  1. Recent developments of the Hungarian Academic and Research Network István Tétényi dr., Hungarnet/NIIF, Hungary E-mail: tetenyi@sztaki.hu

  2. Background • Representing the Hungarian research networking community – Hungarnet/NIIF • Hungarnet has a 14 years history • Serving 400 institutions and roughly 400000 users • Personal involvement in Pan European research networking projects

  3. Content • Historical overview • Recent Results • Closing

  5. The development of Hungarnet

  6. The development of HBONE The sixth generation of technology

  7. GEANT Optical Internet Recent results 1999-2002 • High-speed research network • Upgrade of access • application projects Supercomputing directory SZEZÁM IP telephony

  8. The GEANT project • One of the key projects • 123+Gbps and 27 countries • World-class service • Optical Internet • Budapest becomes an important focal point, regional hub • The Hungarian telecommunication becomes stronger (MATÁV and PanTel) • GTRAN

  9. Hungarnet in Europe

  10. National effortsHBONE- the Hungarian research computer network • In a nutshell: • covers 400 institutions • services for 400000 users • all universities/high-schools, academic research institutions, public libraries and museums, + ministries • STM-16 connection to GEANT • ~30Gbps internally

  11. Hungarnet Optical Internet • Aim: world-class service in Hungary • Long preparation • Successful public procurement • Connectivity providers: MATÁV and Vivendi • Capacity upgrade 3.5Gbps 30Gbps • Hungarian national framework programme

  12. Szekszárd Hungarnet Optical Internet • Public procurment of equipment • Cisco 12416, Catalyst 6509 • MPLS extension • In service: mid December 2001 • Transition period: one month Leading-edge network services in Hungary

  13. Upgrading the access in Hungarnet • Emphasize backbone vs. access (35. vs. 400) • Framework contract with major provider for yearly upgrade of 50-100% • New access routers for 200+ sites • Aims in the next three years • 75% of sites with 512kbps – 1.5Mbps capacity • Average access: 750kbps • Introduction of ADSL More capacity for more sites

  14. Supercomputing in Hungarnet • Background: • There are scientific and research problems that can only be solved using supercomputers and by grids • Hungarian researcher need this service • The Hungarian GRID uses the high-speed national network • Three supercomputer installation in 2001 • Participation in several international GRID projects • Targets: • grid of 50 clusters + some supercomputer • computing capacity: min. 1000Gflops • at least 100 research projects • Problems: quick erosion of computing capacity • Long term national policy is required; Hungarnet plays active role

  15. IP telephony in Hungarnet • Four key issues: • Avoid long distance national, international charges • Almost free telephony between Hungarnet institutions • Cost savings, benefit from economy of scale • New integration phone, PC, Internet • Open organizational and management issues • Long term preparation, demonstrations

  16. Internet weathermap

  17. Looking at from a perspective • International recognition • “for example it has been possible to upgrade the Hungarian network this year directly from 2Mbit/s to 155Mbit/s for the same price !” (Background material for the EC minister of science’s in March 2000. The only positive example.) • National recognition • Telcos are in favour of fair competition and results that shows their competence • Why the status of the Hungarian research network is important ? • 5th/6thFramework programme – Information Society Technologies Goal is: a competitive, extended, united Europe

  18. Summary • Significant development of Hungarnet in the last 2-3 years • Conformity with the eEurope requirements • The infrastructure of the Hungarian research network is advanced in European terms • Application projects (Közelkat, MOKKA, Directory, Hungarian Digital Library, supercomputing, stb.) • The foundation for the next three years is established • Important role within GEANT for the CEE region • End of the era of rationing capacity Joint European effort: world-class research, development, and education
