  1. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Gigabit Networking - Is Europe up to it? Hans-Peter Axmann Federal Ministry of Science and Transport, Austria Chairman of ENPGEuropean Group for Policy Co-ordination for Academic and Industrial Research Networking

  2. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • A quick look across the Atlantic: • USA: Abilene • Canada: Ca*net3

  3. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Abilene Network • operational Jan. ´99; • 2.4 Gbps (OC-48); • IP over Sonet, also IP over ATM; • heavy industry involvement http://www.ucaid.edu/abilene/home.htmlhttp://www.internet2.edu/abilene/

  4. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 CA*net3Optical Network • OC-192 (Vancouver - Montreal) • OC-48 (other destinations) http://www.canet2.net/

  5. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • Gigabit Networks in Europe: • German Gigabit Testbeds: GTB-West GTB-Süd/Berlin • Netherlands: GigaPort Project • Other NRENs: announcements 155 Mbps now, evolving to 622 Mbps over time, going up to Gbps eventually

  6. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 DFN - Gigabit Testbeds:a) GTB-West: FZ Jülich - GMD/St. Augustin, - coupling of supercomputer installations; - Aug. `97: 622 Mbps; Aug. `98: 2.5 Gbps; - projects: - distributed virtual TV-production - distributed traffic simulation and visualisation - distributed parallel molecular dynamics apps. b) GTB-Süd/Berlin: number of universities and research institutions primarily in Bavaria and Berlin; - since July `98: 3 x 2.5 Gbps; - great diversity of projects (network technology - video prod. - medical data visualisation - meta computing - distributed learning) http://www.dfn.de/projekte/gigabit/home.html

  7. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • SURFnet - GigaPort Project: • GigaNet: - backbone development started in ´99; - 2.5 Gbps connections to be increased to 80 Gbps by 2002; - customer connections at 155 Mbps in ´99, to be increased to 20 Gbps by end of 2002; • Giga Works: applications in: - 3-dimensional simulation, - tele-cooperation and teleconsultation, - high-speed home-based teleworking and teleteaching, - international teleconsultation and data analysis - E-commerce http://www.surfnet.nl/en/innovation/gigaporthttp://www.gigaport.nl

  9. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • TEN-155: • core running at 155Mbps, spurs at 34/45 Mbps and less; • contract with Unisource Belgium for 3 years: expected end ~ Dec. 2001 (?); • expected upgrade to 622 Mbps until then, vision of Gigabit network afterwards; • cost for 3 year period: 120 Me; • EC funds (QUANTUM project) for 18 months: 20 Me http://www.dante.net/ten-155

  10. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Gigabit Networks in Europe: Would the market deliver? A market review: according to information available on the WEB

  11. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • Ebone • STM-1 ring (140 Mbps)(London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Paris; Frankfurt) • 34 Mbps ring(Paris, Geneva, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid) http://www.ebone.net/structure/backbone.html

  12. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 HermesEuropeRailtelasplanned by End 1999 • SDH at 2.5 Gbps (STM-16); • multiple STM-16 using DWDM; • VC-2/E1 (2 Mbps) to VC-4/E4 (140Mbps) • http://www.her.com

  13. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 HermesEuropeRailtel

  14. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • BT- PEN PanEuropeanNetwork • 45,000 km optical fibre; 200 cities; • operational from March ´99; • SDH and DWDM; 16 channels = 160 Gbps now, 32 channels = 320 Gbps later • http://www.btwwide.com/PEN/

  15. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 KPNQwest EuroRings started in 1998, to be completed in 2001 • 6 bi-directional self-healing rings, • each of 40 Gbps capacity initially http://jv.eu.net/network/index.html

  16. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Gigabit Networking in Europe: So there seems to be a realistic chance to find a supplier, but would we be able to afford it?

  17. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Funding Issues (1): • TEN-155 costs for 3 years: 120 Me i.e. 40 Me/yr • EC contribution (QUANTUM): 20 Me for 18 mths • remaining costs borne by NRENs • Total costs for 18 months: 60 Me EC: 20 Me, NRENs: 40 Me Ratio: 33% : 66% • ENPG suggestion: 40% (EC) : 60% (NRENs) original estimate: 200 Me/4yrs, i.e. 50 Me/yr • EC - 5FP: 161 Me/4yrs

  18. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Policy Issues: • End of EC co-funding would lead to: • fragmentation disintegration - opportunistic behaviour - selfishness - drying up of national funds • regionalisation a ‘multi-speed’ R&E Europe !!

  19. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 Funding Issues (2): • „Gedankenexperiment“: - cost/yr: 40 Me; 13.4 Me (EC), 26.6 Me (NRENs) - assuming 3 years period: ~ 80 Me (NRENs) + 161 Me (EC) = 241 Me ~ 80 Me/yr + additional funds(?) + sponsor money(?) = TEN-GigaBitNetwork (TEN-GBN) ???

  20. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 TEN-GBN Proposal: • mid 2000: - core network at 2.5 Gbps, - spurs at 622 Mbps; • later: - extension of core network to more locations, - addition of more channels, - upgrade of spurs; • Fulfils: - vision expressed in 5FP: - state of the art production network - advanced test-bed • Pooling of all resources needed!

  21. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • Management Issues (1): • Managing organisation: • - employed by National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) • 4-year concept: • - parallel to FP, in cooperation with NRENs • - yearly adjustments • - annual budget plans

  22. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • Management Issues (2): • Funding - NRENs secure their total of 60 % from respective funding bodies, - EC allocates share of 40 % • Report - Annual Status and Progress report presented to NRENs, nat‘l funding organisations, EC • Auditing • - independent auditors check the use of funds

  23. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 The Key Players in Europe • ENPG: co-ordinates strategies of nat’l governments; defines strategic goals; ensures national funds • EC: defines aims in terms of infrastructure measures according FPs; matching funds • TERENA: co-ordination of NRENs • Dante: overall management; liaison to telco-industry • Industry: please come forward!!

  24. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 • Action Plan: • EC to sort out responsibility for Research Networking • call meeting of all involved/interested parties • agree on: - concrete action plan, - co-financing model and - management scheme • URGENT !!!

  25. TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999 "European Research Space" Quality of network services has direct impact on competitiveness of European research and education!
