John Martin TERENA Networking Conference2 Focus Study 2004 Extension of TERENA Compendium Supported by EU through COM-REN In-depth look at Research Network funding in Europe –Analysis by network level –Current trends –Multiple network domain issues

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference3 Focus Study: Method questionnaire to TERENA correspondents Questionnaire trialled in advance 24 responses by end-April Follow-up by and interview Results will be published by TERENA

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference4 Focus Study: Analysis Analysis by network level: funding, management and operations Current trends - over three years Multiple domain issues - performance, security, end-to-end Total of 15 analyses plus many examples

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference8 Focus Study 2004 Current trends Since last year: 16 no change 4 increases in expenditure 4 other changes Expected next year: 12 no change 3 increases in expenditure 4 decreases in expenditure 5 other changes ……but most large changes are due to capital programmes.

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference9 Focus Study 2004 Performance issues Performance bottlenecks: - affected 18/24 countries - most are at campus or access levels - some due to high telecomms charges - some result of charging policies More details are in the report.

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference10 Focus Study 2004 Security and e2e issues (number of countries)

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference11 Focus Study 2004 Conclusions – Management and funding of research networks clear picture at external and backbone level clear picture at campus level mixed picture at access and regional level

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference12 Focus Study 2004 Conclusions – Trends in expenditure and funding significant year-on-year variations most due to one-off capital programmes recurrent funding is stable or slightly rising user contributions stable

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference13 Focus Study 2004 Conclusions – Multiple network domains bottlenecks mainly at campus or access level many denial of service attacks premium and end-to-end services susceptible to many performance and equipment shortcomings diagnosis and resolution often difficult multiple domains and varying support levels make this harder

John Martin TERENA Networking Conference14 Focus Study 2004 Conclusions – Some wider issues Evidence of some under-investment by user institutions High cost of telecomms in some countries is cause of bottlenecks at backbone and access level Policy of linking connection charging to bandwidth is cause of some bottlenecks
