  1. Schools networks • England • RBC interconnection • Scotland • LA interconnection (?) and transit • Wales • LLNW interconnection and transit UK MAN Managers' Group

  2. Regional Broadband Consortia • Cumbria Lancashire Education Online • East Midlands Broadband Project • East of England Regional NGfL Broadband Consortium • London Grid for Learning • North West Learning Grid • Northern Grid for Learning • South East Grid for Learning • South West Grid for Learning • West Midlands Broadband Project • Yorkshire and Humberside Community Grid for Learning UK MAN Managers' Group

  3. Context • Use of > 2 Mbps FEC links to MAN • particularly LES 2/10/100 • need for upgrade options for FECs • England only • Scotland, Wales: central initiatives with extra funds to RNOs • Northern Ireland: no MAN (yet) UK MAN Managers' Group

  4. Context … continued • FEC needs to be seen to pay for more than 2 Mbps to JANET • FEC  UKERNA  RNO £ flow must be self-funding • need to offer upgrades that are attractive to FECs - amount and price • Need reasonably simple scheme UK MAN Managers' Group

  5. LES 2/10 vs 2 Mbps serial • Use of LES 2/10 to reduce access cost • where cheaper than 2 Mbps serial links • RNO decision • RNO has freedom to police to 2 Mbps (in routers if it wants) • “benefit” to RNO: better management of telecomms. budget UK MAN Managers' Group

  6. Upgrade to 4 Mbps • FEC requests > 2 Mbps to JANET • request made to UKERNA (as provider of Primary Connection) • 2  2 Mbps implementation: payment to RNO as already established • LES 2/10 implementation: propose notional transit payment at £1,274 per Mbps • RNO can police to 4 Mbps if wishes UK MAN Managers' Group

  7. Upgrade to 10 Mbps • Only where LES2/10 available • propose addition to funding model:access based on BT tariff, plus transit assume 7 Mbps max. effective throughput additional £6,370 transit contribution UK MAN Managers' Group

  8. Upgrade to 100 Mbps • Same model as for LES2/10 • access based on BT LES100 tariff • but transit based on JANET bandwidth agreed with FEC • MAN free to police through router • contractual proviso on FEC to purchase more bandwidth if it persistently runs above agreed amount on access link UK MAN Managers' Group

  9. High bandwidth FEC connections to MAN • … but not to JANET • e.g. for local collaborations, with high intra-MAN traffic flows • do we need to cater for this? • if so propose to make it the RNO’s responsibility to negotiate prices and to keep traffic to JANET to contracted level UK MAN Managers' Group

  10. Multi-site FEC connections • Propose to leave at MAN’s discretion whether to provide and at what price • where so, treat (largest site of) highest bandwidth connection(s) as the Nominated Connection UK MAN Managers' Group
