2 Technical Pilot

3 Operational Pilot• Production networks are used• Focus on operational and management considerations,

e.g. procedures

4 Service Pilot• Full service is tested • Real use cases are served• Focus on and adjustment to real users requirements

• Technical feasibility tested in NRENs’ test beds• Focus on interoperability and transport at stitching points

5 ToolsAutoBAHN - a GÉANT provided dynamic provisioning toolthat integrates with an NREN's own systems

AutoBAHN features• Automated provisioning of dynamic L2 and L1 circuits

in multi-domain environments• Support for various provisioning technologies: native

Ethernet, SDH, Ethernet over MPLS• Advance reservations• Configurable policies giving the domains the control

over their resources• Interoperability with other BoD systems through DICE

IDC Protocol• User-friendly Client portal for managing the reservations• API access for end users' custom applications

cNIS - a topology information tool that feeds AutoBAHNwith Ethernet and SDH network topology objects. It featuresautomatic network topology discovery.

1 OverviewGoal: provide point-to-point high-bandwidth connectivity for

data transportPhases: three phases over one year to cover different aspects of

the service: technical, operational, service

Capabilities:• Supported networking equipment: Juniper MX480, Juniper

EX, Alcatel MCC 1678 platform, Brocade/Foundry NetIronXMR, DLink 3450

• Technologies: SDH, Ethernet, MPLS• Capacity: up to 10Gbps

Interoperability:• IDCP developed with Internet2 and ESnet• Network Service Interface (NSI) developed in the Open Grid

Forum (long-term future)
