| Background |
| High Performance Facilities Based R&E Networks Operational | ||
| NLR, Internet2, Regional Networks | ||
| Key concept is network control at multiple layers | ||
| Opportunities to explore new areas of networking and applications research. | ||
| Ongoing challenge: ÒHow do you connect researchers to these resources in a reasonable and flexible manner based on industry-researcher partnerships?Ó | ||
| One such resource that meets these requirements is C-Wave | ||
| C-Wave Goals |
| Explore new areas of networking and applications research. | |
| Connect researchers to networks and applications in a reasonable and flexible manner based on industry-researcher partnerships. | |
| Leverage the multiple high performance R&E networks that have been funded and deployed. | |
| Flexible, Opportunistic, Lightweight |
| What is C-Wave? |
| Access to 10G Waves (Layer-1 p2p) | ||
| Per project allocation | ||
| Switched Network | ||
| 10GE backbone links | ||
| Flexible Architecture with MPLS Backbone | ||
| User Connectivity Qualification Based on | ||
| Project requirements (BW & time frame) | ||
| Research merit | ||
| Partnership opportunity | ||
| (Switched Network is preferred over dedicated waves) | ||
| Simple Operational Model | ||
| What C-Wave isnÕtÉ |
| Not for permanent deployments | ||
| Prototype, experiment, research | ||
| Not a highly connected network | ||
| No peering with NLR, Internet2, commodity, etc. | ||
| Not designed for production applications | ||
| Not Designed for critical, non-stop applications | ||
| Redundant trunks and power only | ||
| No 24 x 7 x 365 support | ||
| Ébut the cost/benefit ratio is appealing | ||

| C-Wave Partners |
| Principal partner: National LambdaRail | ||
| Provides wave transport and other services for the C-wave core | ||
| Other partners include CENIC, PNWGP, Cal IT2, iCAIR, EVL and StarLight | ||
| Provide access waves, collocation facilities, and technical assistance | ||
| We seek to extend such partnerships with other R&E entities as we expand this program | ||
