Community Design Workshop - First Day Summary, Issues Rick Summerhill, Director Network Research, Architecture, and Technologies Internet2 Community Design Workshop 15, 16 June 2006 Indianapolis, IN

Rick Summerhill2 Outline Circuit availability and provisioning Circuit price schedule Commodity Internet Services Network Usage Policy Focus, Focus, Focus!

Rick Summerhill3 Circuit Availability and Provisioning Waves Infinera Equipment allows for rapid provisioning of circuits - only needs deployment of end-point Interfaces Internet2 will keep spare interfaces installed in all nodes When 8 waves are deployed, next set of ten will be installed on segments and nodes Any (first) wave will be provisioned within hours Sub-channel circuits Won’t require full control plane deployment at the start, either by RONs or campuses Can be configured by hand (within hours) from the start

Rick Summerhill4 Circuit Price Schedule Internet2 can’t get too far out in front of its advisory boards on this, but … Needs clarification as soon as possible Will be published on a web page Costs to deploy waves and circuits: Incremental costs to deploy a wave are minimal, under $15,000 - just need the endpoint interfaces However, lots of infrastructure must have already been put in place, with associated costs. Because of the density of Infinera system, costs are roughly on a distance basis, so a simple per mile charge is likely

Rick Summerhill5 Commodity Internet Services Probably most contentious issue Needs to be unbundled from standard connection service and fee Delay till there is better understand of the consequences Form a working group on commodity services

Rick Summerhill6 Network Usage Policy Minimal CoU needs to be developed as soon as possible Internet2 believes the carrier conditions on the CoU are sufficiently flexible to encourage and allow liberal use of the network However, there are edge cases that some are concerned about Maybe of function of participation structure and not CoU NPPAC and Board review and approval

Rick Summerhill7 Focus, Focus, Focus Focus should be on the build-out of the network and transition from Abilene to the new network as quickly as possible Put new and expanded services in the background, under working groups as necessary Focus! :)
