E3D network

Costing, detailed design

  • LLB has reviewed elements of detailed design
  • LLB has reviewed and aggregating costing
  • The design has a number of "pollutant" from general network wishes and NREN or NORDUnet level
  • HOWEVER, we have enough input that we can calculate a ballpark figure for the part E3D should pay for.
  • Teemu: we should include also additional manpower cost
  • Cost is 250k€ / yr

Principles

  • We ask E3D to pay for additional fibre and additional equipment
  • We cost based on only the service E3D need (i.e., 1 channel one fibre, 10GE, etc)
  • We may build with additional facilities to enable additional use in the future. Cost of such facilities (i.e., more expensive filters for the optical system

Contract

  • Single between NORDUnet and EISCAT
  • Contract terms not known
  • Upfront fee? There might be a non-recurring cost for fibre. 
  • Or only annual fee. For now, we prefer annual fee.  Duration?  Not shorter than five years, 10 years is fine. 

Next steps

  • Network drawing of E3D part
  • Costing and cost justification for E3D part
  • Background document for E3D
  • Deadline: 7 June 2018
  • F2F meeting w E3D
  • LF to present cost and contract options to the board, ask for advice on risk and terms
  • LF to contact Craig about meeting

NDN Next Gen

  • Quist reviewed the fibre path options. 
  • We have consensus inside the Nordics, and we now where and what the links are
  • We have rough consensus for the international part, er know where we want to be and the options
  • We have reasonable cost understanding. 
  • We have three fundamental options (at different cost)
  • We have some outstanding questions about European links, due to unresolved issues w GÉANT, European NRENs, or vendor cost not yet available. 
  • Qvist will give  consensus presentation to NDN Board.
  • Olaf: it is important to highlight the Nordic consensus process that lead to this
  • Qvist will share board report and presentation with design group
