NLR Layer 2 Goals
|
|
|
Facilitate point to point or point to
multipoint Ethernet transport at rates at or above 1Gbps. |
|
Provide detailed performance
measurement and real time statistics which allow the user to fully understand
the performance of the transport network. |
|
Provide flexible infrastructure and
tools which allow users to make, or signal for, service level changes to
their individual Layer 2 paths, dramatically reducing provisioning delays
while making more efficient use of the network. |
|
Refine these services, over time, to
meet the specific needs of the research community; even where those
developments would differ from what a standard service provider would be
willing to do. |
|
|
NLR L2 Initial Services
|
|
|
|
|
National Peering Fabric – Create a
national distributed exchange point, with a single broadcast domain for all
members. Initial user ports will be 1GE. |
|
|
|
Dedicated Point to Point Ethernet –
VLAN between 2 members with dedicated bandwidth from sub 1G to multiple 1G. |
|
|
|
Best Effort Point to Multipoint –
Multi-point VLAN with no dedicated bandwidth |

NLR Layer 3 Goals
|
|
|
Create a national infrastructure for
network and application experiments, in a way that is not possible with
current production commodity networks, network test-beds, or production
R&E networks. |
|
Provide an advanced national
“breakable” infrastructure to try out technologies and configurations. In addition, researchers will have the
opportunity to create experiments and test them using live production traffic
in a national backbone provider footprint. |
|
Provide a flexible layer 3 network
supporting experiments for anything from requiring total control of the
hardware to requiring access to active real-time production traffic. |
|
Support researchers with a level of
communication and visibility to its users not seen before in other networks. |
|
|
NLR Layer 3 Services
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BGP to each member |
|
ISIS core IGP |
|
IPv4 Multicast: PIM, MSDP, MBGP by
default. |
|
IPv6:
BGP peering by default |
|
Security: Each member will be able to black-hole
traffic to one of their hosts using special BGP community |
|
Each member gets a 10GE connection and
a VLAN backhauled over the L2 network to a second node. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preliminary pricing
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pricing is based on a per segment cost. |
|
The pricing model includes the number
of segments as well as capacity replacement, maintenance, operations and
equipment replacement costs. There are pricing models for members as well as
non-members. One example: |
|
1gb circuit from Chicago to Washington
DC would use three L1 segments and three L2 segments. This would cost
approximately $23,500 upfront and $20,940/year. |
