NLR – National LambdaRail

National LambdaRail aims to build a national network infrastructure facilitating network research and next-gen applications in various disciplines. Strategies include promoting collaborations and providing advanced networking capabilities. The infrastructure offers shared or dedicated facilities for experimental and production networks. The network includes facilities like MetaPoPs for primary and secondary connections, with a focus on providing high-bandwidth, breakable network solutions through advanced technologies.

  1. NLR – National LambdaRail CAN2004 November 29, 2004 Tom West

  2. KEYSTONE NLR GOAL Create a national networking physical infrastructure to foster the concurrent advancement of: • Network research and • Next generation network-based applications in science, engineering, medicine and other disciplines by enabling the implementation of multiple networks, both experimental and production, to facilitate technology innovation and discovery and sharing of new knowledge

  3. NLR Strategies • Promote multidisciplinary/cross organizational collaborations • Support and facilitate experimental networking research projects at all layers • Provide new advanced production networking capabilities

  4. Two Drivers for NLR • I need more bandwidth for research! • High-end science needs Terabits • Predictable quality interconnect • Immersive presence and the “bit rate of reality, 40Gbps” Tom Holman (USC) • I need a breakable network for research! • New protocols • New devices • New architectures

  5. NLR Infrastructure • Not a single network but a set of facilities, capabilities and services to build both experimental and production networks at various layers, allowing members to acquire dedicated (project specific) facilities or shared (community specific) facilities as appropriate. Most of the focus so far has been on the massive production DWDM network build out but that would change soon to focus on building the experimental networks
