2. Status of progress of the improved RMTN Objectives of the first stage: 1) Migration to TCP/IP for saving the both of costs and human resources allowing latitude in selecting a network service 2) Extrication from expensive leased circuits for saving recurrent costs obtaining flexible connectivity  Seeking cost-effective alternatives to leased circuits, Frame Relay, IP-VPN … Use of the Internet is now being discussed by many centres.

2.1 Implementation of circuits Regional plan: 78 circuits Implemented: 67 circuits Implementation rate : 86 % (as of Aug. 2003) Progress of improvement in circuit speed in RA II The number of circuits NMCs Baghdad, Kabul and Phnom Penh are isolated from the GTS. Low speed circuits are still more than half.

2.2 Migration to TCP/IP Achievement rate: about 35% ( as of August 2003) Estimation rate: over 50% by the end of 2005 Progress in migration to TCP/IP in RA II number of circuits

2.3 Seeking cost-effective connections Bilateral basis FR: 6 circuits Collaborative FR: 3 circuits (as of August 2003) Frame Relay services Growth in introducing of Frame Relay circuits in RA II number of circuits

Two approaches to establish Frame Relay links Bilateral basis approach (improved RMTN Group IIA strategy) Collaborative approach (IMTN project) Administrative view Multi-end-contract # the traditional peer-to-peer method for GTS circuits # Easy to coordinate One-stop-contract # a new collaborative framework among centres # Not easy to coordinate Technical view Network-to-Network Interconnection (NNI) # Inter-connection of two providers / telecom carriers # Committed Information Rate (CIR) : Symmetric only Seamless connection # connection through a network managed by a single provider # Committed Information Rate : Symmetric or Asymmetric

Bilateral basis approach (Strategy of the improved RMTN Group IIA) Traditional method : bilateral contract/billing Frame Relay Network X Frame Relay Network Y NNI

Collaborative approach (IMTN project) New method : one-stop concept (a) one-stop contract/billing

(b) one-stop contract & multi-end billing

2.3.2 IP-VPN services There is no VPN circuit in RA II. One of VPN services is IP-VPN which is different in backbone management from Internet VPN. Provider’s PEs and Core Routers based on MPLS have Label Tables and switch IP packets forward according to the Tables. CE : Customer Edge RouterVPN : Virtual Private Network PE : Provider Edge RouterMPLS : Multi Protocol Label Switching Closed IP network by a provider CE PE CE PE CE IP IP Label Core Router PE IP VPN group VPN group IP-VPN with MPLS

IPsec VPN products add/remove the ESP for encryption and encapsulation and the AH for authentication to/from an IP packet. ESP : Encapsulation Secure Payload AH : Authentication Header Internet IPsec Product ESP AH IP VPN group IPsec Product IP ESP AH IP IP IPsec Product Internet VPN with IPsec

2.3.3 Internet links Current: 5 circuits (as of August 2003) Estimation: 9 circuits by the end of 2005 Growth in GTS circuits through the Internet in RA II number of circuits

2.4 Complementary systems Being used for a complement of GTS point-to-point links and a backup source. PCVSAT (2-way) by China, TV-inform-Meteo by Russia, Data broadcast through World Space Satellite Digital Audio Broadcast by India, MDD by EUMETSAT, WAFS (ISCS, SADIS) and UKSF/WWW Satellite broadcasting systems Broadcast type DAB: Digital Audio Broadcasting DVB: Digital Video Broadcasting 2 way VSAT type

SADIS/UKSF (WAFS broadcast / WWW data by UK satellite Facility)

2.4.2 Internet server systems With improving Internet connectivity of Members, Internet data serving method is becoming one of convenient and promising complement systems. A number of RTHs/NMCs operate their own servers and provide WWW data. We must keep track of both of positive and negative aspects of the Internet ! Heavy load Hidden cost

Positive aspect : Good opportunities for innovation EC site, Video on Demand, Network Game Music & Movie streaming, On-line shopping Home security INTERNET anytime, anywhere, anyone any medium, any contents The Internet always leads IT innovation

Negative aspect : Security risks INTERNET There are bad guys in the world Target hosts Step hosts with security holes Attack trigger Simultaneous attacks Step mail servers with security holes Spam Spam Victims

3 Prospect on foundations of the Improved RMTN The IMTN project is now in the implementation stage and will be completed in The IMTN Network II is established as extension of RA VI RMDCN which is a well managed Frame Relay network under the contract between ECMWF and Equant. Beijing already has joined the RMDCN. New Delhi, Jeddah and Tokyo will join soon. 3.1 IMTN Network II (a core of the Improved RMTN) Bracknell Sofia Network II Melbourne Buenos Aires Tokyo Beijing New Delhi Nairobi Cairo Toulouse Dakar Algiers Moscow Washington Brasilia Network I Network I Offenbach Jeddah Prague

3.2 Understanding of network service providers Find the right price Cut-price with an excessive discount often means a trade-off in service quality. We must keep a balance between price and quality in our minds. Assess the quality We should try to understand each provider’s specific characteristics in backbone network, reliability and availability, performance such as burst limits and round-trip delay, and support capabilities such as help desk services, monitoring and report procedures and local language support. Understand difficulties * PTT monopoly often makes a network service less reliable and more expensive. * In case of a bilateral connection, nothing goes well without technical compatibility and a contractual agreement between PTTs. * In case of a seamless connection by a single provider, it is very hard to coordinate administrative issues on one-stop basis among individual NMHSs and the provider.

3.3 Asian market of network service providers Generally the Asian telecom market is inactive except for the Internet business since the recent recession. New investments by global network service providers have inclined to concentrate on potential markets such as China and India. Although each country’s PTT is trying to gradually phase out legacy facilities, its progress is slow in some countries of PTT monopoly. Such poor domestic infrastructure affects reliability and cost-effectiveness of international connections. Increasing the number of available providers in eastern Asia has ceased and then unbelievable discounting in late 1990s is coming to an end. In business use, the network trend is gradually moving from Frame Relay to VPN services. IP-VPN services are currently available domestically in developed countries and being available internationally among big cities in the world. The coverage of TCP/IP based services will expand on the worldwide level absorbing traditional telephone networks.

4. Suggestions in further improving 1) Acceleration of TCP/IP migration All of RMTN circuits in RA II should migrate to pure TCP/IP links with a first priority in the first step. Delay of implementation in one centre may extinguish the whole benefit. Some NMCs have difficulties in TCP/IP migration. Their telecom systems are already obsolete and have no capability to handle the TCP/IP protocol suite. Lack of expertise and funds definitely obstructs replacement of their systems. Technical and financial support in the early stage of the transition will be effective for promotion of the migration. Related RTHs and WMO Secretariat should consider possible support.

2) Selecting an appropriate network service with a possible framework There are options in cost-effective network services (i.e. FR, IP-VPN). Regarding the contract aspect, in addition to a bilateral framework which is the current strategy, a one-stop collaboration is becoming an option (e.g. further extension of the IMTN Network II). Since there are various differences in technical developments and administrative conditions from part to part in RA II, an appropriate network service and its contractual framework are not to be always the same. Each group and/or part (an RTH and NMCs concerned) should examine and discuss their best solution. In other words, an appropriate network service with a possible contractual framework should be selected by each group/part.

3) Use of the Internet for a GTS circuit as the very end solution The use of the Internet is one of convenient solutions to upgrade the current GTS circuits, especially asynchronous low speed ones. But there are serious risks in security and performance guarantee, as well-known. At present, all centre should first challenge the ordinary approach to the best solution. If the ordinary approach would be very difficult, the Internet use should be considered. In case of GTS circuits through the Internet, introduce of VPN techniques is recommended according to “Guide on Virtual Private Networks (VPN) via the Internet between GTS centres” developed by OPAG-ISS.

4) Practical use of consulting and marketing companies It is desirable to use detailed survey reports provided by telecom consulting and marketing companies in identifying available and adequate data communication services and network providers for RMTN and also national networks.

5) Building up technical information to help NMCs facing difficulty The on-line information resources on the GTS are available on the WMO Web server. Although this site is very useful for all the GTS centres, there seems be still room for improvement and enhancement. WMO Secretariat should strengthen the on-line information resources on the GTS from the view to help small NMCs having no expertise in cooperation with voluntary experts. In this regard, here are some ideas from GTS colleagues: to add easier contents aiming at a newcomer to telecom section, beginner’s dictionary and necessary extractions from textbooks; to increase trivial but necessary tips in the implementation collected from centres; to add the latest information on telecom marketing and network providers; to update contents timely; to build a virtual help desk to answer questions from NMCs and to prepare FAQ.
