9 Pacific Wave Experimentation SLIDE 17 - COPYRIGHT 2015 Pacific Wave experimentation is done in a "sandbox" (or parallel infrastructure) so as not to impact the production quality of Pacific Wave. Example of a sandbox environment created to explore new concepts is Pacific Wave s software-defined internet exchange (SDX). Other experiments include the creation of an exchange data transfer node (DTN) to assist with the movement of large data sets internationally (Singapore-Los Angeles), provisioning using the NSI/AutoGole model, and support for the Pacific Research Platform.

The scale and cooperation needed to support such projects continues to evolve and leverage the world s global subsea fibre network. More countries will be able to participate in the open exchange of data to support the planet s research and education challenges. An astronomer needs access to a telescope and an oceanographer needs access to a ship. I'm a climate scientist and I need access to a petaflop computer and a petabyte storage array for my data. AARNet provides me with those services and capabilities wherever I happen to be located in the world and that enables me to do my research Professor Andy Pitman, Director ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Systems Science. Through its relationship with CSIRO and Australian universities, AARNet s contribution to radio astronomy in Australia over the past two decades played an important role in positioning Australia for the SKA. Dr Brian Boyle, Australia/New Zealand SKA Director AARNET's reliable, fast and cost-effective research network has played a significant role in the success of the Australian site to deliver the storage and computing resources to the Large Hadron Collider's ATLAS experiment. Dr Geoffrey Taylor, Director ARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics While Twitter creates 1-17PB per year, Astronomy 1,000 PB/year, YouTube 1,000-2,000 PB/year but Genomics will be 2,000-4,000 PB/year IEEE Spectrum, Genomic Data Growing Faster than Twitter or Youtube 13

15 Pacific Wave SLIDE 29 - COPYRIGHT 2015 Pacific Wave began as first geographically distributed Internet Exchange in 2004, providing interconnections between NRENs and other research and education networks. Pacific Wave is an open exchange supporting both commercial and R&E peers. The exchange current supports 25 participants representing 29 countries. Current activities include Support for 100G port upgrades, including those to Australia, Japan and Canada. a trial for dynamic provisioning for network connections via the AutoGole project. SDX development platform. Pacific Research Platform support. NSF Award IRNC: RXP - Pacific Wave Expansion Supporting SDX & Experimentation PIREN SLIDE 30 - COPYRIGHT 2015 Recent Project goals: Current Activities: Support 2x100Gbps R&E SX-Transport circuits from New Zealand and Australia via Hawaii to U.S. West Coast. Foster research and education (R&E) network capacity to interconnect Pacific Islands with each other and the global R&E network fabric Opportunistically connect Mauna Kea and Haleakala observatories. Efforts are underway to connect Guam to Hawaii at 100G and to create a Guam R&E exchange. Network Training workshop organized by Network Resource Startup Center (NRSC) recently in Guam for Pacific Island networks. Discussions with observatories on future requirements for new instruments. Network measurement activities. NSF IRNC:Backbone SX-TransPORT Pacific Islands Research and Education Network 15
