hi sepp, this might be of interest to our audience?

[Over the past several weeks there has been a lot of exciting
developments in the R&E network community at the Spring Internet 2
meeting and more recently at the Terena meeting in Prague about new
Internet architectures built around GOLEs – GLIF Open Lightpath
Exchanges. There is a growing consensus amongst most of the major R&E
networks that we need to move away from traditional hierarchical
networks to GOLEs enabling the direct peering of networks,
institutions and/or researchers. This is primarily being driven by the
data demands of global collaborative research. GOLEs enable a policy
free interconnection with no bandwidth constraints or blocking between
the connecting parties and therefore research is not constrained by
policy or bandwidth issues as on traditional networks. GOLEs are also
important for the R&E networks in the new research intensive nations
like Brazil, China, South Africa, Korea, etc. In the future networks
and researchers of these nations will be far less dependent on having
to transit intermediary networks by peering directly with networks or
institutions in designated host nations. The CANARIE UCLP (User
Controlled LightPaths) and more recently Internet 2’s OS3E service
are intended to allow institutions, or even researchers to establish
their own private networks for specific VOs or communities of interest
who can interconnect at these GOLEs.

There is no question that GOLEs are going to challenge traditional
business models for R&E networking, but the first priority must be to
enable the needs of the researchers themselves in the exponential
growth of data driven science. Here are 2 excellent slide
presentations explaining this explosion of data driven science and why
we need GOLES – BSA]
