All,
The current GLIF map is almost
two years old, and very outdated, so it is time to update! The GLIF 2005 World
Map can be downloaded from:
The new GLIF map will illustrate GLIF lambda resources; i.e.,
high-capacity optical circuits (or lightpath virtual circuits) that terminate
at GOLEs (GLIF Open Lightpath Exchanges). The network resources that make
up the GLIF are provided by a number of independent optical domain network
operators working together to enable quick and easy provisioning of end-to-end
lightpaths. These resources are made available for use by global
collaboratories of discipline scientists and computer scientists and engineers
for application and middleware development. The GLIF map illustrates capacity
available *in addition to* bandwidth required for production
purposes.
Send information about link(s) that you control that qualify as a
GLIF network resource. At the bottom of this email is the input I
collected two years ago. Note, however, that the list below contains both
routed and lightpath availability; however, the technology has now evolved
enough that we want to showcase lightpath availability only. Review this
list and provide additions, corrections and/or comments. I expect many more
links in Asia and Europe this time around.
The new GLIF map will
illustrate GLIF resources that you plan to have in place by September 2007.
Send the following information to Maxine Brown <maxine@xxxxxxx>.
(a) network name(s)
(b) contact person(s)
(c) source city; destination city; relevant
intermediate cities
(d) amount of bandwidth
(e) network map(s) (optional) that illustrate your
network(s) and connection points, which will prove helpful as we build the
GLIF world map
Submit your information no later than JUNE
29 so we can begin.
Our goal is to send out a DRAFT for your review in July, finalize it in
August, and have it ready for distribution at the annual GLIF meeting in
September in Prague <
http://www.glif.is/meetings/>.
Thanks for your prompt response,
Maxine
