What is BCNET
April 2008April 2008 BCNET 2008 Advanced Networks ConferenceBCNET 2008 Advanced Networks Conference
Builds high-performance, networks for BC higher education and research
Operates BC’s R&E Network (ORAN)
Maintain leading network technology for R&E
Not-for-profit, funded by members, federal & provincial government
Why Research networks
April 2008April 2008 BCNET 2008 Advanced Networks ConferenceBCNET 2008 Advanced Networks Conference
Research networks are often the first ISP in the region – BCNET was the birthplace of the Internet in British Columbia
Research networks still have a pioneers role in the Internet community– Typical early adapters (students and researchers)– First to deploy new technologies– Help develop new ideas and technologies
Why Research networks
April 2008April 2008 BCNET 2008 Advanced Networks ConferenceBCNET 2008 Advanced Networks Conference
1. Deliver services which are hard / impossible to get via Commercial providers– IPv6– Multicast– Lightpaths– High speed connection for reasonable price
2. Enables Innovation
– High-performance networks provide the speed, bandwidth, data transport capabilities & flexibility for experimental research at performance up to 10,000 X faster than the commercial internet
BCNET services

Point to point Full mesh
Transit exchange
April 2008April 2008 BCNET 2008 Advanced Networks ConferenceBCNET 2008 Advanced Networks Conference
Facility to meet and exchange traffic– Local business – ISP’s– Communities
Keep local traffic local
Stimulates further development of the Internet
Cheaper transit costs
Example projectsWestgrid– Connecting high performance computing clusters
UBC MedSchool– Enable distance learning
ATLAS Experiment– Triumph is TIER1 site in LHC project– 10Gb/s lightpaths

Technologies usedProvince-wide optical infrastructure
Based on 1400+ km of BCNET / Canarie, Bell owned managed dark fiber.
Nortel DWDM / ROADM equipment
72 wavelengths at 50Ghz spacing
10 Gb/s per wavelength,
Potential growth to 40Gbs, 100Gbs per lambda

Some numbers oran networkThe network spans around 1400KM from Seattle to Calgary. 72x10Gb/s = 720gb/s = 90Giga Byte/sec (19)72x40Gb/s = 2.88Tb/s = 360Giga Byte/sec (76)72x100Gb/s = 7.2Tb/s = 900Giga Byte/sec (191)
Equivalent of (19 or 76 or 191) DVD downloads per second from Calgary to Seattle!
Ready for the future!
