  1. The SuperJANET4 Project

  2. SuperJANET III • Managed ATM backbone • Core operates at 155 Mbit/s • Service delivery primarily IP • Institutions connect at MANs or PoPs

  3. SuperJANET III • 1.5 - 2 million users • Typical applications 0.5 - 1 Mbit/s • Traffic is London Centric • Contract expires 31st March 2001

  4. Driving force for change • Enrichment of the learning process • Regionalisation of education • Broadening access • Advances in technology • Opening out the network

  5. Future Requirements • SuperJANET4 will connect • 200 HE institutions • 600 FE institutions • Backbone capacity a minimum of 2.5 Gbit/s • National Scope • High capacity to London

  6. Future Requirements • Must support IP • Must allow bandwidth reservation • Some bandwidth partitioning may be required • Will be used to roll out IPV6 Internet2 and other new services • Must evolve

  7. We are interested in • UK wide coverage • Not necessarily from a single supplier • Lit fibre • We’re not a telco

  8. We are interested in • FM arrangements for PoPs • xDSL technology

  9. We are interested in • Off tariff pricing • Solutions not specific technologies • Reliability • Resilience

  10. Project Milestones • Launch formal procurement Dec 1999 • Responses returned by Mid Feb 2000 • BAFO responses by Mid April 2000 • Award contract by End June 2000 • Roll out new network by Mid Dec 2000 • Move service to new network Dec 2000 to Mar 2001

  11. Project activities • requirements analysis and follow-on activities • backbone design, procurement and rollout • definition of MAN/backbone interface • revision of JANET management model

  12. Requirements analysis first call initial analysis ongoing development of requirements input to procurement products ... Aug - Dec ’99 Jan - Jun ’00 Jul - Dec ’00

  13. SJ4 and other JANET changes SJIII upgrades Procurement/roll-out of new regional networks SJ4 definition ... procurement ... roll-out FEFC definition ... roll-out to 400+ colleges Aug - Dec ’99 Jan - Jun ’00 Jul - Dec ’00

  14. Backbone acquisition discussionswith suppliers formal procurement Roll-out by supplier(s) topologydesign contractaward(s) acquireequipment 31 March 2001: SJIII ends study network equipment commissionand test operationalrequirement awareness / training Aug - Dec ’99 Jan - Jun ’00 Jul - Dec ’00

  15. MAN/backbone interface:progress to date • MAN to be delivery mechanism • common standards of service to institution’s door, irrespective of attachment point • set of operational goals agreed • process under way to define standards

  16. Contact points • web site: http://www.superjanet4.net • e-mail list: superjanet4@mailbase.ac.uk • or direct to individual members of the SuperJANET4 team
