Linking the world with light
• GLIF: Global Lambda Integrated Facility
• Open light pad exchange:§ Optical networks are the central architectural element
in support of this decade’s most demanding e-science applications
§ Research should not have any geographical boundaries
§ Hybrid networks are the next generation networks:- Packet-switched Internet for regular many-to-
many usage.- Dedicated light paths for guaranteed high-speed
few-to-few usage.
