IRNC Award SCI-0441094

• In cooperation with US and European national
  research and education networks,
  TransLight/StarLight will implement a strategy to
  best serve established production science
• TransLight/StarLight will support usage by those
  scientists, engineers and educators who have
  persistent large-flow, real-time, and/or other
  advanced application requirements 

3
Scope of Work

• Procure and maintain (minimally) one OC-192
  circuit that connects UCAIDs Abilene network in
  New York City (NYC) to TERENAs GÉANT L3 network
  in Amsterdam.
• Evaluate feasibility of a second OC-192 for L1/L2
  production services for high-flow
  data/collaboration-intensive applications.
• Ensure that appropriate traffic monitoring,
  measurement and analysis are accomplished through
  NSF-designated partners.
• Provide related management, documentation,
  engineering support and education and outreach
  efforts, and attend relevant networking and/or
  discipline science meetings and conferences.
• Promote and support availability to the advanced
  science, engineering and education communities
  who require ongoing transatlantic production
  services.

Details of Interconnectivity

• OC-192(s) between US and Europe
• From MAN LAN in NYC to NetherLight in Amsterdam
• HDXc ports to be generously provided by Abilene
  and SURFnet
• 1st OC-192 Abilene and Abilene ITN L3
  connectivity
• OC-192 between HDXc in NYC/MAN LAN and HDXc in
  NetherLight
• NOC services to be provided by Abilene and DANTE
• 2nd OC-192 (possible) L1/L2 connectivity
• To Europe via Netherlight, GEANT2 and other
  circuits
• Throughout North America via NLR, AtlanticWave,
  HOPI, CAnet4
• To Asia via JGN-II and TransLight/Pacific Wave
• NOC services to be provided by Argonne/CENIC/PNWGP
  
• NSF encourages use by transatlantic Fednet
  applications
• All IRNCs connect via Abilene at L3

Monitoring Plans and Problem Resolution Framework

• L3 NOC services to be provided by Abilene and
  GÉANT
• L1/L2 NOC services to be provided by PNWGP,
  CENIC, Argonne and SURFnet
• L1/L2 NOC services typically include
• Pre-installation design, engineering and
  post-installation top-level engineering support
• Assistance with international circuit
  provisioning, including with domestic and
  international local loops
• International and domestic circuit delivery
• Coordination of circuit, lambda, fiber connection
  and/or other cross-connect provisioning between
  providers and network organizations
• Cross-connections for physical fiber, including
  options for specialized equipment provisioning
  and cross-connections for experiments, testing,
  and demonstrations
• Service installation coordination (circuits,
  peering, addressing requests, equipment,
  wavelengths etc.)
• Consulting on networking equipment selection and
  configuration for international and domestic
  circuits including fiber and wavelength
  interconnections
• Assistance with, and provisioning of, out-of-band
  circuit provisioning for management and control
• Hands-on services, e.g. changes to equipment,
  including installation of equipment in cabinets,
  replacing hardware boards, and verifying
  equipment state, changing cross-connects, etc.)
• Continuous maintenance and outage notification
• Proactive device, wavelength, fiber continuity
  and circuit monitoring
• Problem analysis and escalation (incorporating
  full trouble-ticketing)
• Direct engineering service contact interfaces for
  all technical service problems and
  after-installation services
• Full service information database including
  point of contact information for all services,
  providers, customers and equipment all circuit
  wave and/or fiber information with contacts
  including circuit ids and customer escalation
  lists), all open activities, etc.
• Assistance with equipment shipping including
  international shipping and customs processing
• Reporting on wave and fiber availability and
  performance.

Relevant Opportunities for Coordination with
other IRNC Award Activities

• Measure with Matt Matt
• Discuss security incidents and relevant security
  issues
• Assist transatlantic GLORIAD, African efforts
• Trade tools among TransLight, GLORIAD, UvA, I2,
  etc.
• Promote MAN LAN as an Open Exchange
• Serve together on the IRNC Program Management
  Group
• Come together at iGrid2005 Workshop Sept. 26-30
