Overview
• Plan was to focus on FrameNet and PacketNet Service• Did do a few WaveNet circuits
• Atlantic Wave, 2 FrameNet, 2 PacketNet, misc others. • All FrameNet and PacketNet bandwidth was allocated
• 40 Gb total - primary and backup links• Hand scheduled, relied on users to honor the specific day
and time assignments. • Monitoring - NLRview
• Phase 1 measurement infrastructure installed• Measured FrameNet and PacketNet bandwidth in and out of
Tampa.

WaveNet Allocation
• 98 WaveNet Circuits (was 94 in 12/06)• ~312 out of 1029 segments allocated
• 30% of the backbone• Avg number of segments per circuit ~ 3
• Busiest Segments - Northern Route• CHIC to STAR - 24 waves or 75%• CHIC to CLEV - 19 waves or 48%• CHIC to DENV - 18 waves or 45%
• Expansion• Adding 15454 chassis on Northern route to accommodate
additional waves• Add capacity between CHIC and STAR
• 24 out of 32 Waves allocated• Investigating additional fiber and equipment

FrameNet Services
• VLANs• Dedicated and non-dedicated bandwidth• Point-to-point or multi-point• Bandwidth increments of 100 Mbps
• Up to full link bandwidth• Additional backbone links are added if dedicated
bandwith exceeds 6 Gbps.
• Redundant non-dedicated VLAN available upon request for dedicated VLANS

17
FrameNet
• Non-dedicated bandwidth • No cost for bandwidth through 2007• Cost for additional port (if you want them)
• 1 GE or 10 GE available
• Service implementation• Close to on demand when port exists
• Annual contracts• Shorter durations are available upon request.
