Managed Bandwidth (SJ5 UKLight)

• SuperJANET5 has the capability to provision
  wavelengths at 10Gbit/s, and 40Gbit/s in the
  future
• UKLight infrastructure will be migrated to
  SuperJANET5 to provide a flexible platform for
  provisioning of 1Gbit/s (and smaller) wavelengths
• For RNOs connected to UKLight the connection to
  SuperJANET5 will be via the 10Gbit/s bandwidth
  channel wavelength for development
• For those RNOs that dont have a UKLight
  connection UKERNA will work with them to
  determine how best to make use of the 10Gbit/s
  bandwidth channel wavelength

International Managed Bandwidth

• GEANT is providing managed bandwidth services at
  1Gbit/s and 10Gbit/s under the GEANT umbrella
• DANTE also developing intercontinental extensions
  to the service
• UKLight connection to NetherLight to be replaced
  with GEANT provisioning. Replacement of the
  connection to Starlight will also be examined

JANET Managed Bandwidth Policy Aims

• Any policy developed now will be interim due to
  the developing nature of this service
• Managed bandwidth services will need to be
  provisioned end-to-end all legs nationally and
  internationally therefore need to be considered
• Charging policy If charges made then they should
  be predictable and designed to enable use
• Access policy should also promote use dovetail
  with JANET connection policy

5
JANET Managed Bandwidth Policy thinking

• Access to bandwidth channels upto 1Gbit/s should
  be free at point of use
• Right to refuse a service request if capacity or
  budget exhausted.
• Requests for managed bandwidth granted on a fixed
  term basis.
• Access to bandwidth gt1Gbit/s should be charged
  for.

JANET Managed Bandwidth Industrial research
organisations

• Use of bandwidth channels may be made by
  industrial research organisations
• Existing e-Science policy should be applied.

7
JANET Managed Bandwidth Extension to regional
networks

• Access and charging policies extended to regional
  networks
• Funding regime therefore to be developed within
  the RPAN contract
• Recognised that bandwidth channel provisioning
  will not be universally available

8
JANET Managed Bandwidth Extension to
institutional infrastructures

• A matter for institutions involved
• Any provision of a bandwidth channel is made
  subject to a formal commitment by the host
  institutions

9
Options for implementation of Managed Bandwidth

• Hard separability / partitioning
• Fibre level
• Wavelength level
• Circuit level
• Soft (statistical) partitioning
• Path/tunnel technique with QoS
• Requirement demand underpins the technical
  approach
