Why funding of RENs Reading of report “Digital Prosperity” is recommended
(to better understand the nature of the new economy, innovation, productivity and broad-based prosperity of country) http://www.itif.org/files/digital_prosperity.pdf
Research networks are an important source of Internet innovation and contribute to information technology innovation and deployment
Support of research networks development should be understood as priority in each country
4th CEF Networks workshop
4Improvements in Customer Empowered Fibre Networks
How to improve networks Fibres (including short cross border fibres and first mile)
dedicated to research network are crucial Single fibre lines should be used, if improve cost effectiveness Pure optical networking improves functionality and economy
(photonic switches, multicast, waves transiting nodes, alien waves, resource dedication, etc.)
Use full power of photonic devices and programmability - big improvement of functionality, speed, cost and/or other parameters
Experimental Facilities (EF) including long distance dark fibres are inevitable for research of WAN improvements
Lit fibre service simplifies empowering of fibre networks Fibre network cost model is needed
4th CEF Networks workshop
5Improvements in Customer Empowered Fibre Networks
Avoid slow innovation and high costs Slow innovation and high costs are in contradiction with research
networking mission Requirements (concerning research networks design, deployment,
operation and innovation during network life cycle) are substantially improved:
reduce dependency on – data transmission services: use also dark fibres– traditional network equipment vendors: use also open photonic devices for
transmission and switching Reducing dependency brings advantages in procurement and
contracting: competitive offers are accepted only Pre-procurement with electronic and photonic industry (including
collaboration on proposals of standards) will help

Network Layers in research Knowledge of research networks staff:
– Many experts: IP service, routing and switching using equipment of traditional vendors, protocols, SONET/SDH, Ethernet, telco services
– Few experts: Fibre acquirement, Fibre lighting, HW design, FPGA programming, transmission technology
Result: research programs are suggested mostly in the first field Innovation point of view is the opposite: the most important
improvements is coming from photonics technology now Economy point of view is also the opposite: about 80% of costs of
operation are transmission costs as sum of fibre usage cost (about 55%) and fibre lighting costs (about 25% ) – see next slides

7Improvements in Customer Empowered Fibre Networks
Improvements of research possibilities(an example based on Cesnet experience)
Steps to reduce dependency on telco operator services since 1999 Reasons
– Strategic and technical limitations resulting from telco policy– Economics (costs exhausted too big part of funds allocated for research)
Steps to reduce dependency on traditional networking equipment vendors since 2002
Reasons– Innovation policy of vendors sometimes limits research networks development – Lack of cost-effective up-to-date photonic equipment suitable for NRENs
Diversification of funding – participation on internationally funded projects (since 2000)
Technology transfer from research to equipment production and to network services (for example by licensing) since 2006– CLA and COMBO production– Lit fibre service

Fibre network cost model General cost model was elaborated in Porta Optica Study FP6
SSA http://www.porta-optica.org/ Model is based on annualized network costs The most important task of REN from economical point of view
is usually to overcome distances Corresponding cost category is transmission cost as sum of
– fibre cost and – fibre lighting costs.
Model allows comparison of different solutions See example in attachment and Deliverable D3.2: „Economical
analysis, dark fibre usage cost model and model of operations“ for details (draft is available now)

Devices for open lighting Photonics industry products readily available in the market and
based on standards allow building of fully programmable optical network platforms.
This extends well-known open approach from software development to hardware and optical devices development and management.
CzechLight (CL) family is affordable set of photonic devices enabling to use full advantage of up-to-date products of photonic industry by programmable devices
Very cost effective, comparing to traditional approach Availability of transmission parameters to monitoring and
management (impairment monitoring and lightpath switching and restoration, testing of reconfigurable optical transport systems, etc.)
Fully open to improvements during network life cycle

12Improvements in Customer Empowered Fibre Networks
CzechLight family CzechLight (CL) family:
– CLA: family of EDFA amplifiers– CLR: Raman amplifier, – CLS: Optical switch, – CLC: tuneable CD compensator, – CLM: multicast switch– next CL devices are prepared
Concept was proved by deployment in fibre reels, CESNET Experimental Facility (field fibres) and CESNET2 network (in-service), devices are very reliable
Development of UNIX-based management of photonic components has good results (using experience with open software development in universities and RENs)
Possibilities of shaping the future (and further development of open lighting concept)

Dark Fibre and photonics Experimental Facilities
Open dark fibre and photonic Experimental Facility (EF) should be dedicated for support of designing the Internet of the future at all network levels (from dark fibre lighting to network applications in different research areas). – Facilities or testbeds based on lambda connections without full access to dark fibres
and programming of lighting devices are considered not sufficient for the future. The EF enables fundamental shift from current networking technologies that
do not offer programmability and flexibility required by the research community.
We distinguish between EF and testbeds (EF is multi-purpose, long term and less technology dependent)
EF enables advances in network development by supporting experiments and applications
Dilemma for EF and testbeds– real users but little innovation– networking innovation but no real users
4th CEF Networks workshop
15Improvements in Customer Empowered Fibre Networks
CESNET EF CESNET Experimental Facility (EF) consists of dark fibres,
CLAs and switches EF is used for
– testing of new CL devices and new photonic products, – for bulding and operation of testbeds (now Phosphorus testbed), – disruptive experiments with new services and products etc. before
deployment in CESNET2– support of experiments with new applications and research collaboration– first mile solutions testing
EF users: we collaborate with GLIF users in the Czech Republic – collaboration of facilities users looks very reasonable
We are searching for international partners and projects with similar approach
