1. connect communicate collaborate Advances on End-to-End Network Monitoring and Provisioning Services on Global Scale – GÉANT BoD Update Internet2 2012 Spring Member Meeting, 25 April 2012 Tangui Coulouarn, UNI-C/Forskningsnettet Radek Krzywania, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center

2. connect communicate collaborate Key features of the BoD service End-to-end circuits with deterministic characteristics (in particular bandwidth) Automatically provisioned and user-controlled Tool independent: NRENs can use the technology of their choice For example for provisioning circuits: AutoBAHN (used by most NRENs), OSCARs, OpenDRAC But also for other aspects: monitoring, AAI, etc. Conceived as a service and not only as a technological solution: Agreements on cost sharing, support, PR & Marketing, etc. About to be launched after a pilot phase by 9 European NRENs For more info, have a look at the website: http://www.geant.net/service/BoD/pages/home.aspx http://www.geant.net/service/BoD/pages/home.aspx

3. connect communicate collaborate Challenges in the transition to service Multi-domain services require multi-domain agreements Deployment in very different environments: different technologies and different vendors Outreach to end-users and use-cases not always mapping the deployment of the service Some features difficult to implement: monitoring, AAI Interoperability issues: IDCP not supported by all provisioning systems; hope for the NSI
