NORDUnet NORDUnet So what started GNA work? Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  No global NREN strategy coordination existed prior to 2012  Initiative by Internet2, CERNET, NORDUnet and Janet to organize strategic dialogue  Goal: Seamless global service delivery for users in R&E  Participants selection based on R&E stats, smaller group ”G20” → CEO Forum 

NORDUnet NORDUnet Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Global Network Architecture Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  GNA: One of the four CEO Forum's Challenges, est. Geneva, Sep 2012  Vision: To describe an inclusive, collaborative Next Gen intercontinental R&E network infra with a 5 to 10 year horizon  Initial document by Xing Li (CERNET) and Jim Williams (Internet2) GNA work →

NORDUnet NORDUnet Work in Progress Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  Two new groups established May 2013: Narrative group Exec Action Team – → Architecture group: – Jim Williams (I2) and EJB co-chairing •  Deadline: Early December 2013 Interim Paper – →

NORDUnet NORDUnet GNA – approach Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  Green-field approach, leveraging: Existing and planned subsea cables – Research and science installations – Advanced R&E Networks + their – BCPs  Yielding: Powerful network substrate: – Fat pipes (fiber or spectrum) • Open Exchange Points • Overlay networks –  Migration from current GNA →

NORDUnet NORDUnet GNA – substrate (1) Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  The transport Substrate: The basis for overlay networks – Possible examples include: – IP Routed interconnect • Global peering service • Point-to-point circuit service • OPNs • ONEs • Testbeds • Demo networks • … •

NORDUnet NORDUnet GNA – substrate (2) Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  No big bang scenario: Slow start (low hanging fruit first) – Gradual phasing in – No-one left behind –  Steering the transport Substrate: First: Manual (horizon: 5 years) – – e.g. SA2 work important Later: Automatic (horizon: 10 years) –

NORDUnet NORDUnet GNA – Next Steps Nordic Infrastructure for Research & Education Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education  Continue with the Architecture group: High-level, focused on long-term – goals (5-10 yr) Looking at infrastructure and – research trends, not just at technologies Coordinating funding in smart ways –  Exposing the GNA ideas to a broader audience, e.g. at GLIF Tech & the TERENA Network Architects Workshop: To test ideas with broader audience – To solicit input –
