NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education The A in GNA It is a reference architecture It is not a network It is to procure and build against It is not a central NOC operating gear It is a new paradigm for intercontinental R&E networking

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education History – Getting to 100G Status before ANA-100G 10G North Atlantic has been the norm since iGrid2001 in Amsterdam 100G ULH transmission gear took rather long to be market ready ANA-100G Pilot ANA-100G did world's first 100G clear channel transmission across an ocean in June 2013 (TNC2013) No market for 100G North Atlantic at that time, as shown by DANTE and Indiana University tenders

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education ANA-100G Pilot: June 2013

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education The way forward for ANA Open Exchange Points: Corner stone of ANA system Jointly working on: Sound and simple principles for cost sharing Federated Operations Joint Engineering

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education Defining Fed Ops Work started at end of ANA Pilot Aim: Define workable and stable Ops Processes in a BW sharing environment Team headed by Dale, consisting of: CANARIE ESnet GEANT Internet2 NORDUnet SURFnet

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education Front and Center: OXPs OXPs are ANA’s cornerstone OXP Operations taking a leading role So, MAN LAN, WIX, NetherLight & GEANT Open NOCs are front & center

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education Example: Hibernia 100G Link: 100 Gbit/s clear channel lambda End points: A: NetherLight in Amsterdam, NL Z: MAN LAN in New York City, NY, USA Supplier: Hibernia Owner: NORDUnet Operations done by: NetherLight NOC, i.e. SURFnet NOC MAN LAN NOC, i.e. Internet2 IU

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education Processes All Operations Processes dealt with Incident handling Maintenance processes Reporting Escalations RACI tables R = Responsible A = Accountable C = Consulted I = Informed

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education Next steps Defining Open Statistics, current thinking: Port statistics generally available Opt out possible No NetFlow data available at OXPs Further fine-tuning processes
