1. Service Delivery to Campus Patrick Christian University of Wisconsin October 12, 2006

2. Outline What is OmniPoP? OmniPoP services (some) WAN to RON/GigaPoP Issues (some) RON/GigaPoP to Campus Issues

3. What is OmniPoP? (RONs) BOREAS-Net WiscWaves & BOREAS-Net MiLR I-WIRE & ICCN I-Light TFN PSU-Net

4. What is OmniPoP? (Participants) –University of Chicago –University of Illinois (UIUC & UIC) –Indiana University –University of Iowa –University of Michigan –Michigan State University –University of Minnesota –Northwestern University –Ohio State University –Purdue University –University of Wisconsin - Madison

5. What is OmniPoP?

6. High-level description/goals –GigaPoP of GigaPoPs (at StarLight) –Sharing of common infrastructure in Chicago (reduced control vs. performance/cost value) –Production service/support only –Aggregation of participants to various networks (e.g. NLR, Internet2-NewNet)

7. OmniPoP Services Services –Layer 2 Ethernet switch (F10) in production today –Considering Layer 3 & (perhaps) Layer 1 (partnership?) Layer 2 service –Private p2p 1/10GE services for members (ports for private purposes) –(today) Production 10GE trunks to various networks Individual member 802.1q VLANs terminate on member L2/L3 equipment at campus & with various network provider Best effort service (statistical multiplexing) w/ no rate limits on VLANs

8. (some) WAN to RON/GigaPoP Issues VLAN coordination/duplication –Campus duplication of VLAN RON/GigaPoP VLANs –OmniPoP developed VLAN plan (attempting to avoid MREN/StarLight, NLR utilized VLAN blocks) –P2P VLAN assignments for member interconnects in 2500 range –(802.1ad, registry?) Oversubscription of 10GE trunks –Broadcast storms –Actual traffic flows (e.g. NewNet routed service + peering) Proliferation of port utilization for different service types Dedication of unutilized capacity for different service types (value proposition) Service definitions & how RON/GigaPoP needs to (not?) be engaged –change our service model (gatekeeper/gateway?) Deterministic vs. best effort Manual/managed/dynamic provisioning

9. RON/GigaPoP to Campus Issues Campus handoff –Economics, technology & politics tend to determine how RON/GigaPoP connection gets to campus lab: Fiber extension of DWDM system –Scalability, redundancy, manual intervention, support Interconnect to campus infrastructure –Sufficient (excess?) capacity, support, automation (some) Software provisioning options (interop/selection?) –(dynamic) DRAGON GMPLS: L1-L3 provisioning –(managed) UCLP software: L1 provisioning –(managed) U-Wisc (AANTS) campus (or others?): L2 provisioning –(managed) OSCARS L2.5/3 control plane provisioning (ultimately) Understand process & then automate it – particularly if we extend concepts from WAN to RON/GigaPoP and ultimately into campus network
