What & Why of NextGen Optical Networking
• Customer-controlled fiber and/or lambdas• Opportunities for more bandwidth, non-
contention-based bandwidth & and breakable research networks
• Lower marginal costs of expansion by adding lambdas
• Platform for new networking research (connection-oriented) using lambda-switching
• Leverages unique market conditions: availability of fiber and optical equipment

Why Does It All Matter?
• Our researchers need to be full members of all local, regional, national & international communities of interest• For many, this already requires high-performance connectivity from the desktop to the world• (For others, it will soon)

Optical networks for demanding collaborative applications – beyond Internet2• Several applications at MSU that demand high
bandwidth connectivity, low latency, remote computation, real-time visualization:– CCB: Neuroscience application requiring distributed
processing, remote real-time access to multiple, distributed data sets
– Solar Physics: Satellite operations, Virtual Solar Observatory
– Ag Science: Multi-state program involving remote sensing data, visualization
– INRA Subsurface Soil Science PhD program

Start with the campus
• 100Mbps switched to the desktop– More for specialized apps, 10Mbps switched where
necessary and accept its limits
– Drive at least to a fiber-based distribution system
• Multicast required for many apps• Tune key servers & clients!• Wireless for ubiquity & mobility• Bandwidth management where needed

Key Intra-State Networking Strategies
• Technologies– Dark fiber -- where possible– High-speed leased services– Microwave– Emerging & non-emerging wireless approaches– Satellite
• Procurement Approaches– Leverage regulatory capabilities– Buy– Lease– “Partner” with vendors
• Collaborate with: K12? State? Feds? Museums?
Problems are regionally idiosyncratic

Staying Connected!
• National initiatives are moving quickly and often exclude “us”
• We need to learn from what they’re doing and apply lessons where we can
• We need more help both from within and without
Problems are regionally idiosyncratic but national in scope
