3. 3 Front Range GigaPoP (FRGP) http://www.frgp.net Netflow replacement coming FMC/FTC agreed to purchase icmynetflow Continued LANDER support Other CSU projects: support for Rover, NDN, BGPmon too PerfSonar deployments complete Hosted Internet2 Network Performance Workshop April 3-4 at NCAR 38 member attendees

4. FRGP 4 Installing new 10/100Gbps interface card to support growth Colocation updates - None –1850 Pearl –1200 Larimer –910 15th peering –10G Google peering active at 910 –Comcast –TR/CPS – largest single FRGP/UPoP usage –Akamai –Netflix active at 1850 Pearl – carrying ~2Gbps of traffic –Considering Bresnan and other peering

5. BiSON 4 Bi-State Optical Network (BiSON) Major fiber move on BiSON-owned Mcleod fiber 10/13 Contract awarded for move Still working with Windstream/McLeod on shared funding options ~$450K move Received IRU and O&M pricing from Zayo – prohibitive Timing of EAGLE-Net build and lack of Fort Collins support eliminates this option

6. 6 UCAR Point of Presence (UPoP) http://upop.ucar.edu 10G MOE coming – on order National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) joining UPoP via Colorado School of Mines fiber path Discussions with I2 on membership options - $10K/yr affiliate membership + $23.4K/yr participant fee National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) – in discussions The Geological Society of America - in discussions

11. Internet2 K20/SEGP 4 good interactions and links between content providers and K-20 groups looking for content UCAR education and outreach involvement as one of the SEGP reps for CO - please let Jeff know about any K-20 interest, content or user side questions or issues –will coordinate with EN (other two reps there) Jeff is also serving as liaison between this k20 group and Quilt –(e.g., SEGP connectivity survey). –SEGP connectivity survey submitted

12. WRN 4 Regular WTC and WPC calls LEARN has joined WRN WRN I2 KC Move to Chicago Exchanging the backhaul circuit to KC in exchange for Starlight backhaul 100G ports pending I2 for same cost this year and decreased costs next year (revenue neutral this year)

13. 13 Big Data Marla participated in Advanced Regional & State Networks (ARNs): Envisioning the Future as Critical Partners in Data-Driven Science –All whitepapers and presentations available here: https://www.mcnc.org/envisionhttps://www.mcnc.org/envision –Problem facing entire scientific community –Also discussed at I2 Member Meeting

15. 15 Quilt items Discussing intra-RON peering using AL2S Other uses for AL2S for RONs AirWatch http://www.air-watch.com/ Mobile device, application, content, applications, and learning management Quilt pricing program including FRGP/UPoP authorized buyers

16. 16 Quilt items CIS survey highlights –Bandwidth growth 5.5 to 7.5Gbps inbound –73% growth in 10Gbps circuits –~150Gbps actual inbound bandwidth for the program –Cogent, Level3, CenturyLink, Hurricane Electric (top bandwidth) top providers –Jeff Custard participated in process again showing great leadership

17. FRGP/UPoP Traffic – 1 – 5/13 percent commercial 14.44 percent peering 59.59 percent other 25.97 17

18. Futures/Challenges New agreements and new algorithms in 2014 BiSON growth, upgrade, funding Supporting/funding services – NET+, etc. Replacing expiring fiber IRUs Supporting/funding 40/100Gbps 18

21. NCWIT Pacesetters NCWIT Pacesetters is a fast-track program in which senior executives from startups, corporations, universities, and government commit to increasing their numbers of technical women. Pacesetters organizations work to recruit previously untapped talent pools of technical women and retain women who are at risk of leaving, resulting in "net new" women for their organizations.
