TransLight/StarLight
Tom DeFanti (Principal Investigator)
Maxine Brown (Co-Principal Investigator)
IRNC Award SCI-0441094
• In cooperation with US and European
national research and education networks,
TransLight/StarLight will implement a
strategy to best serve established
production science
• TransLight/StarLight will support usage by
those scientists, engineers and educators
who have persistent large-flow, real-time,
and/or other advanced application
requirements
Scope of Work
• Procure and maintain (minimally) one OC-192 circuit that connects
UCAID’s Abilene network in New York City (NYC) to TERENA’s
GÉANT L3 network in Amsterdam.
• Evaluate feasibility of a second OC-192 for L1/L2 production
services for high-flow data/collaboration-intensive applications.
• Ensure that appropriate traffic monitoring, measurement and
analysis are accomplished through NSF-designated partners.
• Provide related management, documentation, engineering support
and education and outreach efforts, and attend relevant networking
and/or discipline science meetings and conferences.
• Promote and support availability to the advanced science,
engineering and education communities who require ongoing
transatlantic production services.
