Why Are We Doing This?
• Our goal is to build networking capacity to support Research and Education– Remember: University = Research & Education
• The end game is regional, national, and larger Research and Education Networks (RENs)
• All RENs start with campus networks – they are the foundation of the REN

Why Focus on Campus Networks?
• The Campus Network is the foundation for all Research and Education activity
• Without a good campus network, the Research and Education Network can’t work as well as it should
• Ad-hoc campus networks work OK with VSAT uplinks, but moving to high speed external links, they start to fail.

Why Focus on Campus Networks?
• Your campus network is the foundation that all services are provisioned on
• Ad hoc networks just don’t work well. They are unreliable and hard to maintain.
• If you don’t have a plan, how will you know where are going?

What are Our Goals?
• Network Design Goals– Reliability/Resiliency– Performance– Manageability
• Must have this to find problems and viruses
– Scalability• Need to be able to grow as needs grow
• Need this in the campus and the REN

REN Topics
• A look at USA NRENs
• How does this relate to Africa
• NREN IP Transport Models
• Technical Requirements for campus networks and NRENs

Why a REN?
• Enable research or services that could not be accomplished otherwise
• Cost Savings (buyers club)– Aggregate demand from multiple parties
• Vision of building alliances
• Successful RENs find that there are unanticipated benefits

The Key to Internet2 is the Regional
• Internet2 doesn’t connect individual campus networks
• Internet2 connects to Regional Networks– Regional RENs, in USA, we call them
Regional Optical Networks or RONs
• The Regional Networks provide connections to campus networks
![Page 13: Campus Network Best Practices: Introduction and NREN Models Dale Smith University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@nsrc.org This document is a result of work by the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc81a28abf838ca82d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
USA Regional Networks
• Often they cover a single state
• Regionals are similar, but different– Legal Status
• Approx 50% are legal non profit• Approx 40% are housed at a University
– Startup Funding• Most obtained funding from State Government
![Page 14: Campus Network Best Practices: Introduction and NREN Models Dale Smith University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@nsrc.org This document is a result of work by the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc81a28abf838ca82d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
USA Regional Networks
• Staffing– Range in size from 1 to 110 employees– RONs associated with Universities frequently
used University back-office functions
• Network Operations– All provided 24x7 monitoring– Only half provided staffed 24x7 NOC– Over 40% outsource NOC functions
• ¾ of those who outsourced used University member

USA Regional Networks
• Services– All provided IP transport to Internet2– Not all provide commodity Internet access– Many provide other services
• Video Conferencing• VoIP• Business Continuity/disaster recovery services• Email hosting• Web hosting• Data center space
![Page 16: Campus Network Best Practices: Introduction and NREN Models Dale Smith University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@nsrc.org This document is a result of work by the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc81a28abf838ca82d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
USA Regional Networks
• Pricing/Cost Recovery– State Government funded– Member funded
• Some split costs evenly among members• Others had tiered pricing
– Most who provided “other” services charged specifically for that service
• Customer base– Most serve more than Universities
![Page 17: Campus Network Best Practices: Introduction and NREN Models Dale Smith University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@nsrc.org This document is a result of work by the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc81a28abf838ca82d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How does this relate to Africa?
• How might Africa Connect or WACREN influence connectivity in the region?– Could it be the regions Internet2?– That would mean the country NREN would be
similar to the USA Regional Networks
• Will some countries need to have regional networks?– How would regional networks in a country
connect to each other and to WACREN?

NREN IP Network
• Two basic models:– Peering network
• Exchange traffic between members• Provide international connections (GEANT, etc)• Can peer with a local commercial exchange
(Google, local ISPs, etc)
– REN provides all Internet connectivity• REN is the ISP• In this case, REN also provides peering network

Introduction to Peering
• Exchange of Customer traffic (not transit)
• Peering requires sophisticated route selection techniques
• This is done with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP is the acronym)
• Every BGP speaker must have a unique Autonomous System Number (ASN)– An ASN is typically assigned per network
![Page 24: Campus Network Best Practices: Introduction and NREN Models Dale Smith University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@nsrc.org This document is a result of work by the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfc81a28abf838ca82d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Requirements of Members
• REN is Peering Network– Each member still has their own ISP– Each member must have ASN and run BGP
• REN provides all Internet connectivity– Simplest for campus members– No ASN or BGP required at campus level

Requirements of NRENs
• All NRENs must have their own ASN
• All NRENs must run BGP to external peers
• All NRENs should have provider independent IP address space
