1 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20041 Developments in RedIRIS as seen in the Context of Developments in other NRENs http://www.terena.nl/compendium

2 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20042 Conclusions RedIRIS is one of the leading NRENs in Europe It can be proud of its achievements over the past years But…

3 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20043 Structure of talk What is TERENA? RedIRIS (compared with selected other NRENs) Conclusions

4 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20044 A not-for-profit association of European National Research & Education Networks Governed by the General Assembly of the Members, larger members have more votes Funded through Membership Fees and project funding Secretariat located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 14 staff (13 FTE) 33 National Members 2 International Members: CERN, ESA 10 Associate Members (including DANTE, equipment vendors and telecoms operators) TERENA Organisation 34

5 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20045 TERENA’s Mission Represent common interests and opinions of members –Make political and industrial contacts –Lobby European Union and national governments –Liaise with other continents Knowledge Transfer –Conferences, Workshops & Seminars. –Developing informational, best-practice and training material Technical Programme –Developing, testing and promoting new technologies, services and applications –Task Forces, Projects and Workshops. Fostering new services Does not run a network! – DANTE does

6 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 20046 Task Forces Small groups of volunteers working on specific problems. Limited duration, typically 2 years. Open to any individual or representative offering expertise, manpower, equipment or services. Set of defined tasks and deliverables. Each task force has its own mailing list & web space. TERENA provides organisational and secretarial support. http://www.terena.nl/task-forces/ Under the GN2 project, collaboration between the Joint Research Areas and the Networking Activities and the work of most of the Task forces, but: –The Task Forces have a mandate that is not limited by the terms of the GN2 project –The Task Forces are open

10 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200410 SERENATE Study into European Research and Education Networking as Targeted by eEurope EC-funded project led by TERENA: 1 May 2002 - 31 December 2003 Studied the evolution of networking over the next 5-10 years. Produced set of recommendations for future research and education networks in SERENATE countries. http://www.serenate.org/

11 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200411 NREN Compendium Compendium has been published annually since 2000. Collection of relevant information about European NRENs: –Administrative data and legal form. –Number of users and market share. –Internal and external connectivity, and capacity of links. –Network traffic, load and congestion indicators. –Services, staffing and funding. Provides overview of network status in each country. 2004 edition now available on TERENA website, A good tool for lobbying governments and/or funding bodies! http://www.terena.nl/compendium

12 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200412 Other interesting TERENA publications IP Telephony Cookbook –basic and advanced services; –regulatory and legal aspects; –interoperability –available as book and online PDF Guide to Network Resource Tools –published since 1996 –Aimed at users and support staff –Provides basic introduction to the Internet –May be freely distributed by TERENA members, who may also acquire the local translation rights (e.g. Slovenian). –http://gnrt.terena.nl/

13 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200413 EGEE Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe. TERENA is the lead dissemination partner: –Providing web services. –Assisting with PR. –Organising conferences (every six months). Next event is in the Hague (NL), November 2004 Project has many Spanish participants. http://public.eu-egee.org/

14 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200414 TERENA Networking Conferences In a tradition of > 20 years Next one will take place in Poznań, Poland, from 6 to 9 June, 2005 Call for Papers is on the web and has just come from the printers http://www.terena.nl/tnc2005

15 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200415 Other Projects … we will save for another time

16 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200416 Warning! Don’t take what will follow too seriously! Based on data provided by the NRENs to the Compendium questionnaires Differences in interpretation (diminishing) NRENs are difficult to compare Leads to more questions than answers… Will give you data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain (plus some from Portugal and from The Netherlands)

17 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200417 Topology of the RedIRIS Network, 2001/2002

18 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200418 Final eEurope Benchmarking Report, COM(2002) 62 final of February 2002:

19 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200419 Comparison perhaps not completely fair… RedIRIS had 17 connections at 155 Mb/s GARR had just upgraded 3 centres to 2.5 Gb, but each via 2 routes, so they claimed to have 5 Gb/s Many other centres in Italy in fact connected only at 34 Mb/s (yellow lines)

20 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200420 Today, the situation is very different Note the redundancy aren’t they looking at the stars from here?

21 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200421 Other countries: France (redundancy?)

22 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200422 Germany (redundancy!)

23 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200423 UK (redundancy?) 10 Gb/s on backbone

24 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200424 Poland

25 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200425 Italy

26 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200426 Architecturs improving; more bandwidth now; more on the way Core Capacity on the networks, 2003 - 2006 0 2500 5000 7500 10000 12500 15000 17500 20000 RENATER DFN GARR SURFnet PIONIER RedIRIS UKERNA 2003 2004 2006

27 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200427 When will we enter the 100 Gb era? (log scale in Mbps) Although it is not always easy to predict… (slide from 2001)

28 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200428 Budgets have gone down, rather than up

29 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200429 Connectivity remains expensive…

30 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200430 (does RedIRIS need more budget and more staff??) It seems like it… but NRENs are very different, I cannot give that answer for you…

31 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200431 Dark fibre becoming an option for some countries

32 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200432 Traffic load now no problem

33 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200433 But needs continued attention

34 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200434 Traffic growth is high (and not likely to get less)

35 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200435 Traffic

36 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200436 Is there congestion? If so, where? The bottleneck is now at the University level!

37 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200437 Progress in connecting Universities at higher speeds 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 20032004200320042003200420032004200320042003200420032004 RENATERDFNPIONIERGARRUKERNARedIRISSURFnet #≥ 1 Gb %< % up to 100 Mb % up to 10 Mb % up to 2 Mb %= ISDN A few things to point out… Not much change here Can 2 Mb/s be enough for a University?

38 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200438 Differences between NRENs… e.g.: who gets connected?

39 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200439 Is the funding model relevant for the success of the NREN? … although diversifying funding sources (e.g. by getting it from various Government Departments) can be a wise strategy…

40 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200440 Is legal form relevant?

41 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200441 Conclusions African saying: “A pound of feathers will only fly if there is a bird inside”

42 Bert van Pinxteren Jornadas Técnicas RedIRIS, 26 October 200442 Conclusions RedIRIS is indeed one of Europe’s leading NRENs Assume ownership of your network! Congratulations on your Jornadas Técnicas Times ahead are challenging
