2.4 Envisaged Outcome

The implementation of the Provision of Corporate Wide Interconnectivity (MPLS) and

Internet Service Project is expected to provide:

1. Highly available and seamless interconnectivity between the NNPC CHQ /the

DR Centre and all the NNPC locations across the country.

2. Prioritization and differentiation of applications on the network using different

Classes of Service (CoS). With emphasis on availability of Business critical traffic

like SAP, Video and Voice traffic from Telepresence or unified messaging

applications and also Voice from centrally hosted IPBX and Legacy PBX that

exists within the NNPC network.

3. Scope of Work

3.1 Required Service

The proposed implementation shall be entirely service based; the bidder is expected to

own and provide the required Fiber Optics and radio links to the regional offices

backhauling the traffic to the head office. NNPC shall provide appropriate connecting

ヮﾗｷﾐデゲデﾗデｴW WAN Pヴﾗ┗ｷSWヴげゲｷﾐゲデ;ﾉﾉWS C┌ゲデﾗﾏWヴ ESｪW ふCEぶ CｷゲIﾗ Rﾗ┌デWヴゲ ;デ W;Iｴ location. The solution should allow for pool of bandwidth to ensure end to end quality

of service (Qos).

a. Network Infrastructure: All Sites shall be able to directly connect to any other

site over the MPLS network. (Full-mesh connectivity is desired.)


b. Installation of dual links at class 1 and 2 sites to guarantee 99% availability of

service

c. Termination of links on two (2) separate managed Customer Edge (CE) Cisco

Routers provided by the Service Provider; the managed CE routers will connect to the

NNPC designated Local Network edge device(s) at the respective sites

d. Implement end to end Quality of Service (Qos). This will be implemented after

analyzing the traffic (bulk data, best effort, transactional data, mission critical, call

signaling, voice and Video traffic etc.) for traffic prioritization, congestion management

and avoidance based on NNPC Preference

The project is expected to be completed within 12 weeks.

3.2 Required Bandwidth

The required bandwidth is as follows:

Provision of a dedicated 4xSTM1 bandwidth for MPLS and Internet Service to

interconnect NNPC offices corporate-wide

Please see 2.2 for site classification.

3.3 Network Integration

other VPNs and from the Internet. The Vendor should provide MPLS network that is

completely separate / isolated from that of internet network or Public Domain. The

data sent across the channel should be secured by SSL VPN level security. NNPC will be

having IPSec /GET VPN implemented from its branch / location router to DC/DR

Any other details you feel may be relevant.

iii. The Technical submission shall include the following

S/N Technical Specification for MPLS VPN

(Proofs and Evidences should be submitted)

Complied

(Yes/No)

Please specify the

deviations if any

1 The Service provider MPLS VPN network should

be fully isolated from Internet traffic even if


running on the same core/backbone. It is desired

that same PE Router does not run both customer

MPLS VPN traffic and Internet traffic. The MPLS-

VPN network offered to the NNPC should not

carry any internet routes. Service provider has to

provide network topology showing how internet

is provided on MPLS cloud. (Please note that this

is very important)

2 A separate VPN is to be created only for NNPC

network and in no way the VPN should be shared

with other customers sharing the MPLS

backbone. All routing at MPLS Backbone should

be on Labels and no IP routing is acceptable.

NNPC MPLS Network must be accessible to NNPC

nodes only.

3 The MPLS network should be capable of running

Voice, Video and Data.

4 The LAN IP addresses currently in use in NNPC

locations where MPLS connectivity is proposed

shall continue to be retained by NNPC. The

service provider is to ensure that they configure

MPLS VPN link in such a way that there is no

change in the IP scheme being currently used by

the NNPC.

5 Latency for DC/DR should not exceed 75 ms.

For other locations/sites should not exceed 100

ms when tested with a ICMP packet size of 1024

Bytes. The jitter should not exceed 20 ms. The

packet drop should not be more than 1 in 1

million.

6 Various MPLS-VPN configurations made for the

NNPC's VPN by the service provider should be

shared with the Corporation. The service

provider should also allow audit of the same by

NNPC AQ team. Any high and medium risk

Vulnerabilities pointed out by the QA team

should be immediately rectified by the service

provider.

7 The service provider should ensure that major

security features against attacks as mentioned

below are implemented in their network:

Protection against all kinds of attacks including

DOS attacks, SYN attacks, smurf attacks etc.

Protection against all kinds of spoofing like VPN

spoofing/IP spoofing etc.


8 The service provider should run industry

standard QoS/CoS and Traffic Engineering

services in the MPLS backbone and the service

provider should configure Qos/CoS as per

NNPC筈ゲヴWケ┌ｷヴWﾏWﾐデｷﾐデｴWｷヴﾐWデ┘ﾗヴﾆく

9 Proper Change management procedure must be

maintained for all the configuration changes

done for/affecting the NNPC MPLS VPN. The

same should be made available to the

Corporation immediately/ on demand. All

configuration changes should be traceable. All

such changes should be carried out with prior

permission from the NNPC.

10 The service provider must provide the MPLS links

to NNPC that must be on any to any route

topology i.e.,

All of the NNPCs sites/Locations should be

reachable to each other through MPLS network

of the service provider and without having to

touch NNPCs Core at DC/DR Site.

11 NNPC will not be responsible for installation of

any telecommunication infrastructure

equipment like RF Antenna, Mast, MUX, Modem

etc. at any site and if required the same should

be provided/installed by the service provider.

Cost involved for the same should be borne by

the service provider. NNPC at the most will

provide space and power to modem/equipment

that may be required to implement the

connectivity.

12 The proposed bandwidth for NNPC must be

dedicated (1:1) at each site and on dedicated

ports.

The MPLS VPN links should be available in full

duplex mode which must be demonstrated to

NNPC.

13 The Core MPLS backbone of service provider

covering at least all the metros in Nigeria should

be fully meshed. In addition to the core, the

other part of MPLS backbone of the service

provider covering all their POPs mentioned as

above should have minimum mesh for full

redundancy. The service provider should have


minimum of 10Gbps core MPLS bandwidth.

Network diagram/architecture along with

undertaking/evidence is required to be provided

as a proof by the service provider.

Any other details you feel may be relevant.

iv. Solution Design

The bidder shall describe its proposed solution design based on

specification requirements defined in the project scope of work. The

solution design shall be presented in segments including:

Network Topology Design, Implementation design up to the customer

premises;

Network Management Solution, including strategy for providing access to

NNPC for monitoring purposes

Detailed Work plan stating details of task to be done and project

methodology

Project Communication plan, with emails, and phone number of various

escalation levels.

Detailed equipment support/Warranty and replacement plan

v. Post-Implementation Maintenance Plan

The bidder shall define its post-implementation support plans including

maintenance schedules, escalation matrix, and availability of customer

service support.
