  1. Proposed Videoconference SAPlans for Year 4 plus 6 Months (M37 to M54) Lajos Bálint, András Kovács (NIIF/HUNGARNET) 4th GÉANT2 Technical Workshop Cambridge, 6 June 2007

  2. Present Problems • No coordination between NREN VC support groups: • Slow problem identification and resolution • Bad user experience • Lack of common monitoring tools: • Interdomain facilities not monitored at all (SLA? Stability?) • GDS has been very unstable recently • Difficult to find contact points for remote endpoints: • Seeking new partnerships (?) • Difficult to organise a multi-party conference • Volunteered multipoint resources for international meetings: • Ad-hoc, without any guarantees • No MCU/VC service in many countries (“digital divide”)

  3. Background and synergy • European VC service history: • Has been subject of discussions since 2002-2003 • Technical and organisational complexity • Failed to agree on technical content for GN2 Y3 • Recent activities (TERENA TF-VSS) → proposal • Recognised synergies: • GN2 monitoring services (PerfSONAR) • GN2 EduGAIN AAI • TF-VSS and TF-ECS cooperation • Related NREN activities/projects ← to be harmonised

  4. Goals I. • Establish coordination between NREN support groups: • Connect/Communicate/Collaborate  • Mailing list • Common trouble ticketing system • Improve end-user experience • Deployment of common monitoring/managementtools: • IP reachability of critical equipment (national gatekeepers, MCU, …) • Network performance (PerfSONAR) • Continuous monitoring of interdomain VC services: • Country reachability matrix (GDS/ENUM) • Deployment of test facilities: test numbers, audio/video echo services

  5. Goals II. • Pan-European Videoconference Service website: • NREN support group contact points database • Monitoring/statistics tools • Federated directory of European VC endpoints • Multipoint VC resource scheduling interface • Knowledge base wiki • Central multipoint VC (MCU) resource: optional • Support European/international projects’ collaboration • Support countries without national VC services • Serving as a GN2 central multipoint server • Required budget: 200kEuro

  6. Structure

  7. Effort & Resources • Required: • ~40MM (~3.33MY) • 200kEuro (for central VC equipment – optional) • NREN contributions: • Positive feedback (TERENA TAC & GA) • Manpower offers needed ASAP • To do: • Decision on starting an SA • Decision on central resources • Provide your feedback/ideas • Further discussion on technical content • Finalise the proposal

  8. More information • Y4 planning discussions
