Remarks or further information regarding section one:
Section two: NETWORK
In earlier years, we wanted information here about the part of your network where aggregate traffic flows,
not the access circuits. This year, we would like to receive information about the entire network that is
managed by your organisation, excluding links outside your national territory.
2.1
What is the number of PoPs on your network (defined as the number of sites where you
manage routing or switching equipment)?
2.2
What is the number of managed links (that carry production traffic) between PoPs on your
network?
2.3
We would like to get a feeling for the aggregate capacity of your network. Please add the
bandwidth*distance products [in Gbit/s*km] for all your managed links. A rough estimate is
fine.
∑ linki*bandwidth(linki) =
4 / 15
2.4
We would like to know how you would describe your network in bandwidth terms. In other
words, what is the current typical core usable backbone capacity on your network? (Please
don’t count backup links in this.)

Section three: TRAFFIC
In this section, we propose a distinction between different types of traffic by source or destination. Please
take a look at the figure below, which attempts to illustrate the distinctions in terminology.
NREN NETWORK

T1
T3
T2
T4
ALL
EXTERNAL
NETWORKS
CLOUD
T1 – all traffic from customer sites (outbound)
T2 – all traffic to customer sites (inbound)
T3 – all traffic to external network clouds
T4 – all traffic to the NREN backbone
External traffic = all traffic to GÉANT, the Commercial Internet, Internet exchanges, etc. (made up of T3
and T4 above)

Please give us an estimate of the total amount of traffic (in Terabytes 2) in 2004 of two of the
four types of traffic defined in the picture above:
3.1.1 T3 (outbound external traffic):

provide services to other sectors as well, for example because they administer the country-code tld. For the
sake of comparability, we would like to ask you to provide information only about the activities for the
Research or Education communities in your country in this section. For short, we have called these ‘NREN

Remarks or further information regarding section four:
Section five: SERVICES
Detailed information sharing and collaboration is becoming more and more important for many NRENs. The
purpose of the questions in this section is to give interested NRENs a first idea of who is doing what. It can
be used by others as a starting point for a further exchange of information, for example within the
framework of the TERENA Task Forces or the Joint Research Activities in the GN2 project. In this section,
you can provide more information if you have greater interest in a given area and provide less if the area is
of less interest to you.
