Introduction

StanNet : Infrastructure StanNet : Services StanNet : Exploitation and operating team

Lothaire : A WAN for MAN and sites

Conclusion


Introduction

From national, through regional to metropolitan network

: national network : regional network

: metropolitan network


Introduction

: National telecommunications network for Technology, Education and Research « Internet service provider » for the Universities in

France interconnects 27 « regions » of France

together to the Internet through 4 points (STAR TAP, TEN155 and 2

transatlantic links)


Introduction

: Le réseau LOrrain de Télécommunications à Haut débit pour les Applications Informatiques de la Recherche et de l’Enseignement supérieur High bandwidth telecommunication network of Lorraine

for research and academic computer applications « Internet service provider » for the Universities in

Lorraine interconnects 2 MAN (StanNet and AmpereNet) and 32

smaller peripheral points together to the Internet through the interconnection to Renater

composed of :a high bandwith ATM backbone leased lines


Introduction

: Stanislas Network the metropolitan academic network of Nancy interconnects 19 establishments -spread over 45

sites- : together to the regional network and to the Internet through

Lothaire a « private large campus network » built around :

a Gigabit Ethernet backbonedoubled by

an ATM backbone


Content

Introduction



Conclusion


StanNet : Infrastructure

StanNet : a « private large campus network »

« private » ? financed and operated by and for the Universities of

Nancy optical fibers are owned by the Universities

« large campus network » ? about 120km of optical fiber cables in the streets of the

city 19 establishments spread over 45 sites 4 main routers, 165 switches (6 GE, 5 ATM, 154 Ethernet) 230 class C network and 250 VLAN serves a community of about 50 000 users (students,

faculty, researchers …)

120km of optical fibers



StanNet : a double backbone, Gigabit Ethernet – ATM

The backbone is powered by : 4 high-end core Gigabit Ethernet switches/routers

providing bandwith from 100Mb/s to 1Gb/susing VLAN technology and central routing transporting mainly IPv4 traffic

4 ATM switches with OC-3 interfacesproviding maximum bandwith up to 155Mb/sallowing the configuration of dedicated virtual channels/paths transporting specific traffic – IP over ATM, IPv6, telephone

traffic, … -

Extensibility and flexibility of the infrastructure

A new client construction of a new fiber path –if necessary- easily

done (strategic location of converging points) deployment of a new switch connected to the

backbone creation of a new VLAN –if necessary- central routing of this new VLAN on the backbone

An existing client : migration or extension to another site optional deployment of a new switch transport of the VLAN to the new site


Content

Introduction



Conclusion


StanNet : Services

Network services IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity within the MAN, and to the

Internet extensibility and scalability of LAN with VLAN security inter-VLAN with ACL (Access Control Lists) and

central routing support of specific traffic from Renater : IPv6, multicast,

…

System services : classic Internet services DNS : StanNet domain management e-mail : e-mail box management (for certain sites) Web : web hosting (for certain sites) News : providing news service for StanNet


Content

Introduction



Conclusion


StanNet : Exploitation and operating team

StanNet network and system services are managed : by a team of 5 network engineers and 3 system

engineers

This team is located in the inter-university network/computing resource center

The has some specific missions : provide network and system services guarantee the connectivity and the good health of the

network/system network/system evolution with technological survey

(development, testing)


StanNet : Exploitation and operating team

To provide its mission, the CIRIL Team uses several tools : device configuration (telnet, scripts, web-based

administration) IP and level 2 supervision (netup, traceroute, SNMP) Security configuration (ACL + scripts) Security supervision (ACL + syslog ) traffic metrology and statistics with , a tool

developed by the CIRIL


Content

Introduction



Conclusion



a high bandwidth wide area network provides network transport for 2 MAN and 32 peripheral

sites financed and operated by and for the Universities of

Lorraine entirely operated by the CIRIL and its team of

network/system engineers optical fibers of the ATM backbone are leased from

France Telecom

Lothaire is a regional network, but : it has a « user dimension » it provides the same functionalities as a MAN it’s operated like a MAN

Conclusion


Conclusion

StanNet and Lothaire are networks with a « user dimension » an obvious dimension for a MAN like StanNet a dimension now recognized for Lothaire

Networks and users « lives » are closely linked : users have an effect on networks network exploitation must take care of users requests

An homogeneous operation of the network guarantees this interaction between networks and users the long and successful life of the network
