STAR TAP and StarLight
• STAR TAP: 5-year-old operational cross-connect of the world's high-performance Production R&E Networks 45-622Mb ATM
• StarLight: optical evolution of STAR TAP connecting and switching/routing – Production Networks at 1Gb – Experimental Networks at 1Gb, 2.5Gb, and 10Gb – Research Networks at 10Gb
• Funded by US NSF CISE ANIR, EIA and ACIR infrastructure grants to UIC, UIUC, NU, and IU
• Enabling and sustaining support by ANL MCS
Who is StarLight?
StarLight is jointly managed and engineered by: • International Center for Advanced Internet Research
(iCAIR), Northwestern University– Joe Mambretti, David Carr, and Tim Ward
• Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL), University of Illinois at Chicago– Tom DeFanti, Maxine Brown, Alan Verlo, Jason Leigh, Cliff
Nelson, and Andy Schmidt
• Mathematics and Computer Science Division (MCS) , Argonne National Laboratory – Linda Winkler, Bill Nickless, and Caren Litvanyi; Rick
Stevens and Charlie Catlett
What/Where is StarLight?
710 N. Lake Shore Drive, ChicagoAbbott Hall, Northwestern UniversityChicago view from 710
StarLight is an experimental optical infrastructure andproving ground for network services optimized forhigh-performance applicationsStarLight Assists $32M (FY2002-3) in experimental networks (I-WIRE, TeraGrid, OMNInet, SURFnet, CA*net4, DataTAG)
StarLight Carriers
• Currently Present:– Ameritech– AT&T– Qwest– Global Crossing– Teleglobe– And I-WIRE Dark Fiber
• More are coming…
StarLight Service Description Today
• StarLight is a Gigabit Ethernet exchange point• Policy-free 802.1q VLANs are created between
peering partners• StarLight benefits connecting networks:
– High-speed peering with large MTU– Available collocation space – Planned 10GigE, other switched services– Several US and international networks connected– Multicast support
StarLight is Now Fully Operational
• StarLight Equipment installed: – Cisco 6509 with lots of GigE ports– Juniper M10 and M5 (with GigE and
OC-12 interfaces)– Cisco LS1010 with OC-12 interfaces– ESnet’s IPv6 Router– Data mining cluster with GigE NICs
• SURFnet’s Cisco 12000 GSR &15454• Multiple vendors for GigE, 10GigE, and
DWDM
