Abstract:

This paper gives a brief report on a new 100-Gbps academic backbone network, called SINET5, which started full-scale operations in April 2016. SINET5 has more than 50 backbone routers and forms a fully meshed topology by using MPLS-TP systems to provide researchers in every Japanese prefecture with 100-Gbps access, minimized-latency, and SDN-friendly environments. SINET5 gives a multi-layer, dynamically configurable, and performance-tunable platform for a wide range of network applications including inter-cloud services. The multi-layer network design, new functions including SDN and cloud-oriented functions, and field test results on performance and reliability are reported.
