CCIRN Meeting: Optical Networking Topic

North America reportHeather Boyles, Internet2heather@internet2.edu

Multitude of networks in North America with ‘optical’ capabilities

• National-scale– CA*Net– ESnet– NREN– NLR– Internet2

• State/provincial/regional-scale– In US and Canada

• Exchange Points

Optical Network Technologies workshops

• http://www.nren.nasa.gov/workshops/– Past ONT workshops, most recent not yet there

CCIRN topics of interest in this area?

• Sharing experience managing, operating ‘optical’ networks– Variety of levels of management

• Interconnecting ‘optical’ networks– Trans-oceanic links SDH/SONET– Actual interoperability of equipment

• Nortel-Alcatel, Ciena-Alcatel tests ongoing, others?• Collect results?

– ‘optical’ in the sense of ‘lightpaths’ or circuits• Coordination of manual, static set-up across domains• Interoperability of respective control planes for dynamic set up

across domains• GLIF topics, CCIRN topics?
