Key features of the BoD service

End-to-end circuits with deterministic characteristics (in particular bandwidth)

Automatically provisioned and user-controlled

Tool independent: NRENs can use the technology of their choiceFor example for provisioning circuits: AutoBAHN (used by most NRENs), OSCARs, OpenDRACBut also for other aspects: monitoring, AAI, etc.

Conceived as a service and not only as a technological solution: Agreements on cost sharing, support, PR & Marketing, etc.

About to be launched after a pilot phase by 9 European NRENs For more info, have a look at the website: http://www.geant.net/service/BoD/pages/home.aspx

Challenges in the transition to service

Multi-domain services require multi-domain agreements

Deployment in very different environments: different technologies and different vendors

Outreach to end-users and use-cases not always mapping the deployment of the service

Some features difficult to implement: monitoring, AAI

Interoperability issues: IDCP not supported by all provisioning systems; hope for the NSI
