Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) Country Update By Sureswaran Ramadass APAN Malaysia
APAN Malaysia • Delegates from Malaysia for APAN Busan 2003 • 11 participants for APAN • Currently heading 2 WG • Multimedia • IPv6
APAN Malaysia • APAN-My was formed in 1997 to promote advanced research in network technologies using High Bandwidth networks. One of the main purposes of APAN-My is to link the main research network within Malaysia. • APAN Malaysia is an active member of APAN. APAN-MY heads the Multimedia Working Group and the IPV6 WG and also involve in numerous other APAN activities.
TEMAN • Testbed Environment for Malaysian Multimedia Applications and Networking (TEMAN) + Others • TEMAN was formed in 1997 by a collaborative effort between the Government, Universities and Telecommunication Companies. • It has setup a high speed 155 Mbit network testbed for research and development. This has expanded to include more universities. Satellite Bandwidth Obtained for research as well. • Now have support from the world’s first Dark Fiber 2.5 Gig Backbone network to also support connectivity. • Manis IPv6 research backbone already running

My Research Network • Potential Use & Collaborative Projects • aligned to MOSTE’s priority research areas • Governance of MYREN • the Network Operations Team be transparent to the User Groups and the Steering Committee since the entire ops will be outsourced. • Acceptable Use Policy • TEMAN had an Acceptable Use Policy and could be used as a reference for MYREN
My Research Network • Network Topologies, Service Fees and Connection to MYREN • charges be at very low levels as compared to charges for commodity Internet • connectivity to MYREN be at 2Mbps, 8Mbps & 16Mbps dependent on each university’s requirements • Operations & Maintenance of MYREN • agreed to the following operating service levels: • A) NOC availability = 99.9% • B) MYREN Network availability = 99.5% (1.5 days downtime / yr)
Joint Proposal Between Malaysia and Korea for TEIN Plan & Network
Phase SEA-BB :The First Phase • Terrestrial links connecting Thailand and Singapore to NRGXchg. • Implementation details to be worked out separately between Thailand & Sg. THAILAND(BANGKOK) (TRCNet) SINGAPORE (SINGAREN) MALAYSIA NRG (PG)
Phase SEA–BB: The Second Phase • Terrestrial links from Malaysia to • Philippines • Indonesia • 2 other neighbors (Undecided)
SEA-Backbone Link to North Asia SEA-Net will be able to connect to North Asia through the KR-MY link Link Owners of the KR-MY link will be MIC/KISDI (Korea) and MECM/Malaysian Research Net (Malaysia).
Trans-Eurasia Link to South-East Asia Korea • Enhancing the existing TEIN connection between KR/KISDI-FR/RENATER to 45Mbps. • Extending TEIN link to MY from KR (March 2003) France TEIN II Link (45 Mbps) Malaysia
Joint Proposal (formulated on 27 Nov, 02) • In principle, Korea and Malaysia accepts to create the KR-MY link as link owners, together with EC as a main contributor. • Eventually, the plan is for all the 7 ASEAN Countries in ASEM to be connected in one form or the other to this network. This network will also expand to include any new ASEAN members accepted into ASEM.
NRG Connectivity 512 Kbps uplink 1.5 Mbps downlink
