FramingFraming• Investment vs. Maintenance• Inadequate corporate

solutions in the national market

• Geographical distribution• Insufficient growth when

compared with other NREN.• Availability of a fiber

provider

Goals – A new approach!Goals – A new approach!

• New infrastructure for the long run

• Gain more autonomy towards the market

• Solve the “long lasting”capacity limitations

• Be side by side with the most advanced NREN

• Provide the means for high bandwidth projects and services

Goals – GuidelinesGoals – Guidelines• New and simpler network

design• Ethernet based

– 10GE backbone– Nx1GE access

• Same Control panel for IPv4/IPv6

• Redundancy in the backbone through a provider

• New backbone for the whole network

• Stage I – connecting Lisbon-Braga

ProceduresProcedures

1. Passive fiber network

a. FO for the long distances

b. Local loops using fiber

2. Equipmenta. Transmission (Ethernet).

b. Routing (IP).

ProceduresProcedures

• International tender for long distance cable

• Winner - Refer Telecom (Railway Operator)

• Each local loop with a different approach

• Always trying to use existing pipes

Procedures - TransmissionProcedures - Transmission

• Limited to a public announcement

•Several proposals received

•Second round with best proposals

•Best-and-Final-Offers were asked

•ADVA was chosen

Procedures - RoutingProcedures - Routing• Similar to the

transmission, without a public announcement

• Several proposals received

• Second round with best proposals

• Best-and-Final-Offers were asked

• Cisco was chosen

Long Distance cable – FeaturesLong Distance cable – Features

48 Optical fibers from witch:

• 24 x ITU-T G.652C (without water peak)

• 24 x ITU-T G.655

Long Distance Cable – Tests madeLong Distance Cable – Tests made

Tested:• Spectral attenuation• Chromatic dispersion• Polarization Modal

Dispersion• Reflectometry

attenuation• Insertion loss

Long Distance Cable – FeaturesLong Distance Cable – Features

• Dialectical central strength member: fiberglass

• 5 loose tubes – 4 with 12 fibers each

• Water resistant• Anti-rodent armouring• Complies with crushing,

tension and temperatures specifications

Cable - curiositiesCable - curiosities

• Mean attenuation of 0.21dB/Km

• Can connect 150Kms with with nothing-in-line

Access Local LoopsAccess Local Loops

Strategy:• use existing pipes• establish partnerships

with pipe owners• always have a ring

topology

Developing:– Aveiro, Braga, Coimbra, Lisbon

and Porto;

Access Local Loops - DifficultiesAccess Local Loops - Difficulties

• To coordinate all involved entities to meetings and surveys.

• Unexpected events on-site

CEF Networks workshop 2005 – [email protected] 18

Transmission SolutionTransmission Solution• Minimalist approach -

several distinct point-to-point solutions;

• Intelligence and services on the IP level

• The transmission is just the 10GE and 2GE access links

• Solution -> ADVA Optical

Routing EquipmentRouting Equipment

Cisco Equipment• 1 router in Lisbon• 1 router in Porto• 1 router backup/test

router• 10G Lan-Phy XENPAK

ports• 1G SFP ports

CEF Networks workshop 2005 – [email protected] 20

Routing – TopologyRouting – Topology• Dual star topology (Lisbon

and Porto)• Network “intelligence” on

the IP level• No more core/edge design

for the fiber connections (economical reasons)

• Fully redundant equipment• Lisbon-Porto backup link

from a commercial provider

FCCN -Lisboa

Management and operation – TNMS COREManagement and operation – TNMS CORE

TNMS-CORE from Siemens:• Integrated management• Centralized monitoring and

configuration • End-to-end connection

management• Alarm and error

monitoring• Performance

management

Page 22: Optical Fiber Project

CEF Networks workshop 2005 – [email protected] 22

Management and Operation – ApproachManagement and Operation – Approach

• Monitoring using another fiber pair with passive transceivers

• Ethernet switches directly connected to the transmission equipment

• Non usage of dedicated cards/equipment

IP ServicesIP Services• Migration of current IP

services to the new backbone:– IPv4/IPv6 Unicast and Multicast– R&D e .COM Classes of

Service• Offer new and richer

classes of service• Study the possibility of

having VPNs

Other Connections – Phase IIOther Connections – Phase II

• Consulting market again in 2005.

• New advanced solutions of renting fiber, lambdas, GE and FE

• Redundancy solution for the backbone, through a national ring
