  2. Background • The idea was partly based on two existing networks: • RMDCN. • British Telecom (BT) Frame Relay links between Melbourne-Singapore-Jakarta

  3. The RMDCN • Virtual Private Network based on Frame Relay PVCs • Guaranteed bandwidth ( CIR ) • Ability to take advantage of unused network capacity ( EIR ) • PVC costs are in function of the CIR and the location of the end-points • No limit to the number of Sites that can be connected • No limit to the number of PVCs that can be established • TCP/IP is used as a transport protocol • Fully managed Cisco routers • Connection via a PTT access line to the in-country POP • Backup service ( ISDN, PSTN, dual access line )

  4. Phases • implementation of the Improved MTN project should be a progression. In its first stage (Phase I), there would be a mix of “clouds” and existing point-to-point links. • Phase I should therefore evolve quickly towards Phase II in which all the MTN links would be provided via a small number of “clouds” or Managed networks – e.g. frame relay.

  8. Why a managed Network? • Potential advantages include: • Cost-effectiveness compared to dedicated leased lines. Also economy of scale likely to result in significant discounts. • Burst capability – ideal for timely receipt of large volume of data for a short period of the day (eg model data) • Ability to increase link capacity easily and quickly – no need to order new line. • Ability to add additional links quickly and cheaply. • High availability – option to have fully managed service and ISDN backup

  9. MOU key to flexibility • Drafting a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among the centres • ·Responsibilities of each centre; • ·Method of procurement of the service; • ·Funding of the various stages; • ·On-going coordination and management of the relationship with the supplier; • ·Procedure for adding another centre to the cloud, etc.

  12. Melbourne – Tokyo – Washington – Bracknell network • Quotes were sought from leading providers for this network – Worldcomm, Sprint, BT. Also a quote was sought from Equant under the RMDCN contract. •  At this time (September 2002) at appears that this network will be a service from BT for 3 years • Unsymetric PVCs
