Background (NewMAN project) Extension of 21 local teleinformatic scientfic networks - NewMAN

• Extending the amount of equipment (purchase of network equipment) in

21 centers of Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) in order to ensure and maintain the highest world standards in the scope of network infrastructure dedicated to scientific institutions connected with MANs all over Poland

• Developing the network infrastructure to facilitate the connecting of

subsequent scientific institutions to the MAN

• Developing the network infrastructure to allow the connected institutions

to use higher bandwidth links

• Increasing the reliability of MANs

Advanced data transmission services for scientific and research community Flexible DWDM transmission system MPLS backbone supporting user defined requirements

DWDM network Overview

• Adva FSP3000R7 platform
• Meshed backbone network
• Colorless, directionless,

contentionless ROADMs – 35 ROADM nodes

• 8 – 2 degree
• 146 directions
• GMPLS control plane
• Any-to-any services

– 10GE transponders – 100G ready and tested – Without OEO conversion and 3R regeneration between end-points

DWDM network High Availability technologies (Adva)

DWDM network High Availability options (Adva control plane)

• Restoration

– Primary / Working (Control Plane restores primary tunnels) – Secondary / Protection (Control Plane restores secondary tunnels) – All Connections (Control Plane restores primary and secondary tunnels)

DWDM GMPLS control plane

• Dynamic lambda provisioning with GMPLS signaling
• Adva proprietary extension for ROADM equalization request

– Performs hop by hop equalization on all nodes on the path – The equalization may take few minutes (~ 2-3) depending on number of ROADMs in the path

• Adva specific properties

– Currently there is no automatic fallback mechanism. The optical path is not re-established after network failure is repaired. This process requires manual request (by operator)

• Network design

– Optical channel (lambda) restoration performed manually depending on service requirements and type of network failure (estimated duration time).

Optical channels for reliable Internet access

• Providing reliable access to

Internet for MAN’s routers

– Dante World Service end-point located in Poznan

• 2 routers
• 2 redundant links
• 2 independent channels

(lambdas)

– Primary: Shortest path/latency – Backup: Alternative fiber path and resources

• No DWDM protection and/or

restoration required

– DWDM resources usage similar to protection but additionally provides backup for routers

• Only BGP policies applied on

the routers
