Campus Best PracticeTask Objective
Address key challenges for the European campus networksImportant areas of focus:
– Physical infrastructure– Campus network– Wireless infrastructure– Light paths on campus
Challenge NRENs to reinforce their national effortsThe NREN should be a fascilitator that stimulates collaboration between the ”campus guys” at the university level and with the NREN itselfGet working groups up and runningProvide an evolving and to-the-point set of best-practice documents for the community.
Ambitious? 34 NRENs in GEANT… 4000 campus networks… 40,000,000 users…
Network challenges on campus

EARNEST Report on Campus Issues
connect • communicate • collaborate
Earnest report on campus issues Published January 2008
52 recommendations regarding issues on campusVery congruent with the Campus Best Practice work plan
Recommendation #12:“Strengthen the collaboration between National Research and Education Networking organisations and institutions to improve the deployment of key services”
Better synchronization of national research networking and campus issues is essential for viable end-to-end services.

EARNEST Report on Campus IssuesOn infrastructure and services
Set aggressive replacement policies for equipment with a maximum life expectancy of five years.
Adopt institution-wide specifications for networking infrastructure, including elements controlled by departments or faculties.
Ensure seamless end-to-end connectivity where a particular quality of service is required.
Provide support and training for performance optimisation, especially to the research community.

EARNEST Report on Campus Issues On Security
Adopt security measures that are appropriate for the purpose and do not hinder the effective use of the network.
Establish an institution-wide security team with a high degree of independence.
connect • communicate • collaborate
EARNEST Report on Campus Issues On Collaboration
Establish strong, formalised arrangements for collaboration with other management domains, e.g., NRENs, intermediate networks, other institutions.
Encourage network teams to share their expertise with colleagues in other management domains.

EARNEST Report on Campus Issues On Raising awareness and training
A cultural change in networking is taking place with the emphasis moving from providing connectivity to providing network-related services. To speed up this change of focus, institutions should:
provide training courses and good-quality documentation for end-users to raise awareness of the network services available and promote their use, including videoconferencing, multicast, video broadcasting, video-on-demand, voice-over-IP telephony;
Make arrangements for network support teams to retrain in order to keep up-to-date with fast-changing technologies.

The Norwegian GigaCampus project
connect • communicate • collaborate
Norwegian GigaCampus
Four years of experience with GigaCampus (2006-2009)
Have working groups in 7 areas operational
Have made 20++ best practice documents (but in Norwegian…)
Have run 25 national procurement processes
Routers, switches, wireless, servers, storage, printers, A/V, telephony, ADSL, software
Have rolled out network monitoring and management solutions on over 30 campuses

Physical Infrastructure BPDs
Common requirements for:1. Cabling (fibre and twisted pair)2. Data centers and network rooms3. Power supply (incl. UPS and
generators)4. Ventilation and cooling 5. Fire detection and distinction
All major universities have participated in the workThe requirements are coordinated with building owners and will be used in future building projectsExisting campus infrastructure is inspected by GigaCampus. Reports/improvement lists with estimated costs are produced.

GigaCampus tool boxes Managing 31 campuses
The tool boxes are servers containing a number of management tools:
NAV: Proactive network management nfsen: Netflow traffic analysis Hobbit: Service monitoring tftp server, syslog server, radius server
The tool boxes are placed on campus and used by the local IT staff.
Management, tool enhancements, software upgrades, etc, is done by UNINETT.
Free training in tool usage is given.

Campus Best PracticeWork plan
Translate existing GigaCampus material to English
Focus initially (first two years) on getting results within the four pilot countries (Norway, Finland, The Czech republic, Serbia)
Organize national working groups and national workshopsProduce BPDs – on the national level – in the local tongueTranslate BPDs to English when mature
As the results and recommendations (BPDs) from the countries of the pilot NRENs become available, they will be actively disseminated to the wider European NREN and campus communities.
Available on http://gn3campus.uninett.no The task will provide a bulletin board for BPD contributions from other countries as well.
We are planning open campus issues workshops later in the program period.

Campus Best Practice Subtasksi.e. Areas of Focus
We have defined 9 subtasks / areas:
1. Basic infrastructure
2. A/V
3. LAN infrastructure and IPv6
4. Light path service
5. Wireless
6. Network monitoring
7. SIP and IP telephony
8. Security
9. Procurement
Not all four pilot countries contributing to all subtasks

Project results?
A bit early…
Each country has made a two year plan
Current focus on:
Organizing working groups
Preparing for writing best practice documents
We will have cross-country workshops
First one on network monitoring in Belgrade in October

Norwegian campus focus ahead
Translate existing Norwegian BPDs to English, making them available to the GEANT communityContinue work on:
ProcurementsDeveloping network monitoring solutionsWorking groups producing new BPDs
Particular focus areas from 2010-2014:Security on campus.
– Security policy in place. – Security architecture implemented. – Risk and Vulnerability Assessments– Disaster Recovery Planning.
IPv6 transition on all campuses– IPv4 sold out
Rolling out a national SIP infrastructure– Migrating POTS to SIP on campus
…and: eCampus Norway with infrastructure for the lecturer

GN3 Campus Best PracticeIn summary
Our ambitionGet national campus coordination efforts going
Initially in the participating pilot countries
Produce national BPDs
Disseminate results from the national level to the European scene
ChallengesCultural differences…
Small countries vs big countries…
Red tape / administrative overhead…
