Provide full domestic support for AARNET’s two 10Gbps circuits from Australia to Hawaii (including Mauna Kea) to the West CoastAssist the Pacific Wave distributed exchange in supporting the numerous additional international R&E circuits that terminate at West Coast locationsCoordinate with IRNC partners to ensure network availability and availability of new services as needed and funded, including standardized network monitoring infrastructure and dynamic circuit servicesInstall and maintain new international links, including emerging links from Pacific Islands, and bandwidth upgrades to existing links as funding and feasibility permit

Pacific Wave: Flexible International Connectivity

Pacific Wave is a joint project between CENIC and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWGP)PWave pioneered a novel architecture, an open distributed exchangeParticipants at any PWave connection point (LA, Sunnyvale, Seattle) can interconnect in multiple transparent ways of their own choosing

PerfSonar Deployment

• Still preliminary with active nodes in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth

• Members of the AARNet and TLPW communities

• Mainly for throughput testing at moment, but latency servers will be deployed once issue of clocksync resolved

• Currently 1Gbps connected

• Issues with clocksync – no CDMA in Australia – so GPS required – that can be a big issue with high rise based PoPs – the equipment is in the basement!

CAIDA co-operation• CAIDA Archiplego Project (ARK)

• http://www.caida.org/projects/ark/

• Large-scale traceroute-based topology measurements

• Measurement (IPv4/IPv6) nodes in Sydney and soon Perth

• IPv6 Day June 8th 2011• http://v6day.ripe.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi
