GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 5 GÉANT Topology We have currently 19 PoPs across Europe –2 New PoPs under construction: Israel and Croatia Trunks –9*STM64 in West of Europe –12*STM16 in West and East of Europe.

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 6 GÉANT Topology Accesses to GÉANT –12 connections at STM16 POS capacity –10 connections <= to STM1 capacity

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 7 GÉANT Topology STM64 circuits STM16 circuits STM4 circuits STM1 circuits

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 8 GÉANT Connections 27 National network research peerings

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 9 GÉANT Research Interconnections GÉANT AS20965 CAnet DFN NREN2 JANET NREN4 GTREN STM-16 UKDE Esnet... Abilene STM-4 GTREN is the Global Terabit Research & Education Network initiative of DANTE and UCAID to establish an intercontinental network connecting the various regional research networks.

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 10 Future Connectivity EUMEDConnect Project (36 months) –Part of the Euro-Mediterranean Information Society (EUMEDIS) initiative –EuropeAid (EC) funded programme –Beneficiaries are most of the North Africa and Eastern Mediterranean states –EUMEDConnect aims to provide the necessary network infrastructure –Will provide intra-regional connectivity and connectivity to GÉANT –Phase 1 (until end of April)

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 11 Caesar project –Same type of project but for South of America Future Connectivity

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 12 GÉANT Services GÉANT Standard IP Service Ip traffic from NREN to NREN (About 27 countries) IP traffic from NREN to Research Peerings (Abilene, Canarie, Esnet, NII..) Commodity peerings Commodity IP users to Commercial Peerings (KPNQwest, Global Crossing, Infonet)

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 13 GÉANT Services Multicast Service –Multicast is enabled for all the NRENs and Research Peerings Replacement of the Managed Bandwidth Service –Premium IP Service (End to End Service for low Delay, low Jitter, negligible loss). –VPN layers 2

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 14 GÉANT Services Upcoming New Services Security and Dos attack detection IPV6

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 15 GÉANT MULTICAST SERVICE

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 16 Coverage GÉANT is a transit domain for Multicast traffic as well. 24 NRENs over 27 have explicitly asked for being enabled multicast Fully enabled with the Research peerings

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 17 Access to the Service Via the primary access to GÉANT Via a GRE tunnel (currently nobody) Support of PIM-SM v2 only MBGP/MSDP/PIM-SM v2 peering

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 18 Operational procedures Currently under definition Goal: fully supported service as Unicast. Monitoring of the infrastructure via a set of adapted tools. –Beacon Matrices –Looking glass => –Others (volume, MSDP, MBGP …)

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 19 Operational procedures Troubleshooting –Extension of the trouble ticket systems to multicast incidents –Establishment of a database of Incidents –“Sanctions” for mis-behaving customers...

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 20 IP PREMIUM SERVICE

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 21 IP Premium Service This service which is currently being piloted in GÉANT has the aim to provide international Virtual leased line based on Diffserv. The Premium IP service is an end-to-end service (University to University) crossing multiple administrative domains It is defined on the basis of the Diffserv Expedited Forwarding Per Hop behavior which is required to offer –Bandwidth, low loss, upper bounded delay and jitter

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 22 IP Premium model Premium IP packets are tagged with DSCP code =46 at the entrance of GÉANT Domain. Rate Limitation is applied per aggregate on the NREN’s access, based on the total demanded bandwidth towards the destination. Filters are made on two parameters (NRENs networks + DSCP value)

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 23 IP Premium model Admission Control is made manually based on the Sum of bandwidth already booked on the destination access.

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 26 Other activities Security (

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 27 DANCERT (DANTE’s Computer Emergency Response Team) Team responsible for defining and implementing DANTE security policy. DoS attack service protection Proactively through rate limiting and anti-spoofing measures. Reactively through DoS tools applying filters and helping report and investigate attacks. Assistance in investigating security incidents such as: Hacking, Port Scanning, Spam reports

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 28 Other activities IPV6 (

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 29 IPV6: 6NET project 36 Month project started in January 2002 Participants Cisco (coordinating partner) DANTE (GÉANT), NRENs, other organisms Testbed for activities using/supporting native IPv6 Interconnection of national IPv6 testbeds Support for applications which exploit IPv6 (eg mobile) Demonstration of complete native IPv6 stack

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 30 Native STM-1line to Greece under negotiation International IPv6 connectivity provided by partners including DANTE to NACSIS Planned Y1 6NET topology Testbed for activities using/supporting native IPv6

GÉANT now and next steps -- Agnès Pouélé 31 GÉANT Long term views Upgrade of the core network from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps. –With one Lambda? –With several Lambda's? Provisioning of Soft permanent channels to build Virtual Optical Private Network
