SURFnet, the organization (1) SURFnet, the organization (1) SURFnet, the organization (1) • Provides the Dutch National Research Network • Not for profit company, 50 employees • 150 connected organizations; 182 physical connections; 800,000 users • Turnover (2002): 30 million Euro • Infrastructure services: – innovation paid for by government – cost effective exploitation for higher education and research SUNET, Kiruna, SE, March 30th-31st, 2004

SURFnet, the organization (2) SURFnet, the organization (2) SURFnet, the organization (2) • Three “product” departments: – Advanced Services – Middleware Services – Network Services • Two “outlet” departments: – Account Advising – Community Support • All operations subcontracted SUNET, Kiruna, SE, March 30th-31st, 2004

SURFnet network generations SURFnet network generations SURFnet network generations • SURFnet1: DECnet Phase 4 over public X.25 • SURFnet2: DECnet and IP over private X.25 • SURFnet3: IP and X.25 over leased lines • SURFnet4: IP over ATM over SDH -> IP over SDH • SURFnet5: IP over unprotected lambda • Moving towards simpler architectures (KIS)… SUNET, Kiruna, SE, March 30th-31st, 2004

SURFnet5 IPv6 SURFnet5 IPv6 SURFnet5 IPv6 • Problem: – SURFnet5 was built using E2 and E4 LCs • Solution: – At the edges: Replaced almost all E2 cards by E3 cards – In the backbone: 6PE (IPv6 over MPLS) • Result: – SURFnet5 is close to wire speed IPv6 at 10 Gbit/s • Next challenge: IPv6 multicast SUNET, Kiruna, SE, March 30th-31st, 2004
