» Guess the unit
» Mbytes/day

Addressing schemes
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Trends in education and research
Uptake of Cloud services
» 56% of institutions (HE and FE) using public Cloud for email
» Office 365 use increasing
» 69% of institutions (HE and FE) are/have plans to adopt Cloud services for
business applications
» Direct peerings with Google andAmazon building steadily
» Continuing trend of moving education systems and library management systems
to the Cloud
» Off-site datacentre use
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Adoption of other business models
» An increasing culture of change and innovation in HE and FE
» Increasing cross institution collaboration
» A growing focus on personalised learning, driving the gathering and analysis of
large amounts of data
» A proliferation of open educational resources
» Redesigning learning and library spaces incorporating the use of technology
» Streaming and video capture of lectures, and increased online interaction
between students and teaching staff both on and off campus
» Media rich creation and delivery of coursework
» Growth of satellite campuses both nationally and internationally
» Increasing university and business collaboration
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Student experience
» Increasing the broader student experience has become a significant
differentiator
» Provision of pervasive & high quality wi-fi & support for BYOMD
› Supporting student learning and entertainment requirements
2/03/2016 Network Futures
A case study: University X
University X : A teaching university that has ssen a 30% annual growth rate on
its network. Factors are:
» Increased use of rich media, particularly video in teaching
› Sports science uses a lot of HD video
› Most video is streamed from external services such as youtube
» Increased use ofWireless
› Ever more powerful devices holding increasingly large amounts of storage
› Increased video consumption
› Devices auto-synchronising with Cloud services
2/03/2016 Network Futures
A case study: University X
» Move to the Cloud
› A move to Office365 was completed nearly 2 years ago
› Migrating content storage to Microsoft’sOneDrive
» Campus traffic to it’s on-site datacentre is around 10x that of traffic to and from
Janet (3Gbit/s vs 300Mbit/s)
» If most services migrated to the Cloud then traffic to Janet would grow tenfold
2/03/2016 Network Futures

research community
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Cern LHC: Atlas Experiment
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Higgs to four muon candidate event
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Radio Astronomy
» Radio waves much longer than light
waves
» Even large Radio telescopes have
much lower resolution than optical
telescopes
› eg moon looks 3 x 3 pixels to a
single telescope
» BUT – Linking widely spaced
telescopes together recovers the
resolution
» Combine signals from telescopes in
real time
› Long Baseline Interferometry
› Very weak signals – poor signal to
noise
› Signal averaging and correlation
› Telescope radio signal = signal
from source + random noise
› Needs very accurate timing
» High data rates – 1 to 30Gbit/s
2/03/2016 Network Futures
» Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI) network
» Real-time signal correlation
» Forms a more powerful “single”
telescope
» Better science
2/03/2016 Network Futures
LOFAR
2/03/2016 Network Futures
LOPFAR Network
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Towards the Square Kilometer Array
» Science interest
» Evolution of stars and galaxies after
“big bang”
» Early universe – “dark ages”
» Gravity and cosmic magnetism
» Dark matter – dark energy
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Super HighVision – High resolution media
» BBC trial with NHK for 2012 Olympics
» Janet and other NRENs transmit signals over their networks
» ~300Mbit/s per stream compressed
» Super High-Vision is:
› 16 times as many pixels as HDTV
› 7680 by 4320 pixels
› 22.2 channel sound
› 8m wide screen
› Amazing!
› Immersive

Broader drivers and key requirements summary
The Internet ofThings
» Network of physical objects
» Collect and exchange data
» Improved efficiency, accuracy and
economic benefit
› Smart grids
› Smart buildings
› Intelligent transport
› Smart cities
2/03/2016 Network Futures
Requirements going into the future
The requirements boil down to:
» Reliability
» Scalability
» Flexibility
» Security
» Reachability
