  1. TEN-155: Europe Moves into the Fast Lane Howard Davies DANTE Howard.Davies@dante.org.uk

  2. TEN-155 and QUANTUM • TEN-155 Network Service • Successor to TEN-34 • QUANTUM Project • funded by EC ACTS, Esprit and Telematics Programmes • Same consortium as TEN-34 (plus Ireland) • Q-MED: complementary project adding Cyprus and Israel (not yet approved) • Includes technology testing programme

  3. TEN-155 Network • Access capacities of 10, 34/45, and 155 Mbit/s • 155 Mbit/s SDH rings and partial rings • ATM as bandwidth management tool • “Best efforts” IP service (using most of capacity) • Managed Bandwidth Service (VC/VPN) - to be introduced progressively • Each NRN chooses IP-over-ATM or IP-over-SDH

  4. TEN-155 July 1998 Available Access Capacities in Mbit/s Available Access Capacity: 155 Mbps34 /45 Mbps 10 Mbps

  5. US Connectivity • US circuit (ATM, total 140 Mbit/s) for sub-set of NRNs • DANTE PoP in New York • Links to Perryman and StarTap (?)

  6. TEN-155 Timetable • ITT issued 23 Dec 97 • Contract with principal supplier 26 Aug 98 • RFS of 155 Mbit/s accesses 1 Dec 98 • MBS alpha phase starts 1 Dec 98 • US connection 1 Jan 99

  7. The Impact of TEN-155 • Demonstration that liberalisation works • (More) cost-effective services • International bandwidth equivalent to national capacities • Scope for exploitation of MBS • support of project groups • guaranteed QoS

  8. MBS Issues • Phased introduction • Development needed for (semi-) automated management • Use by multi-national research groups • Strong preference for access via NRN • Provision of end-end service • User charging - scheme to be defined • Investigation of both ATM and IP QoS facilities
