships • With 6 MAX pop locations around region, participants can connect at one or more locations via dark fiber or lit services via aggressive low-cost carriers as well as traditional telcos. • 80% & growing of participant circuits are ethernet. • Strong partnerships with carriers: • Allied Telecom, ATT, Fibergate, Level 3, Looking Glass Networks, MCI, Qwest, Starpower/RCN, Verizon, Yipes.

  11. MAX Operates NGIX/East FedNet Peer Point • “Meet-me” point (NAP ) for national backbones to exchange east-coast traffic. • Converted from ATM to GigE 3 years ago. • Currently Abilene (10 Gb), vBNS (1 Gb), DREN (1 Gb), NISN (1 Gb), NREN (1 Gb), USGS (1 Gb), NLM (1 Gb). • New NGIX peers summer 05: ESnet and GEANT (first international: 10 Gb) • NGIX/E will be one of 4 core switches in Atlantic Wave’s distributed peering fabric (fall ‘05)

  14. DRAGON Research • Dynamic Resource Allocation over GMPLS Optical Networks • NSF funded project under the Experimental Infostructure Networks (EIN) program • Four year $6.5M program, began Sep03 • http://dragon.maxgigapop.net • Purpose: Develop dynamic connection oriented network transport capabilities to support emerging network intensive globally distributed “e-Science” applications • Participating Institutions • MAX, Sobieski (PI) • USC/ISI East Tom Lehman (co-PI) • GMU, Bijan Jabbari (co-PI) • UMD, Don Riley (co-PI) • MIT Haystack Observatory • NASA GSFC • Movaz Networks (commercial partner) • NCSA ACCESS • USNO

  15. DRAGON Objectives • Deploy an all-optical GMPLS controlled metro-area network • Develop open source protocol stacks for the R&E community • Develop inter-domain service routing architecture for light path services • Application Specific Topologies, e.g., Radio Astronomy • Work with MIT Haystack, NASA GSFC, USNO, and others to integrate these features into production applications

  19. Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure Project (HOPI) • Award from Internet2 • MAX is the lead gigapop and partners with NCREN and Indiana University • Focused on understanding hybrid networks comprised of combined packet switched and circuit switched optical infrastructures • Understanding dynamic provisioning across a circuit switched infrastructure • Investigate and implement new and inventive techniques in hybrid networking

  20. Internet 2’s Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure Project (HOPI)

  21. Quilt: National Association of GigaPoPs • MAX is a member of TheQuilt, a national association of GigaPoPs • Membership brings value to MAX Participants • Provides collaboration on projects to benefit the individual GigaPoPs • Leverages multi-state buying power • ISP services with pricing based on aggregated national bandwidth tiers • national pricing for commodity ISP services
