ESLEA at UKLight9 UKLIGHT is a research network connecting UK to NetherLight (Amsterdam) StarLight (Chicago) UKLIGHT is fully funded, out to tender UK PoP at ULCC (London) Hope for 10G links Due to start operation in Jan 2004 UKLIGHT is an opportunity any reasonable project which has needs not easily satisfied by the IP production network may apply to make use of it HPC remote compute and visualisation Radio Astronomy HEP Data transport……….see next section

ESLEA at UKLight10 UKLight open meeting What is UKLight What is the International Light infrastructure How projects might use it 3rd November Will publicise through UKERNA & NeSC web sites If anyone wants to go let me know !!!!!!!!

ESLEA at UKLight20 SuperJANET5 – a Hybrid Routed/Switched Network ? The key concept is parallelism at the transmission level Coarse grained paths/circuits –Multiple fibres –Multiple wavelengths Finer grained multiplexed paths/circuits –Structuring each wavelength Foundation infrastructure provides switched paths The standard IP service would be provided over one or more sets of these paths Specific paths could be set up for and between e- Science and Research groups

ESLEA at UKLight21 Router

ESLEA at UKLight22 A possible set of services could be: Production IP service – High reliability & availability High capacity research & e-Science connections – network layers 3/2/1 as required –Mutual protection from production traffic Network R&D – potentially any or all of Layers 3/2/1 –Sequestered from production network Institutions would take the combination of services they required Integrated infrastructure – separate services Flexible architecture – enable integration, access and evolution

ESLEA at UKLight23 Consultation: Research & e- Science SJ5 Overview paper Set background – context for consultation Open process Anyone can respond – information on web – UKERNA will write to Heads of Research Councils, RC Networking Contacts, DTI/OST Research & e-Science Workshop - November (5th/6th)……

ESLEA at UKLight24 Research & e-Science Requirements Workshop By invitation - participation from the following groups Research Council –Policy makers / IT strategists Network knowledgeable scientists from each Councils community E-Science –Centre Directors and Technical Directors Nominees Network research community Special Interest Groups –Particle Physics & Astronomy (PPNCG) –Others ?

ESLEA at UKLight25 Super Janet 5 Planning is just starting Currently there is little evidence to motivate an upgrade from 10 -> 100 Gbit/s as SJ4 is empty … However there is a realisation that it may be a Multi service network. There is about to be a Research Needs focused workshop (5/6 Nov) HEP has submitted a large requirements survey as part of an e-Science requirements exercise
