Use of high speed photonic networks for efective use of very high quality media production Michal Krsek (CESNET) Mirek Sochor (CESNET/UPP)

NREN networks today Fibre optic based WDM/lambda networking Ethernet IP/IPv6 Nx10Gb/s Utilisation below 1% (whole capacity)

NREN networks tomorrow More capacity – towards 100 Gb/s More Lambdas Better interconnection bellow IP/IPv6 layer Utilisation below 0.1%?

Applications Web –Is Facebook or Yt able to fill up NREN? P2P –How much human resources are you able to dedicated to work with lawyers? Computation –Do you really want to run a cluster over long distance networks (latency)?

Applications II Binary data storage –Tiered storage with replication Realtime media transfer –High capacity special applications

What is CineGrid? CineGrid is a non-profit international membership organization. CineGrid’s mission is to build an interdisciplinary community focused on the research, development, and demonstration of networked collaborative tools to enable the production, use and exchange of very high-quality digital media over high- speed photonic networks. Members of CineGrid are a mix of media arts schools, research universities, scientific laboratories, post-production facilities and hardware/software developers around the world connected by 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks used for research and education.

CineGrid Applications Permanent interconnection of CX –Low bandwith for replications (~100 Mb/s) –Small number of on-net localities –Sometimes streaming (peaky traffic in about ~600 Mb/s) Demo support –Ad-hoc networking (lambdas for 14 days) –Typically one end at well known locality the other in network wilderness –New applications (mostly uncompressed streaming, minimal jitter, zero latency) –Bandwidth for now around 6-9 Gb/s Real projects –High bandwidth (1-5 Gb/s) –Duration about months (3-6) –Both end shall be in network wilderness
