OSC Networking
December 12, 2007
Backbone Update
• Closing of ring 4 AEP has to move POP in
Huntington WVA, will move turnup out to
March 08
• Gigabit portals at POPs with State Columbus,
Cleveland and Dayton Turned up
• Baldwin Wallace, Clark State, Lake Erie UNO,
Zane State (almost), Washington State are on
service
Backbone Update
• Current Gateways are running at 61% Average;
80% median
• Total utilization is peaking ~5 Gbps
• Getting additional bandwidth from Level3
• Additional Bandwidth needed for full protection
• Looking at re-aggregating as BGP management
is becoming troublesome
Backbone Update
• Newnet peering connection spiked on Nov 29
@ 2.2 Gbps
• Additional increases will require additional
bandwidth
Backbone Update
• Upgrades to backbone are ongoing
• Adding 10 Gbps on several links
– Ring 1 will be fully 10 Gig
– Ring 0 will be fully 10 Gig
• Adding 2 new Juniper M120 routers
– Both are now operational
Partners
• Leveraging portals with state
• Current Phase 0 implementation has State
connecting to OSCnet routers but at layer 2
only, VLAN and MPLS back haul; ongoing
• Phase 1 operational plans are being worked
on
New Directions
• Merit interconnect update - Fiber splice date
allegedly today 12/12/07
• Will light with 10 GigE
• Will share port with NewNet
New Directions
• Pittsburgh connection gear is here
• Youngstown side done
• Still waiting on power resolution on Pitt side
• PSC is moving POP
I2 and NLR update
• Same old stuff
New Management Tools
• Looking at ADVA for etherjack product
• Includes IEEE 802.3ah, 802.1 ag, and ITU Y.1731

Service/Connectivity OAM
•
NID or NTE required at customer handoff for OAM
– Analogous to smartjack, CSU/DSU or NTE for frame relay
•
Link OAM (EFM - IEEE 802.3ah) is necessary but not sufficient
