  7. after RedIRIS10... RedIRIS-NOVA Spanish government commitment to build a photonic network based on dark fiber TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop. • RedIRIS10 contracts will end in October 2011 • The historical leased capacity model does not scale for the new e-Science challenges: • no Flexibility • limitations to develop advanced functionalities • high Costs • Globally, Educational and Research Networks are evolving to a model based on own dark fiber... or, more accurate, have evolved !

  8. RedIRIS-NOVA project • 138 MM€ : EU structural + Science and Innovation Ministry + Regional Governments funds • National coverage requirements: • Penninsula and Islands ( Cannary and Balears) • Ceuta and Melilla ( Norh Africa Spanish Cities) • Competitive Dialog Tender Process helps to know the dark fiber market in Spain and to define the tender requirements: • RFI in Oct/Nov 2008 • Dialog Process: December 2008 to July 2009 • Evaluation: September & October 2009 • Tender structured in 3 lots: • Guaranteed Fiber within the penninsula and housing facilities • Guaranteed Fiber with Canary Islands and housing facilities • Optical Equipment • 25 companies applied to participate and 23 companies joined in Dialog: • 10 fiber providers • 13 equipment vendors TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop.

  9. PoPs Redundancy • C1 PoP ( ): Its connection within the DF network requires a high reliability level. At least, two completely diversified routes with other two C1 PoPs • C2 PoP ( ): The realibility expectations are not so high ( not a core institution or economically not affordable) and the redundancy requirement is relaxed: ony one route required and one building access TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop.

  10. Fiber Tender Results ... • Islalink fiber as Canary Islands supplier TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop. • Telefónica as peninsula fiber supplier

  13. Guaranteed means... • Fiber Quality will be guaranteed until IRU ends: • Keep installation fiber parameters • No-complianced fiber spans will be swapped • 24/7 hot line • Supplier is responsible for end to end fiber quality ( even optical panel connector) • Optical Fiber Supervision System based on OTDR measurements, via: • A spare single fiber in same cable RedIRIS-NOVA fibers (selected) • OR • RedIRIS-NOVA fibers @ 1650nm • Housing facilities with guaranteed service: power supply, air conditioning, 24h independent access... • Classical operational model adapted to a fiber infrastructure • Integrated with new RedIRIS procedures • Failures Response Times Specification via SLAs: • Leased capacity approach adapted to a fiber infrastructure scenario • SLAs model discussed with bidders • PMD <= 0.50 ps/√km (0.20) QUALITY OPERATION MAINTENANCE TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop.

  14. Failures and SLAs definition ... • Failures classification • Complex Failures ( CF): Fiber outages or degradations that require special (≈ long) works to be fixed • Normal Failures ( NF): no special works • Service Level Agreements (to Fiber Links) • Fiber Link Availability (monthly): 99.2% just for NF times • PoP Availability (monthly): 99.98%, both CF + NF • Mean Times between Failures : 180 days (365 subm. )for CF and 30 days for NF • Maximum Unavailability Time for CF per 12 months periods: 30 hours for each 1.000km of fiber. • Time to Repair: 12 hours (20 days subm.) for CF and 8 hours (10 days subm.) for NF • Frequency of Failures (measured over 12 months periods): • 3 for CF and 6 for NF. • Fiber spans would be swapped if threshold is reached. Fiber Link (includes even the connector at RedIRIS optical panel) Fiber span Fiber span PoP PoP ILA TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop.

  15. SLAs penalties ... • Deployment phase • Delays in deployment • Operational phase • ILA housing conditions failures • No collaboration with 3rd party entities • Fiber link unavailability • PoP unavailability ( simultaneous outage or degradation for all PoP fibers) • To exceed Meant Time Between Failures parameter for each fiber link • To exceed the Maximum Number of CF per 12 months periods • To exceed the Maximun Time to Repair • Improper fiber operations • How are penalties charged with an up-front payment model ? • Provider set up a “1% contract budget” bank guarantee to support those penallties. • The 1% bank guarantee should be kept until IRU contract ends. Provider must put back money when any penalty reduce it. TF-MSP “Non-technical aspects of dark fibre” Workshop.
