NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What we’ll cover  Network Requirements  Common for any ESInet  Special PSAP Requirements  Things that will drive a PSAP network design

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What is an ESInet?  Just the network  Not the NG9-1-1 Core Services  Includes hardware and software  Designed to support the NG9-1-1 Core Services and Other Public Safety Applications

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Is a PSAP network just another ESInet?  Yes!  And, of course, no!  It’s an ESInet with a few additional requirements

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What major factors drive PSAP network design?  The applications, services, and interfaces it must support  The critical nature of itself  Policies

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida PSAP Virtualization and network design  Elements of a PSAP could be anywhere  But the design drivers remain the same

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The i3 solution  The i3 solution: NENA (STA-010)  NG9-1-1 Core Services  A PSAP is a Service itself  The i3 specifications drive network requirements common to PSAP networks

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The i3 solution

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Is a Domain really required?  Yes!  Why can’t I just have a “peer” or “workgroup” style network?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What other common infrastructure is required?  For managing and monitoring  For protecting and securing  For reliability and availability  For ensuring quality of service

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Security for Next-Generation  Security for Next-Generation (NG- SEC)  Security is driver for network design  PSAPs must not be the weak link

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Emergency Services IP Network Design for NG9-1-1  A NENA Informational document  Outlines issues to consider  Provides guidance for design  Applies to all ESInets

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Emergency Services IP Network Design for NG9-1-1  OSI Layers 1, 2 and 3  Availability and Reliability  Network Security  Performance  Traffic Engineering and more…

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Supporting PSAP interfaces to the serving ESInet  Application Interfaces drive some underlying network requirements  SIP Call Interface  Additional Data  Management and Monitoring

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Performance requirements  Bandwidth requirements  Media and Metadata  Event and Media Recording  Traffic Prioritization

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Availability and Reliability  What is “five nines”?  How do you achieve five nines?  What’s the difference between Availability and Reliability?  MTBF and MTTR

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Network Management and Monitoring  ESInets must be monitored  Mechanisms for monitoring:  SNMP – v3 vs. v2  Traffic Monitoring  Syslog – what it does  Proprietary mechanisms

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Network Management and Monitoring  Mechanisms for Managing ESInets  As-built documentation  Service Level Agreements  Traffic  Capacity / Trending Analysis  Configuration Management

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida PSAP Connectivity (OSI Layer 1)  The Last Mile  Copper, Fiber, RF, Satellite  Reliability and Availability  Redundant and Diverse Paths

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The data link layer (OSI Layer 2)  T1/T3  Frame Relay  ATM  MPLS  Metro Ethernet

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The IP Layer (OSI Layer 3)  Dynamic Routing Protocols  There are choices  OSPF, EIGRP, etc.  The choices drive design requirements

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida IPv4 and IPv6  IPv4 is what we’ve seen for years:   We’ve run out of public addresses  IPv6 allows for more addresses:  2001:0db8:85a3:0042:1000:8a2e:0370:7334  Build for IPv6 out of the box

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Traffic Engineering  Study your bandwidth requirements  Media consumes a lot – video and audio the most  Text consumes less, but is still significant  Bandwidth and DDOS attacks

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Quality of Service  What is QoS  Why do we need it  What design criteria does it drive?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Prioritizing network traffic  What is “DiffServ”?  Why does the i3 architecture require it?  What elements must support it?  How does that drive network design?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What’s special about a PSAP network?  The PSAP network has the same basic requirements as any ESInet – it is an ESInet  But it has a few additional ones, driven by the job a PSAP does

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida What’s special about a PSAP network?  The PSAP will likely be connected to other networks that require different, and possibly conflicting network policies  Data services drive these policies (NCIC, LEO DB)  How do we mediate these?  And mitigate risks to disparate networks?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Policy impact on network design, and vice-versa  How do your policy choices impact the network you design?  How will your network design impact your policy choices?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The “separate networks” issue  Why do vendors sometimes insist on a separate physical network for their applications?  Why does it matter?  Why is that a problem in NG9-1-1?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Interconnection to other networks  Connecting to certain data services like NLETS and LEO carry restrictive security requirements  Connecting to less-secure networks introduce additional risks

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida The “Internet”  Both the PSAP and the ESInet that provides NG Core Services to it will likely be connected to the Internet  Why?  What special design problems does this introduce?

NENA Development Conference | October 2014 | Orlando, Florida Local “Administrative” networks  Most PSAP will be connected to one or more “Administrative” networks  Examples?  How does this impact network design?
