  1. IMTN and managed data network services Hiroyuki ICHIJO (Japan Meteorological Agency Technical Conference on the WIS(Seoul, 6-8 November 2006)

  2. MTN configuration The Main Telecommunication Network (MTN) interconnects 6 Regional Meteorological Telecommunication Networks (RMTNs) as a core of the GTS. The MTN consists of 18 MTN Centres and 25 connections. Region VI Region II Region IV Region I Region III Region V

  5. Concepts of IMTN The CBS, at its 1998 extra-ordinary session, stressed that the MTN shall be reviewed fundamentally to meet evolving data exchange requirements of WMO Programmes other than the WWW. The IMTN project has been promoting the reform of the MTN capability as a genuine network since its commencement in 1999. Reform concepts are: (1) to provide capability and flexibility to meet new and future requirements by using technical innovation; (2) to seek cost-effectiveness with appropriate reliability and security; (3) to challenge establishment of a collaborative contractual framework; (4) to keep up with an appropriate pace for implementation, i.e. “early implementation leads early benefits.” A point of implementation strategy is the evolution from bilateral physical circuits to logical connections through seamless network “cloud”.

  6. Cloud I Tokyo Beijing Washington Melbourne Sofia Moscow New Delhi Prague Brasilia Exeter Buenos Aires Jeddah Offenbach Cloud II Nairobi Toulouse Cairo Dakar Algiers Status of the IMTN project The current IMTN is structured with two “clouds” of Frame Relay network services. • 17 of 25 MTN circuits are in operation on the Clouds. • 12 of 18 MTN centers participate in the Clouds.

  7. Details of Cloud I • Logical connections (PVC: Permanent Virtual Circuit) through BT Frame Relay network • Configuration of asymmetric bandwidths by CIR (Committed Information Rate) for unbalanced traffic conditions • Arrangement of backup re-routing with a dynamic routing protocol (BGP-4) Washington 1.5Mbps 32k Accesscircuit 1.5Mbps 32k 16k 4k 32k 768k BT Frame Relay 16k Exeter Tokyo 32k 64k 256kbps 4k 16k 32k 64k 16k 32k Primary PVC 16k 256kbps 256kbps BoM Backup PVC CIR in each direction [bps] Disaster Recovery SiteBrisbane Melbourne

  12. Benefits of IMTN The implementation of the IMTN brings various benefits: (1) further reliability  stable operation for real-time data exchange (2) better performance in throughput  exchange of large volume of data such as satellite data/products (3) manageable link parameters  efficient configuration to meet traffic conditions (4) flexibility and scalability  easy compliance with evolving requirements (5) cost-effectiveness  saving recurrent costs

  13. Migration from leased circuit, ATM and Frame Relay services to MPLS/IP-VPN (Multi Protocol Label Switching/IP-Virtual Private Network)is remarkable. • Layer 2 switching VPN is one of next-generation WAN services but premature in market. Market trends of global managed data network services Retail scale of global WAN services Estimation

  14. Market leaders : Equant (OBS at present), AT&T and BT/BT Infonet • Their strategies: • Extending service coverage by establishing new MPLS PoPs (Points of Presence) • Bilateral partnerships with national and regional telecom carriers for MPLS interoperability outside of their footprints • Fast-growth markets : Asia and Eastern Europe Market share of Tier-1 global network operators Global WAN service share (2nd quarter of 2005)

  15. IP IP MPLS/IP-VPN is one of most promising WAN services. MPLS/IP-VPN VPN group IP Label IP Label Core Router CE Closed IP network by a provider PE CE PE VPN group CE Core Router Core Router PE CE Provider’s PEs and Core Routers based on MPLS have Label Tables and switch IP packets forward according to the Tables.

  16. GTS IMTN WIS core network Frame Relay MPLS/IP-VPN Cloud I Early 2007 End of 2007 MPLS/IP-VPN Frame Relay Cloud II Study of possibility of consolidation of two Clouds Coordination Future of IMTN • For further improvement, migration from Frame Relay to MPLS/IP-VPN is planned. MPLS/IP-VPN service provides: • flexibility of mesh connectivity among GISCs • additional bandwidth. The IMTN would function as a WIS core network linking a small number of GISCs together.
