  1. The Use of Videoconferencing and Webcasting at the Fundação para Computação Cientifica Nacional Rui Ribeiro(racr@fccn.pt) Fundação para Computação Científica Nacional Foundation for National Scientific Computing

  2. Summary • Brief FCCN History • The Research Network • International Projects / Participation • WebCast • Videoconferencing • Projects for 2004

  3. Brief FCCN History • Founded 1987 • “Big Computer” & Terminal Network • Universities / R&D Institutions • Increase in network bandwidth / Internet Boom • The need for new services • First experiments with WebCast – 1996 • First H.323 terminals – 1999 • WG-Multimedia – 2002

  4. Portuguese K-12 • Access Equipment – Router + PC • ISDN – 2 Channels (1997) • Manages > 10000 ISDN connections • Helpline - Callcentre • Broadband Upgrade towards ADSL/PowerLine • Central Services Node • Performance / Security

  5. Higher Education and Research Labs Network • Network Management • Router Management • ~100 Members • International Link: Géant • Portuguese Internet Exchange: GigaPix • Advanced Services: QoS, Multicast, IPv6

  6. IPv6 • IPv6 interconnected members • Native Connectivity through Géant • Portuguese IPv6 Task-Force • European IPv6 Task-Force • 6NET Project

  7. International Projects • TERENA - TF-Netcast • VRVS • Opera Oberta • CERT.PT // TERENA TF-CSIRT • TF-NGN • 6Net • Cantino Connection / H.323 Testing

  8. WebCast • MBone experiments (vic/rat) • First experiments with Microsoft Netshow (1996) • Some experiments with Real (2000 – 2002) • Some experiments with Darwin (2002 – 2003) • MS WM “officially” adopted • Affordable, usable API, browser integration • Linux Integration?

  9. WebCast Service at FCCN • Initial Contact • Form submission • Site survey • Testing (4 to 15 days before WebCast) • Audio/Video presencial support • Audio/Video equipment lending (Digital Camera(s), Digital Recorder, Lights, Sound, Video Mixing Table)

  10. WebCast Service at FCCN • Encoder System (presencial support) • IP conectivity / troubleshooting • Broadcast Server configuration (Unicast / Multicast / IPv6) • Webpage construction (PPT Sinc, FormMail for on-line questions) • Log Analysis

  11. WebCast Service at FCCN • Future developlements • WebService Integration • VOD / Session Portal Integration (TF-Netcast?) • DRM • Easy to use! • A lot more “marketing”

  12. Videoconferencing • 1999 – First Terminals & MCU • 2000 – Used internally • 2002 – Wish to make a network service • 2004 – VC Studios • Meanwhile: H.323 know-how (firewall, NAT, ...), more terminals, more bandwidth, more international integration, more information to the universities, low-bandwidth testing, international testing (FCCN/RNP), terminal testing, more documentation, new MCU.

  13. VC Studios • H.323 Based • High quality systems / environment • Prepared Rooms • QoS • Multipurpose • Videoconferencing • E-Learning oriented (Webcast, Video Archive) • Case studies • Welsh Video Network • Access Grid

  14. VC Studios • Webcast Ready • PC System will broadcast and provide the tools for PPT/APP sinc and Video archiving • Web Managed Resources • Phisical Rooms • Virtual Rooms (MCU) • Control? • AAA • Usage Metrics (On-line reporting)

  15. Conclusion • Technical Organization • Member of: • TERENA – National Representative • RIPE – Local Internet Registry • DANTE – National Representative • IPv6 Forum – Member • EURO-IX – Foundation Member • Extensive Know-how (WAN, Multicast, IPv6, WiFi, CERT, Broadband Services)
