  1. FRGP Update Marla Meehl, NCAR

  2. Review and update topic list • Summit • Western Region Networking (WRN) • Stimulus • Internet2 Membership Model

  3. Summit • Goal: establish a lightweight, nimble collaborative overlay above the Front Range GigaPoP (FRGP) and the Utah Education Network (UEN) for managing regional connectivity (including peering) and potentially other related regional IT projects • Initial members: FRGP and UEN • Lightweight MoU with process open to other aggregating members over time

  4. Summit status – June 2009 (complete and in progress for FY2010) • Cooperative of Front Range Gigapop (FRGP) and Utah Education Network (UEN) to support advanced networking in Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming • Connecting FRGP, Idaho Regional Optical Network (IRON), Idaho State University, and UEN • Bottom line savings • FY09 budget: $1.13M • FY10 budget: $863k (‘Scenario B’) • Overall reduction of 24% • Maintain regional geographic balance and diversity – NLR node in Denver and Internet2 node in Salt Lake City

  5. Summit governance • Policy Oversight Committee (SPOC) • Pat Burns, CSU & Steve Hess, Utah (co-chairs); Steve Corbató, Utah, Randy Gaines, ISU; Marla Meehl, NCAR; David Wood, UC-Boulder • Technical Operations Committee (STOC) • Steve Corbató, Utah & Marla Meehl, NCAR (co-chairs); Barry Bryson, UEN; Alex Hsia, NOAA-Boulder; Kevin Quire, UEN; Greg Redder, CSU, Pete Siemsen, NCAR; Jim Stewart, UEN

  6. Summit status – June 2009 (complete and in progress for FY10) • Services • Advanced IP connectivity • Internet2 – 10 Gbps – Salt Lake City • NLR – 10G – Denver • 10G wavelengths for transport • Two Denver-Salt Lake City • 1 production – Internet2 • 1 potentially for experiment/research – NLR • One Boise-Salt Lake City • Production in support of IRON – Internet2 • Internet2 Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN) connectivity • 2.5G – Denver (in support of Northrop Grumman) • NLR FrameNet connectivity (Denver)

  7. Summit status – June 2009 (complete and in progress for FY10) • Internet2 GENI network research support • Flux Research Group, School of Computing, University of Utah • Internet2 K-20 Network Sponsored Education Group Participant (SEGP) Program • Colorado • Idaho • Utah • FRGP R&E Network Member effective July 1 • Two seats at Internet2 connector ‘table’ • Commodity peering services • Internet2 CPS – Salt Lake City • TransitRail - Denver

  8. Western Region Networking (WRN) • A parallel discussion going on regarding possibility of a larger Western affinity group • An opportunity to improve network service for “the West”: • Arizona • California • Colorado • Idaho • New Mexico • Utah • Washington • Wyoming

  9. WRN • Intra-region peering • NLR and Internet2 services • Back each other up (provide diverse layer 2 and 3 if on-net failures) • Efficient and cost-effective commodity and Transit Rail (TR) and Commercial Peering Service (CPS) connections

  10. WRN - Objectives • Continue to be involved in NLR and I2 and influence their direction • Cost savings across WRN through resource sharing • Shared governance • Robustness, reliability, redundancy • Improved regional connections including primary and back-up I2, NLR, etc. • Improved national peering services from TransitRail and I2 CPS • Enables shared commodity amongst WRN • Improved purchasing options, e.g. single entity purchasing, back-up port fees • Improved multi-state network in support of Research & Education and economic development

  11. WRN - Objectives • Agree to WRN concept of resource sharing • Endorsed conceptual WRN engineering design that enables WRN members to share resources • Endorsed funding model: recurring and non-recurring • Year 1 • Year 2 • Execute Agreement

  12. Stimulus • FRGP NSF ARI for BiSON upgrade – LoI • FRGP NTIA BTOP for BiSON fiber build • Wyoming EPSCoR for BiSON

  13. Discussion / wrap-up Questions?
