MAX Completed a Re-architecture and Expansion
• Upgraded and consolidated layer 3 routers• Removed 3 Juniper M160s (EOLed) at edge pops• Installing 2 Juniper T640s, cutting all customers over.
• Expansion of layer 1 core optical network• Backhaul with redundancy of switches at pops• Top-tier customer optical backhaul from any pop• Integrating second optical dwdm system (Movaz)
• Expansion to new Level 3 pop (NLR) • New dwdm collaboration USM, NetWork MD, JHU
from D.C. campus to Baltimore• Next phase FY ‘06 adds 10G links in core & edge

MAX Production Network Services
• IPv4 unicast, IPv4 multicast, and native IPv6 unicast.
• Internet2 (Abilene network) regional aggregation
• ISP resale (currently Qwest DIA, may add another)
• NGIX/East FedNet peer point operation
• National Lambda Rail (NLR) aggregation and fan-out
• Lambda transport on MAX dwdm optical network

MAX Commodity Internet Service
• Currently Qwest DIA service, resold to any participant for primary or secondary ISP.
• ISP routes kept separate from I2 routes via RFC 2547 MPLS vpns (Separate routing tables, separate peerings)
• 14 participants, 500 mb aggregated and growing, based on Quilt pricing.
• Adding redundant Qwest peering for backup summer 05.

Strong Carrier Partnerships
• With 6 MAX pop locations around region, participants can connect at one or more locations via dark fiber or lit services via aggressive low-cost carriers as well as traditional telcos.
• 80% & growing of participant circuits are ethernet.
• Strong partnerships with carriers:• Allied Telecom, ATT, Fibergate, Level 3, Looking Glass
Networks, MCI, Qwest, Starpower/RCN, Verizon, Yipes.

MAX Operates NGIX/East FedNet Peer Point
• “Meet-me” point (NAP ) for national backbones to exchange east-coast traffic.
• Converted from ATM to GigE 3 years ago.
• Currently Abilene (10 Gb), vBNS (1 Gb), DREN (1 Gb), NISN (1 Gb), NREN (1 Gb), USGS (1 Gb), NLM (1 Gb).
• New NGIX peers summer 05: ESnet and GEANT (first international: 10 Gb)
• NGIX/E will be one of 4 core switches in Atlantic Wave’s distributed peering fabric (fall ‘05)
