12. China – JP Link

13. Link upgrades & Plan Beijing-Tokyo link was upgraded from 10Mbps into 45Mbps in November, 2003. But the link is almost fully used, and the further upgrade is expected. Hong Kong – Tokyo link is the cost-effective s olution, and NICT is studying to install the link of 2.4Gbps. APAN-JP will peer with both CERNET and C STNET in Hong Kong. TANET2 and HARNE T will join the peerings later on.

46. Australia

47. Key Strategic Alliances with Powerlink (North Queensland) and TransGrid (NSW) – power utility companies that provided fibre to regional areas – resulted in gigabit capacity where not previously economically feasible with Australian Government and the Australian Research and Educ ation Network Initiative (AREN) – provided funding to catalyse key r egional initiatives with Southern Cross on SXTransPORT with Leightons (construction company – 2 fibre pairs across Australia as basis for AARNet3 and regional gigabit connectivity (eg to remote telescopes) with AUSAID (Australian Aid Agency) to provide a connection from the Fiji Campus of the University of the South Pacific to AARNet an d global R&E networks

48. Gigabit capacity within Australia – challenges and solutions Poor response to request to carriers to make dark fibre available –Solution: use AARNets carrier licence to carry out civil works to lay our own fibre –Generally only needed to do once in any area after this some players willing to sell/lease dark fibre Poor response from traditional carriers for high capacity connectivity to regional areas –Solution: form strategic alliances with power utilities for mutual benefit –Now have affordable gigabit capacity in North Queensland and inland NSW Tasmania, an island state south of Melbourne, monopoly carrier, no affordable high capacity option –Solution: form strategic alliance with State govt, gas pipeline group to deploy alternative undersea cable capacity

49. Grasp the rare opportunities - NextGen Both of the two new fibre build initiatives in Australia went into receivership in 2003 One of these (NextGen) had a footprint of fibre that was of great interest to AARNets clients (the universities, research bodies, especially the astronomers) AARNet made a bid in its own right initially, but ended up partnering with the construction company that built the network (Leightons) Concluded agreement on Christmas eve after a 5 months process Provides 2 fibre pairs Australia wide (Brisbane to Perth) 1st pair lit as 10 Gbps for inter-capital trunks 2nd pair equipped by APL as regional fibre loops Access to space in all capital city central offices and controlled environment vaults (huts) along the routes

50. AARNets Australian Network

51. Overview - International Links Add drop offs to existing STM-1/OC3 (155Mbps ) –Mixed traffic - R&E and Commodity –University of South Pacific, Fiji –Possibly Auckland, New Zealand –Connects to 155Mbps path to Tokyo from Hawaii Dual STM-4 (622Mbps) –Commodity Internet transit - NTT/Verio and MCI –PAIX Palo Alto –Los Angeles SX TransPORT - Dual STM-64 (10Gbps) –Research and Education (R&E) traffic only - AUP –Hawaii - Manoa and Seattle (Abilene, CA*net 4, NLR) –Los Angeles (Abilene, TransPac, CENIC, CUDI) –Look to add Mauna Kea to Los Angeles path later

52. Dual 155Mbps circuits – regional and Pacific Island connectivity 4-drop ring (4 unprotected circuits, MPLS, fast failover) –Sydney-Suva (new) –Suva-Oahu (Hawaii) – and then to U Hawaii, Manoa –Oahu-Hillsboro – and then to Pacific Wave, Seattle –Hillsboro-Sydney AUSAID to provide funding for the University of the Sout h Pacific to contract AARNet to provide connections to AARNet and the global R&E Networks (monopoly carrie r issues) Interconnect at Hawaii with new Hawaii –Tokyo link USPNet to other Pacific Islands to be upgraded later Possible connection of NZ later

53. AARNETs Pacific Rim Network

54. Dual 622Mbps circuits – commodity traffic Access Commodity Internet in Palo Alto –Connected to the PAIX peering fabric –Obtain transit from MCI and NTT/Verio –Peer with other organisations at PAIX Add second commodity POP in Los Angeles –Need to determine –data centre location –backhaul from Morro Bay (San Luis Obispo) –transit providers, at least one in common with Palo Alto site
