Exploring Possibilities
Question: Is there something that the universities can do together,
with Internet 2, to - save money
- provide new and/or improved services in the region?
Answer (after a few meetings): Absolutely yes!!!
8
What?
• International Network Exchange Point– Provide common point for connection of regional R&E
networks, augmented with select regional leased lines– Single connection point for I2 universities to access
regional R&E networking services
• Co-location Site– Space where universities and Internet2 can locate
equipment in region
9
Benefits
• Big cost savings!– Networking
• Building on I2 international R&E relationships to use R&E links vs. leased lines to the US
– Co-lo. space• Cost sharing
• Regional presence– Neutral location for data storage, hosting computer
services (lower latency), hosting networking services

Service Requirements for International Co-Location
Highest Priority• High availability• Non-restrictive customs/import Policy and Procurement• Dedicated Connectivity
– Path Diversity
• Academic Freedom ("Full Participation")• Shared Values,
– Stability, Scalability, Favorable data privacy environment
• Varied service offerings.– Layer 2 or 3
• Flexibility to respond to changing market/carrier conditions
High Priority• Multi-Lingual Support• Explicit Cost or Quality Benefits• Common Management ("Coalition")• Enabling Mobility
12
• Good service/low-cost• Aggressively low pricing, but sustainable model• Maximize flexibility for users of the space• Open to the R&E community and their service providers• User Voice to Influence Running of the Co-Lo./Exchange• Sustain space for the long haul• Partner with a leading established vendor in the area in
which the site will be located to provide space, services• Operated at a GLIF GOLE.
Goals for a combined International (Regional) Co-Lo./Exchange Point

Co-location & Exchange PointsInternational Summary
• There are multiple functions for this facility, – Co-location – Layer 3 – Advanced Layer 2 Services exchange.
• This exchange will operate as a GOLE:– Defined as a GLIF Open Lightpath Exchange
• Essentially policy free.– Open to everyone.– Supportive of dynamic and static layer 2 services– Potential for using Open Flow
• What are some of the factors to consider in choosing a location?– Open access for carriers– Reasonable cost and accessibility

Exchange Points• Flexibility to Respond to Changing Market
Conditions, New Carriers, New R&E Links• Commitment to sustain space for the long haul• Make Cost Structure Simple and Transparent
24
Proposed Per Campus Costs vsCost to “Go it Alone”.
• Expected savings: 2x to 3x
