NRENs – GÉANT: A European Success StorySome factors
• Century old Telecom (+ 40 years ARPAnet - Internet) experience: Proven strong “Network Externalities” Sharing tradition
• Industry needs for Next Generation Network proofs of concept, synergy with R&E community the ARPAnet paradigm from the US of America to the “US of Europe”
• Foresight of National + EU funding authorities, triggered by NREN planning – SERENATE, EARNEST Studies, http://terena.nl/pubications/files/SERENATE-FINAL.pdf
• A decade (+) of success in serving R&E needs of the Continent Easing “digital divides” & involving powerful education communities (educators, students, pupils?)
• NRENs as public utilities for the R&E communities – extending “commons” principle
15+ NRENs interconnected within the Dark Fibre (DF) “cloud”
Rest, via leased “lambda” and SDH circuits

Provision of end-to-end (e2e) Services to e-Science Initiatives• Up to 2005: Gigabit Packet Switched IP (Layer 3) & Premium IP e2e Managed Bandwidth Services, VPNs
• Now DF NRENs, subscribe to GÉANT+GÉANT+ : A dual lightpath (2x10 Gig) mandatory hybrid service involving – 10 Gig IP Routed Service (IPv6)– 10 Gig Layer 2 Switched Service (multiplexing GigE’s and/or SDH circuits for e2e NREN requirements) National – local circuits provisioned by NRENs & Campuses
• The hybrid NREN - GÉANT2 service model enables DF NRENs to order additional 10 Gig lightpaths for: – Layer 2 Switched e2e circuits (e.g.1 GigE) on GÉANT2– 10 Gig Optical Private Networks (OPNs) configured for large e-Science projects using GÉANT2 DWDM,
NREN & Campus lightpaths
• Pricing of additional e2e lightpaths: Incremental costing of GÉANT2 Dark Fiber, charged to projects via hosting NRENs. Global extensions (if possible) may use GÉANT2 lightpaths under similar terms
• Planning based on common understanding and “accurate” prediction of requirements (bandwidth, availability, delay, jitter …)
• Who, how and to what extend provisions, manages, monitors, charges, absorbs the costs, undertakes risks in a multi-domainmulti-domain network of HPC - GRID resources?

GÉANT2:Policy Issues for NREN Participation
• One National R&E Entity represents all R&E communities of a National State (its Service Area) and participates on their behalf in the NREN Policy Committee
• This not for profit entity (NREN) must:– Be a member of the GN2 Consortium or admitted upon unanimous agreement of Consortium
voting members– Abide by the GN2 Consortium Agreement & NREN PC resolutions– Publish its AUP (applicable to all traffic accessing GÉANT2)– Support R&E networking in its Service Area, within the Extended European Research Area – Provide access to all AUP compliant national R&E users via their campus LAN or MAN (or
other R&E network within their service area)– Contribute to the Cost-Sharing of GN2 according to PC Resolutions– Participate in the NREN PC and (if possible) to GN2 Activities (NA’s, SA’s, JRA’s)
• Under the conditions above a GÉANT2 NREN is entitled to:– National subsidiarity– Collective privileges of GÉANT2 NREN’s (hybrid services, global connectivity, joint
research…)– EC co-funding, if eligible

+ Global IPv4 – IPv6 coverage (and progressing towards Global Hybrid networking)+ Network management, resiliency & support
• e-Science (GRID) Virtual Organizations obtain customized, production quality hybrid networking services, beyond leasing individual circuits, wave-lengths or dark fibers
• e-Infrastructures as equalizers, reduce the DIGITAL DIVIDES in Europe & Globally: Big Science affordable via Virtual e-Science
• NRENs - GÉANT2 stimulate Network Research & enable novel concept evaluation by emulations in a global production environment via virtualization of facilities & services
