Cisco’s Connection to the Future

Jane Butler

Head of Strategy and Collaboration

What I would like to talk about……

• Through the Looking Glass with the scientific and academic community

• Extending the deployment of IP networks into Central, Eastern Europe and Central Asia for the scientific and academic communities.

• Philanthrophic work and Cisco Foundation

• Research Projects funded by European Commission

Trends ………

• Services: IPmc, IPv6, QoS, MPLS, GMPLS

• 10 Gb/s, 2.5 Gb/s IP over WDM core, POS

• Higher Speeds

STM-256 / 40 Gb/s will require a massive investment from the carriers on their optical infrastructure

40 Gb/s equipment is currently not “palm-size”

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Metro Aggregation

• Optical Infrastructure provided by carriers – trend is to move towards private ownership of dark fibre and ‘own’ the optical transport and its integration with IP.

Update on collaboration with SURFnet and UKERNA

• 10GB core networks for operational and experimental traffic

• Excellent examples of close collaboration between engineers

• Surfnet - dual stack – IPv4 and IPv6

• iGRID happening in Amsterdam this week – first 10Gb/s transatlantic link between Netherlight and Starlight in Chicago.

• iGRID has the first use of 10Gb/s campus connections

• UKERNA/UCL looking at Managed Bandwidth for GRID applications – results shared across GRID community

Typical collaborations with Universities

• PhD students collaborate with Cisco on projects of interest to both parties

• Funding comes from Cisco in Europe or through the global Cisco University Research Programme

• Maybe matched by external govt funding

• At UCL they have ported SIP based voice code to IPv6

• At Cambridge they are doing detailed analysis of network statistics allowing PTTs to apply usage based billing accurately.

• At the Neumann Institute for Computing in Germany they are designing a prototype bandwidth broker for networks.

• Just completed testing of 10Gb/s performance with functionality on 7600’s at Cesnet

• Working on PIONEER project definition in Poland

• Welcomed Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary into 6NET

• Assisting Hungarnet overcome DoS attacks

• Industrial partner on SEEREN led by GRNet

• Rolling out Cisco Networking Academies in many countries – Dragostina Vassileva Paunova (dpaunova)

• Industrial partner of Silk project – providing routers, content engines and switches for each node.
