SuperJANET III • Managed ATM backbone • Core operates at 155 Mbit/s • Service delivery primarily IP • Institutions connect at MANs or PoPs
SuperJANET III • 1.5 - 2 million users • Typical applications 0.5 - 1 Mbit/s • Traffic is London Centric • Contract expires 31st March 2001
Driving force for change • Enrichment of the learning process • Regionalisation of education • Broadening access • Advances in technology • Opening out the network
Future Requirements • SuperJANET4 will connect • 200 HE institutions • 600 FE institutions • Backbone capacity a minimum of 2.5 Gbit/s • National Scope • High capacity to London
Future Requirements • Must support IP • Must allow bandwidth reservation • Some bandwidth partitioning may be required • Will be used to roll out IPV6 Internet2 and other new services • Must evolve
We are interested in • UK wide coverage • Not necessarily from a single supplier • Lit fibre • We’re not a telco
We are interested in • FM arrangements for PoPs • xDSL technology
We are interested in • Off tariff pricing • Solutions not specific technologies • Reliability • Resilience
