The New Backbone
QANH
BAK
QFRE
QSTO
QSD
SAC
QCHI
QSV
QSAL
SLO
WE
Why?
Current DS-3 (45 Mbps) backbone nearing capacity - need more bandwidth
Community College video project - need more bandwidth
Research projects at some campuses - need more bandwidth
More Bandwidth
Most current Sprint/AT&T DS-3 circuits being replaced by OC-3 (155 Mbps)
OC-12 (622 Mbps) between Los Angeles and San Diego
New vendor: Qwest (http://www.qwest.net/)
More Reliability
Most of the backbone will move off CSU campuses into Qwest points of presence (“POPs”)
Telco-quality facilities: UPS, generator, etc. Campuses will connect to Qwest POPs
“It has to be done when?”
Western backbone: July 1999 Northern backbone: October 1999 Eastern backbone: October 1999
In the metro areas
Pacific Bell providing OC-48 (2,400 Mbps) SONET rings in LA, SF, SD areas
Connect CSU campuses, Qwest POPs at OC-3c, OC-12c
Some campuses (LB, SB, POM, SON, HUM) are too ‘far’ from the rings to be included
What’s SONET?
High-speed optical (fiber) networking Ring topology means that circuit failures
don’t cause outages -- traffic re-routes around the ring in less than a second

“It has to be done when?”
LA Ring - July 1999– Northridge, Los Angeles, Dominguez Hills,
Fullerton SD Ring - July 1999
– San Diego, San Marcos, UCSD/SDSC SF Ring - September 1999
– Hayward, San José, San Francisco
“It has to be done when?”
Pomona, San Bernardino, Long Beach - September 1999
Sonoma - already at OC-3 Humboldt - OC-3 pending telco facilities
Connecting 4CNet to CalREN-2
At UCSD/SDSC - July 1999 At Anaheim - October 1999
– Caltech, JPL, USC, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, USC/ISI
Possibly at Sunnyvale - November 1999– UC Davis, UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley,
UC Santa Cruz, Stanford
Related Upgrades: Abilene
Abilene is a NSF-recognized High Performance Network Service
CalREN-2 is connecting to Abilene in 3 locations
Abilene fees (per institution):– UCAID annual membership of $25K– Abilene annual fee of $20K– Pro-rated gigapop access fees from CalREN-2
The Big Picture
We’re building the biggest university network in the country
And making it better, faster, more reliable
What’s next?
We would like to hear from you on how we can help you…– Dave Reese, Director
