Financial model for association of networks - reflections from POL34 consortium NATO Advanced Networking Workshop Academic and Research Networking in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments Piotr Sąsiedzki POL-34 Silesian University of Technology Computer Centre NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Short brief of POL-34 history Structure Financial part (who pays for it, how) PIONIER programme network infrastructure part – new model Agenda NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
POL-34 – Historical background • till 1993 – only NASK as academic provider • 1993 - MANs created • NASK as backbone provider • using incumbent services • NASK runs WARMAN (WARsaw MAN) • MANs own their networks !!!! • 1997 - POL-34 created • backbone based on competitive bandwidth provider • 1999/2000 – PIONIER programme NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Present Topology POL-622? NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
MANs are telecommunication operators own their network (within city/region) where possible use word „client” universities, academies, research institutions are clients clients sign contracts MANs charge for their services Structure -MANs NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Agreement of 22 MAN/Supercomputing centres not a company Network management designated MAN (by contract) nodes owned and managed by MANs Structure – POL34 NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
in total network cost not per link charges based on subsidy (50%), bandwidth (50%) risk sharing common connection to GEANT common peering connections and policies Backbone cost sharing NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Unified equipment (at the backbone layer) / common calls for tenders No direct way of funding additional activities within the network More facts NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Decisions by agreement not by voting !!!! Is it a good model ? hard to meet hard too decide everything is public representation is not clear everyone has voice and vote Decision making it works !!!!!! NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Who pays for it ? • State Committee for Scientific Research • 22 subsidies / 22 budgets – on yearly basis • total cost of present network: 10 mln EURO (est.) • MANs allowed to provide commercial services • to subsidise basic activity • without compromising „mission” services • MAN level / using infrastructure overcapacity • do not do it unless necessary/ officially approved NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Who pays for it ? (2) • Example: Regional Silesian REN • KBN subsidy • edu users payments • com users payments • about a third each • Inter-MAN services: • 60% of income to end MANs • 40% to common budget NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
PIONIER – planned topology NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
community needs an advanced network demands are increasing EU cooperation providers cannot deliver not at required technological level not at reasonable prices PIONIER – why we are building it? NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
Previously (backbone, POL-34): capacity rented nodes owned by MANs Soon:all owned by community fibres (dark) transmission equipment nodes cost shared with com partners PIONIER – new model NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
dark fibres financed from KBN (SCfSR) subsidy owned by designated MAN available to MANs for regional connections (at the cost of ownership) cost shared with commercial partners obtained for the real cost not the commercial value PIONIER - ownership NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
transmission/regeneration equipment owned by operator (designated MAN) financed from KBN (SCfSR) subsidy nodes owned by local MAN !!!! financed from (SCfSR) subsidy PIONIER – ownership (2) NREN in Ukraine: Present State and Future Developments
