NLR Going ForwardNLR Going Forward
• Currently requesting a one year commitment from each Class A & B member
• FRGP conditions: Investor Status, Class A membership, Critical Mass of Class A & B members recommit (9 or 10 of 14 total)
NLR FutureNLR Future• Funded through 12/31/08 with current commitments (some expire
6/30/08 and some 6/30/09)• Erv Blythe (Chair of I2 BoD) report to Network Policy Council
(EDUCAUSE CIOs):– NLR has several future paths, ranging from the spectacularly rich and
positive on the one extreme, to the folding of the endeavor on the other extreme
• Expect one of the middle paths to prevail:– a major subset of the members continue to support the current model, including
developing the capital to begin an upgrade of the infrastructure, or– a major player steps forward with the commitment of capital for a major upgrade, with
new application requirements, and with new revenues to enable the subsidization and preservation of a significant, protected R&E part of an expanded infrastructure
– Emphasized under any future scenario, expected an absolute commitment to maintaining control of the IRU's for the benefit of broad R&E and economic development interests
– Stressed NLR’s desire to work in a complementary and non-competitive way with I2
– Do not believe that either the NLR or the I2 Boards would be willing to look again at merger in the next couple of years.
I2/NLR ServicesI2/NLR Services
• Provisioning for all services– NLR via owned fiber and hardware at marginal pricing– I2 via leased Level3 services at lower than Level3
pricing
• Layer 1– 10Gbps lambdas
• NLR via owned fiber at marginal pricing• I2 via leased Level3 services at lower than Level3 pricing• Both testing optical switching
• Layer 2– 1/10Gbps VLANs
I2/NLR Services Cont’dI2/NLR Services Cont’d
• Layer 3– NLR members connect at 10Gbps as part of
$1M fee• Back-up via FrameNet as part of cost
– I2 connect at 1/10Gbps per fee schedule• Back-up via 2x10 service via dynamic wave
• Conditions of Use– None NLR– SEGP, Sponsored Participant, etc. on I2
I2/NLR Services Cont’dI2/NLR Services Cont’d
• Peering– NLR provides infrastructure for TransitRail
• $200K/year for TransitRail service at 2Gbps
– I2 provides peering via Abilene connection• Not free in the sense that you may have to buy
bigger pipe to support peering
