WaveNet Summary
• Adding 21 new circuits by August 1st• 77 new layer 1 segments
• Utilization• 24% April 2006• 32% expected by August 2006• Segments with 50% utilization or better
– SUNN to SEAT - 75%, CHIC to STAR - 59%, KANS to CHIC 50%, CHIC to CLEV 50%
• NLR Wavenet Weathermap• Shows allocation of layer1 infrastructure by segment.

FrameNet Summary
• 3 Service Types• National Exchange Fabric• Dedicated point-to-point or multipoint• Non-dedicated point-to-point or multipoint
• Example uses:• Dedicated
• SOX to 3ROX (Abilene backup)• Baton Rouge to Jacksonville - the long way - backup
• Non-dedicated• UltraLight• Texas A&M University

FrameNet Update
• Interest by research groups• Collaborative multi-point projects• Non-dedicated service
• Understand utilization, then migrate to dedicated service.
• New Services• Investigation of on-demand dedicated services
• Process for implementing - both backbone and RONS

PacketNet
• Connection Status• 13 out of 15 Members connected• 10 of the 12 have 10 GE
• 8 also have 1 GE secondary connections
• 3 with GE or multiple GE• Peering
• USGS, StarLight,CA*Net,Ultralight, ESnet, DREN• Total routes - ~3500

NLR PacketNet Goals
• Meet the needs of the Network Research community and the Gigapop/RON community• AUP-free
• Allow each group to determine what traffic to send• Removes the need for some “stupid routing ticks”
• Full routing tables• Add some level of Commodity connectivity
• Real traffic environment• Allows for better testing of new network protocols

NLR Optical Switching Project
• Calient Switch• Three possible objectives
• Shared control between backbone and RON.• Fault Tolerance• GMPLS experimentation
• Engineering Committee • Subcommittee to make recommendation on
priorities and switch placement by end of June.

NLR Measurement Infrastructure
• Infrastructure to support both operation and research measurement needs
• Provides pre-GENI infrastructure• Data collection and dissemination points for NLR
services - PacketNet, FrameNet and possibly WaveNet.
• Process• Final review by Engineering committee• Submission to NNRC for review, comments and
recommendation• Postive review by NNRC, recommendation to
board for funding.

Cisco Research Wave Projects
• UltraLight• PI - Harvey Newman, Caltech
• Collaboration of experimental physicists and network engineers whose purpose is to provide the network advances required to enable petabyte-scale analysis of globally distributed data.
• Infrastructure - migrating to 10 GE PacketNet and 10 GE FrameNet
• TransLight• PI - John Silverster, Univ. of Southern California
• Development of a distributed exchange facility on the west coast to allow interconnection of international research and education networks in the US.
• Infrastructure - WaveNet Circuit

Research Projects
• CHEETAH• PI – Malathi Veeraraghavan, Uva• A high-performance, experimental, optical network infrastructure
capable of: (a) on-demand provisioning of end-to-end high-speed circuits, (b) stable transport to sustain control and streaming operations, and (c) middleware and application software to support data transfers, visualization, steering and control.
• Infrastructure - WaveNet circuit
• VINI• PI Larry Petersen/Jennifer Rexford
• VINI is a virtual network infrastructure that allows network researchers to evaluate their protocols and services in a realistic environment that provides a high degree of control over network conditions.
• Infrastructure - an overlay testbed using NLR co-location, FrameNet and PacketNet services.
