David R. Richardson, Mgr. Network Engineering University of Washington Pacific Rim Networking Meeting Honolulu, Hawaii February 21-22, 2002
Pacific Northwest Gigapop The Pacific Northwest Gigapop is the PNW’s access point to Internet2, high performance U.S. Federal Networks, and high speed commodity Internet R&D testbed inviting national and international experimentation with advanced Internet-based applications Located in Seattle, Washington USA
Support of Advanced Applications • Microsoft Land Speed Record • UW Internet HDTV • Measurement projects (GigaTCP, AMP, Surveyor…) • ISIe/Tektronix Uncompressed HDTV • ResearchChannel • …
Pacific Wave Pacific Wave is a service of the Pacific Northwest Gigapop. • High speed peering point for regional and international networks • Complement of Abilene and CA*net3 International Transit Network services • Open peering point for participant-managed bilateral peerings
Pacific Wave Architecture An ATM free zone! Based on a pair of Gigabit Ethernet switches providing two subnets Abilene Switch PNW Router CA*net3 . . . Switch PNW Router AARNet
Abilene Switch PNW Router CA*net3 . . . Switch PNW Router AARNet Peering at Pacific Wave • Peer with the Pacific Northwest Gigapop • Peer with Abilene, CA*net3 and receive their ITN service to reach other networks • Peer with other Pacific Wave participants
Advantages of Pacific Wave • Close to major Pacific cable landing sites • Located in incumbent telecommunications carrier grade hotel • easy access to co-lo services • easy access to fiber-meet-me-room • easy access to full West Coast fiber grid • Gigabit Ethernet is high speed, low cost, low maintenance • No PNWGP staff involvement required to setup your peerings; no ATM PVC’s or mandated routing policy • Switches implement PIM-SM snooping for increased multicast efficiency
Advantages of Pacific Wave (cont.) • 24 x 7 Network Operations Center • Redundant environmentals (DC, HVAC) • PNWGP Commodity Internet Services • Engineered and delivered via four diverse tier-one vendors • Vendors chosen after exhaustive review of capacity, support, peering, etc. • Diverse geographic connectivity for commodity services • 1.45Gbps throughput (under expansion)
Networks at Pacific Wave: Feb. 2002 • AARNet – Australian Academic & Research Network • Abilene Network/Internet2 • ATT Broadband Internet • CA*net3/CANARIE • DREN – Defense Research and Engineering Network • ESNet – Energy Sciences Network • Microsoft Corporation • Pacific Northwest Gigapop • Siemens Medical – Pointshare • TANET2 – Taiwan Research Network • TransPAC – Asia Pacific Academic Networks (APAN)
