What’s NLR
• NLR is a major initiative of U.S. research universities and private sector technology companies to provide a national scale infrastructure for research and experimentation in networking technologies and applications.
• NLR aims to catalyze innovative research and development into next generation network technologies, protocols, services and applications.
• NLR puts the control, the power and the promise of experimental network infrastructure in the hands of our nation’s scientists and researchers.

What the heck does that mean?• NLR has purchased our own fiber across US
& are lighting ourselves with Cisco optronics• Infrastructure to support multiple networks
– to support different types of research & experimentation – application level & networking level.
• 32+ 10 Gbps lambdas, supporting (to start): – Nationwide NLR IP network– Nationwide NLR Switched GigE network– Internet2 Hybrid Packet Optical Infrastructure– Plus needs of members and R&E community
• Lambda = λ – (greek letter) symbol for wavelength (color)– On NLR each wavelength of light carries 10 Gbps

Have 10 Gig lambdas in use already
• 3 OC-192s from Pittsburgh to Chicago/Starlight supporting PSCs connection to Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF / Teragrid).
• 10GE from Seattle to Los Angeles – extending the Pacific Wave Peering point to Los Angeles.
• Coming up very soon: 10GE from Atlanta-Chicago for Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) /ETF connection

How to get capacity from NLR?• Work with the NLR member in your state or region
– National scale? – come to NLR directly• Lambdas: 10 GigE LAN PHY (or OC192)
– Point-to-point dedicated 10 Gig bandwidth, unprotected– “Production” (non-breakable) service– Pricing model is based first on “incremental” cost, to provide low
cost lambdas for research & education.• Switched GigE – 1 GigE dedicated capacity• Experimental IP backbone
– NLR members each get 10 Gig port– Experiments/Research via NLR research committees/allocation
groups.• Do come to NLR with your needs and ideas – we are
building this infrastructure to support R&E
