Day-to-day lightpath use • Part of lambda capacity statically configured for IP production traffic – Router-to-router SONET circuits between Amsterdam and Chicago for SURFnet and others (e. g. NSF link) – Link & interface state monitored by SURFnet NOC • Part of lambda capacity for lightpath research community – Changed on weekly/monthly basis upon request – Has a ‘test’ status; is hardly monitored by NOC Techs in Paradise 2004, Honolulu / Lambda Networking BOF / Jan 27

Application for a lightpath • Researchers can apply for a lightpath by an e-mail to netmaster-optical@surfnet. nl • Information in the application should include: – Test purpose – End points A and Z [CERN, Star. Light, Stockholm] – Interface type [1 Gb. E: SX or LX, 10 Gb. E WAN PHY] – Number of lightpaths needed – Lightpath capacity in multiples of SONET STS-6 (311 Mb/s): [STS-6 / STS-12 / STS-24 / STS-48 / STS-192] * • Full Gb. E capacity: STS-24 * – VLAN ID (if applicable) – Start date, end date – Contact details (e-mail, phone) * Bandwidth granularity depends on transport equipment, e. g. Cisco ONS 15454 Techs in Paradise 2004, Honolulu / Lambda Networking BOF / Jan 27
Day-to-day operations (1) • SURFnet NOC manages production network plus Nether. Light – Part of Nether. Light has production status – Nether. Light test circuits get lower priority than SURFnet 5 IP network • Some learning curve to get NOC engineers familiar with transport (SONET) troubleshooting – ONS 15454 network operations: craft terminals only • DWDM link to Dwingeloo (ASTRON): very stable, no pro-active management of optical system yet – DWDM (ONS 15252) craft terminal is not very user-friendly Techs in Paradise 2004, Honolulu / Lambda Networking BOF / Jan 27
Day-to-day operations (2) • International lambda network monitoring – SNMP monitoring by NOC for SONET alarms and port errors – BER level monitoring on ONS 15454 SONET ports • BER parameter is part of SLA with carriers – Gb. E ports: errors mostly attributable to LAN troubles – No IP traffic monitoring possible on SONET ports • ONS 15454 cannot look inside SONET circuits, only provide overall quality information (BER, errored-seconds etc) • No trouble with clocking observed yet – SONET network should have one master clock – ONS 15454 internal Stratum III clock is sufficient, no external clock needed Techs in Paradise 2004, Honolulu / Lambda Networking BOF / Jan 27
Day-to-day operations (3) • Layer 0: optical cross connect – Calient Photonic Cross Connect, automated patch panel – Research status only, managed by University of Amsterdam – Topology discovery difficult • Layer 1: SONET layer – Very flexible Gb. E path setups on +- biweekly basis – 10 G end-to-end also possible, for couple of months at a time – Multi-domain setup works very well by building half-circuits – ONS 15454 networks from Canet and SURFnet pre-wired at Star.

What did we learn / need to work on • Point to point lambdas are a powerful service – High-performance research groups are pulling at us after getting a taste of 10 GE all-the-way… • Straightforward to build a hybrid network architecture on top of optical: – Some lambdas to interconnect your IP prod. routers – Some lambdas for new high speed few-to-few usage • Current optical-electrical-optical equipment can allocate sublambdas to individual applications – Ethernet-over-SONET based, this will get more advanced soon (we need to learn what LCAS can do here) • Management is still cumbersome, learning curve for all of us – How to make this dynamic? Or self-provisionable…? Techs in Paradise 2004, Honolulu / Lambda Networking BOF / Jan 27
