SURFnet6 overview

• A hybrid optical and packet switching
  infrastructure
• Based on customer-owned managed dark fiber
• Native IPv4, IPv6 and Light Path Provisioning
  over a single transmission infrastructure
• Managed via a single control plane
• Network nodes reduced from 20 routed locations to
  2 routed locations

5
SURFnet6 on dark fiber

• SURFnet6 will be entirely based on SURFnet owned
  managed dark fiber via the customer premises
• Managed dark fiber infrastructure will be
  extended with new routes, to be ready for SURFnet6

6
SURFnet6 IP Services

• IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity
• Unicast
• Multicast
• 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Small routed IP core in Amsterdam at two separate
  locations
• Congestion-free via overprovisioning
• Resilient

SURFnet6 Light Path Provisioning

• A Light Path
• has a predictable, constant and consistent
  protocol behaviour
• can be created using different network
  technologies
• can only be used by authorised users
• is created based on intelligent behaviour of
  the network itself or is created on indication of
  a user or application
• may span across neighbouring networks. User to
  network signalling may be implemented in a number
  of different ways, e.g. out of band as a Grid- or
  Web-service or in-band using a signalling
  protocol such as OIF-UNI, RSVP etc.

Customer Connections

• IP Routing static or BGP
• Gigabit Ethernet SX (multi-mode) or LX/ZX
  (single-mode)
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY (single-mode fiber)
• Depending on location in topology one or two
  connections

• November 2004 Site-surveys at larger PoP
  locations by Telindus
• December 2004 Delivery hardware, build SURFnet6
  Testbed and build SURFnet6
• core locations SARA and Telecity II
• January 2005 Start building SURFnet6 CPL
  network
• April 2005 Start SURFnet6 NOC
• July 2005 Start migration customer connections
  from SURFnet5 to SURFnet6
