GNA and ANA-200G Update

3rd Network Architects Workshop København, DK – November 12, 2014

NORDUnet Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

Global connectivity today


What is GNA?

•  The GNA is about defining a framework for a global network interconnect for R&E

•  It is set of architectural principles that organisations agree to follow by participating and putting skin in the game

•  ANA-100G Project serves as a path finder for GNA


GNA – Ops & Security

•  Federated Operations and Security Model

•  Develop a data/health template to be applied to all physical devices and services

•  Be minimally invasive. Strive for uniformity, but not at expense of participation


GNA – Network Services

•  Overlay networks e.g. LHCONE

•  Point-to-Point Circuits

•  Dynamic circuits

•  Multi-point VLANs


GNA – Technology and Topology

•  Building blocks: Big Pipes and Open Exchange Points

•  The exchange points must be open and shouldn't impose any AUP

•  Must support the functionality needed to support the GNA network services •  VLAN Translation, etc

•  Must connect to at least one other GXP with link which doesn't impose any AUP.

" Examples of overlay networks over GNA: "   IP Interconnect "   Global Peering

Service "   P2P Circuit

Service "   OPNs "   ONEs " Testbeds


More information on GNA

•  Current status of GNA at Internet2 website:

https://www.internet2.edu/communities-groups/international-community/global-network-architecture-technical-group/

•  If you are interested to participate in the GNA or have any questions please send an email to GNA co-chairs: •  Erik-Jan Bos •  Jim Williams


ANA: A path finder for GNA

•  Idea started 2 years ago, to challenge a few subsea carriers (and an optronics vendor)

•  Consortium established, looking at: •  Technology •  Operations •  Cost sharing •  Admission control •  Etc.

•  This is also on how we can work together
