GN2 Project • Commission contribution 93 M€ • Proposal submission 2 October 2003 • Evaluation • Negotiations March 2004 • Start ~ September 2004 • New GN2 network 1Q 2005
Objectives of the GN2 NGN • Provide IP connectivity for NRENs - yearly growth 2x to 3x • Provide high bandwidth for special appl. • Provide services for GRIDs • Establish customer empowered networks • Responsive to the expectations of the community
Backbone with traditional users Backbone with traditional users NREN 1 GE Geant-2 GRID User IP GE 2x10 Gbit/s VPN IP NREN 2 4 x 10Gbit/s l IP IP 4 x 10Gbit/s l GE 2x10 Gbit/s VPN IP GE GRID User
New Paradigm • GÉANT - emphasis on core network • NREN connecting to PoPs • Change in the basic approach • End-to-End QoS • Whole “chain” • Responsibility of the whole community • Close co-operation
Technology Investigation of Transmission Costs Skepticism re 40 Gbps Interfacing Costs OEO cross connects interesting “All Optical” some way off Emphasis on AAA and Control issues
Support for European VLBI Radio Telescope Correlator Data Flows (RT or non-RT)

Activities • Networking (human) • Management • Public relations • Events and conferences • RTD support • NREN developments and support • Foresight study (SERENATE 2)
Service activities • Procurement and Cost Sharing • Network Operations and basic Services • End to End Quality of Service • Connectivity to other World Regions
Joint research activities • Performance Measurement and Management • Security • New Service Development • Test-Beds • Ubiquity (Mobility) and Roaming Access to Services
Procurement process started • Evaluation committee 5 + 4 • Offers due 4 March • Difficult task - “we do not know, what are we buying” • Work should be finished by September • Changeover in early 2005
The Overall Challenges • How will Cost Sharing Develop? • What is the Correct Architecture? • Will GRIDS and Networking Converge on Technical Solutions?
Conclusion • Exciting • Technology path still not finalised • Large performance increase • Closer to the end user • Joint exercise
