•  Storage !  Flexible Ethernet based solution – Fujitsu Ethernus !  500 TByte cloud storage ready to be used

•  Services !  Cloud = distributed resource mgmt + virtualisation !  Provide cloud computing services to universities !  Strorage grid/cloud services for off-site backup !  Web portal services to access (HPC/storage) grid services

10. oldal



HBONE+ collaboration

•  Videoconferencing !  30+2 fullHD VC room

systems – installed at the universities

!  Centrally manageable SIP/H.323, fullHD MCU

!  Desktop videoconferencing system

Integrated with the existing videoconferencing system of NIIF/Hungarnet

11. oldal

•  VOIP !  Upgrading the existing

Voice gateways !  Supporting

deployment of IP PBX systems



HBONE+ collaboration

•  HD Videoconferencing !  30 x Polycom HDX 8000 + Polycom RMX 4000 MCU +

management !  Installed and ready to be used

•  Desktop videoconferencing systems !  Vidyo Router/Gateway/Portal !  Installed (testing in progress)

•  VoIP •  Upgrading the existing Voice gateways !  35 x Cisco 2811 Voice bundle replacing old Cisco 5350s

12. oldal



Past experience of DF rental attempts

•  1997-2000 !  DF offers – price below STM-1 rentals for 5 years !  NIIF/Hungarnet was not ready for using DF

•  2001-2003 !  DF offers only in and around Budapest – we started to use them

•  2004-2005 !  We asked explicitly DF/Lit Fibre/STM-16/10GE – DF about 2x price

of 10GE

•  2008-2009 !  After informal discussions with the Telcos we expected 80-90%

coverage of Hungary with similar price to previous tender !  Tender result – with 1.5 years provisioning time

"  DF price about 10x of single 10GE – Telcos realised: no more fibres "  No competition – just 3 country-wide providers (1-2 offers per regions) "  No offer for 10-15 Year IRU, only 5 years rental "  Failure

13. oldal



Current experience with DF

•  Re-negotiation with all Telcos !  Lack of fiber – only 3 country-wide providers

"  Incumbent – DF available ~ 10x10G price "  Alternative – inefficient usage of fibres, extensive traffic

engineering needed "  Electricity company – limited capacity in OPGW, far from cities

!  Expensive to lease dark fibre !  You don’t need all capacity which become available !  Sharing/cooperation

•  Proposal - Hungarian Electricity Company !  Shared usage of fibre - share the DWDM resources on

lambda basis !  NIIF/Hungarnet buy and operate the DWDM system !  HEC uses the alien wavelengths !  HEC provides equipment housing

14. oldal



Technical details of proposal

•  Framework contract (8 years) with IRU !  90% coverage of Hungary ~ 3000 km fibre !  Shared usage in C-Band - at least 40" on

fibre-pairs !  Lambdas are engineered to support 40G,

maybe 100G also !  Housing locations in every ~80-100 km !  Two partners shared view to the entire

network - shared mgmt system !  Two mgmt domains to maintain own lambdas

HBONE+ network coverage



HBONE+ network coverage /2

•  Cable types – backbone is OPGW !  ITU-T G.652B / G.652D !  Coverage: 79 PoPs, ~3200 Km

•  Challenges !  Redundant fibre path between the core PoPs –

L1 and L3 point of view !  Separate tenders for local-loop DFs – done –

on time delivery? !  Housing requirements before finishing the

DWDM equipment tender !  PMD on OPGW

17.



Tender results •  Process: competitive negotiation (together with L3

equipments) 2010 February-August – 10 equipment vendors

•  DWDM Equipment - Alcatel-Lucent PSS-1830 !  80 channel system with 40 channel licensed !  Engineered for 40G/100G capability, Only EDFA amplifiers, distance up to

1000 km !  Mostly 10GE lambdas, some 40G lambda used in the system with muxponders !  WSS ROADMs + terminal multiplexers + Colorless/Tunable Transponders !  No optical restoration – but free channel capacity to reroute " !  Device managed by NIIF/Hungarnet with maintenance contract for long period

•  IP/MPLS Equipment – Cisco ASR9000 series routers !  MEF Carrier Ethernet/MPLS SP Platform !  92 (184) Gbps slot capacity !  Cisco IOS-XR Modular OS !  Green design !  Device managed by NIIF/Hungarnet with maintenance contract for long period

18.



Hybrid Network Services - development

• Lightpath Service ! Dedicated Network capacity for projects

"  already 3 demands

!  Point-to-point circuits – "oD

• L2 VPN, managed Ethernet - Fine-grained capacity provisioning – with routers

• Traditional IP: IPv4/6, unicast/multicast, L3 VPN, with QoS and SLA

19.



Conclusions and remarks/lessons •  Todo

!  Deploy the DWDM and IP network !  Develop lightpath/alien wavelength/more finer granular bandwidth

service !  Overcome limitations of DWDM management systems

"  Two operating entity systems "  Operational models for dynamic wavelength handling "  Test and research activity on the DWDM platform could effect other working

wavelength and services? – procedures? "  Common documentation? "  Vendor communication?

!  Cross Border Fiber extension? – next to AMRES

•  Remarks/lessons !  No unique way to acquire DF !  Dealing with fiber providers can be challenging !  Try to find local providers to get competitive prices !  Development fund might be available for CAPEX !  KISS
