1. StarLight Implementation June 5, 2001 Andrew Schmidt (schmidt@evl.uic.edu) & Linda Winkler (winkler@mcs.anl.gov)

2. StarLight Colocation Northwestern - 710 North Lake Shore Drive DataComm facility for University DMS100 Space for 40 equipment racks plus carriers Shared space w/ NOC and Engineering Staff Power: –Two, 120 volt, 20 AMP AC circuits –Battery and Diesel backup Fiber: –Dual Entrance –Multiple carriers: Qwest, L3, ATT, SBC, MFN, …

3. 710 N. LSD Northwestern Close to Carriers Close to NAP

4. Equipment –Cisco LS1010 –Cisco 6509 –Juniper M10 Dual OC12s to NAP PVC NAP participants Layer 3 policy –IP Addresses –Route Server –IPv4 available –IPv6 StarLight Colocation Northwestern - 710 North Lake Shore Drive

5. Chicago NAP Peer to StarLight Feeder hub for STARTAP and MREN Approximately 130 connections Peaks to 6Gbps load Problems –port speed capped at OC12c –No capability to gather statistics at switch Location for STARTAP services –Migration to 710 N. LSD planned

6. Connection to legacy STARTAP NAP 2*OC12c NAP 2*OC3c 710 N Lake Shore Dr225 W Randolph M10 LS1010 6509 SURFNET ABILENE ESNET ANL EVL NCSA LS1010 M5 International Connections L2 interconnect L3 interconnect NU

7. Value Added Services: STARTAP StarLight IPV4 routing IPV6 routing Native Multicast Exchange General purpose UNIX machine NLANR Caching Project NLANR AMP Router Proxy DiffServ/QoS Experiments

8. Test and measurement capabilities STARTAP –NLANR/MOAT OC3MON –mrtg L3 only StarLight –NLANR/MOAT –Will implement mrtg –Netflow capable (? Interest in data)
