Community Design Workshop- First Day Summary, Issues Rick Summerhill, Director Network Research, Architecture, and Technologies Internet2 Community Design Workshop 15, 16 June 2006 Indianapolis, IN
Outline • Circuit availability and provisioning • Circuit price schedule • Commodity Internet Services • Network Usage Policy • Focus, Focus, Focus!
Circuit Availability and Provisioning • Waves • Infinera Equipment allows for rapid provisioning of circuits - only needs deployment of end-point Interfaces • Internet2 will keep spare interfaces installed in all nodes • When 8 waves are deployed, next set of ten will be installed on segments and nodes • Any (first) wave will be provisioned within hours • Sub-channel circuits • Won’t require full control plane deployment at the start, either by RONs or campuses • Can be configured by hand (within hours) from the start
Circuit Price Schedule • Internet2 can’t get too far out in front of its advisory boards on this, but … • Needs clarification as soon as possible • Will be published on a web page • Costs to deploy waves and circuits: • Incremental costs to deploy a wave are minimal, under $15,000 - just need the endpoint interfaces • However, lots of infrastructure must have already been put in place, with associated costs. • Because of the density of Infinera system, costs are roughly on a distance basis, so a simple per mile charge is likely
Commodity Internet Services • Probably most contentious issue • Needs to be unbundled from standard connection service and fee • Delay till there is better understand of the consequences • Form a working group on commodity services
Network Usage Policy • Minimal CoU needs to be developed as soon as possible • Internet2 believes the carrier conditions on the CoU are sufficiently flexible to encourage and allow liberal use of the network • However, there are edge cases that some are concerned about • Maybe of function of participation structure and not CoU • NPPAC and Board review and approval
Focus, Focus, Focus • Focus should be on the build-out of the network and transition from Abilene to the new network as quickly as possible • Put new and expanded services in the background, under working groups as necessary • Focus! :)
