Move to optical networkingMove to optical networking

• Dense Wave Division Multiplexing supports many 10 or 40 Gbit/s Lambda’s per fiber, so where fiber is available, capacity is virtually unlimited

• Optical equipment development is progressing rapidly, despites the economical dip in the telecom market.

• Network is now faster than the computer

• New network paradigm shift looks unavoidable

Lambda NetworkingLambda Networking

• Next Generation Internet will not be a simple extrapolation of current Internet evolution. Counting on bigger routers and fatter pipes is no longer a realistic option.

• Challenge is how to seamlessly integrate the large amounts of bandwidth that will become available

• International Co-operation is essential• That’s why SURFnet installed a lambda to StarLight

as a research facility available for anyone interested in international lambda networking

The Global Quilt initiativeThe Global Quilt initiative

• Tyco Global Network and GEO donations will be made available via IEEAF to Research and Education Community

• First donation of 622M SDH +10G have come alive at iGRID2002 between Abilene (NY) and SURFnet (Amsterdam) in dual-stack mode.

• Dark fiber pair Amsterdam-Groningen-Hamburg• 622M SDH +10G from US West coast to Japan, Singapore• Collocation space in Carrier Hotels at cable ends• Many other projects in various stages

ConclusionConclusion

• Internet evolution has been tremendous over the last 30 years

• Next wave of innovation is emerging

• Research and Academic community is again driving this evolution, in partnership with ICT industry

• It will be interesting to see the result in 2012
