Positioning Services
GÉANT benefits multiple disciplines, from Big Science projects such as the Large Hadron Collider through telemedicine and earth observation to the arts and cultural projects
Goal: To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible and scalable production quality services via the constituent NRENs
GÉANT Service Area – a network of networks that spans the backbone and the national networks
connect • communicate • collaborate
Services have a lifecycle
Old way to do services
Make it work, declare service, tidy up afterwards
Not expectations-proof
Operationally painful
Hard to scale
Collaboratively delivered services in NREN community
Protect innovative reputation but be useful
Design with operations in mind
Standards for technology, why not standards/agreements for service?
– Service Architecture (2B)
– Network Management Architecture (8A)

Multidomain Wavelengths
Use case
Transferred data volume is typically high
Between clearly defined locations and lasting for a long period of time
Traffic should be separated
1Gbps, 2.5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s
Implications on multiplexing
Footprint/cabability dependent
Ethernet and SDH data transport
Service parameters described for demarcation points
User access
Inter-domain

Multidomain Wavelength Challenges
Long setup time
Procurement of infrastructure
Cost overhead
Adoption of tools and automation to ensure provisioning is competitive, despite complex operational environment
– I-SHARe, AutoBAHN?
Service Levels
Technical challenges in measurement/calculation of transmission delay
Access and accounting
User oriented but operationally possible

Multidomain Bandwidth on Demand
Goal: deliver dedicated, flexible capacity virtual network capabilities, through user-driven, easily and efficiently provisioned dynamic circuit services.
Initial target group: NREN NOCs
Co-design with Internet2, Esnet, CANARIE, USLHCnet
Point-to-point, bidirectional Ethernet Transport Service
Transport and service functions
Any technology providing requested functionality can be used
Service parameters described for demarcation points
– User access
– Inter-domain
IDC protocol -> supported by AutoBAHN
