Basic Information

In this section, please provide information about the entire network that is managed by your organisation, excluding links outside your national territory.
B1. What is the number of PoPs on your network? (A PoP is defined here as a point on the NREN backbone which can connect client networks or aggregations of client networks such as MANs, or external networks.)
13
B2. What is the number of places where you undertake core networking routing?
12
B3. What is the number of managed sites on your network? (i.e. the number of sites where you manage routing or switching equipment)
13
B4. At how many places do you offer optical PoPs?
9
B5. How many of these optical POPs also provide L3 routing?
9
B6. How many circuits (that carry production traffic) do you manage?
10
B7. What is the total kilometric length of dark fibre installed on your network?
60.00
B8. What is the current typical core usable backbone capacity on your network?
1 Gbps in Tbilisi, 5 Mbps in regions

B9. Please provide a list of the operational external IP connections you had at the end of January 2009 (usable links excluding backup links):

Please list each link separately, in the following order:

Direct to GÉANT
Indirectly to GÉANT via the SEEREN or EUMEDCONNECT project or another NREN (please specify each connection - adding as many lines as needed)
Direct to NORDUnet
Direct to other research locations (e.g. other NRENs, CERN, Starlight, Abilene (please specify each connection - adding as many lines as needed)
Direct connections to the Commercial Internet excluding Internet Exchanges (please specify each connection - adding as many lines as needed)
Peerings, connections to Internet Exchanges (please specify each peering - adding as many lines as needed)
Other – Please specify type

To which network	Usable capacity in Mbit/s
GEANT	34.000
Caucasus Online	20.000
Magticom	5.000
Local traffic exchange with all ISPs	1000.000

B10. Please give a descriptive outline of the major initiatives that relate to the development of the underlying network that you might expect to see on your network over the next 2-5 yeras. It would be helpful if you could associate an approximate level of confidence to each of these predictions.

Initiative / Development Expected timeframe (years) Confidence
B11. Approximately how many requests for IPv4 address space did you receive in the last year?
B12. Does your network currently support native IPv6 services?
( )Yes (x)No
B13. If you currently provide native IPv6 when was the service introduced?
B14. If you are planning to provide native IPv6 in future what is the planned introduction date?
2010
B15. How many IPv6 prefixes have you allocated?
0
B16. Does your NREN make the support of IPv6 a mandatory requirement in the procurement of networking equipment
(x)Yes ( )No
B17. Do you currently have any compelling reasons or drivers to migrate any parts of your network to IPv6 and if so, what are they?
no
B18. What are the major inhibitors for your NREN to migrate to IPv6?

B19. Please list point-to-point circuits, other than IP circuits already covered, within your network, or starting in your network and ending elsewhere, such as p2p circuits across GÉANT. Please don’t report Cross-Border Dark Fibres in this question, include these in the answers to questions on CBF below.

National point-to-point IP links in use as at January 2009
End points (cities)	Usage (Testing, Production, Project, Backup)	Total Capacity (Mbps)	Data entered service

International NREN to European destination point-to-point IP links
End points (cities)	Usage (Testing, Production, Project, Backup)	Total Capacity (Mbps)	Data entered service

International NREN to non-European destination point-to-point IP links
End points (cities)	Usage (Testing, Production, Project, Backup)	Total Capacity (Mbps)	Data entered service

B20. Cross-Border Dark Fibre (CBF)

CBF links in use as at January 2009
End points	Usage (Testing, Production, Project, Backup)	Number of lambdas	Capacity of each lambda (Gb/s)	Data entered service

Planned CBF links
End points	Usage (Testing, Production, Project, Backup)	Number of lambdas	Capacity of each lambda (Gb/s)	Planned date

B21. Please indicate in the table below what percentage of your network is dark fibre.

Percentages should be of distance installed and used dark fibre	% of the NREN backbone that is dark fibre	% of this fibre that is on long term lease/IRU	% of this dark fibre that is owned by NREN
Present situation	10.0	0.0	100.0
Expected situation, early 2011	15.0	0.0	100.0

B22. Wireless ServicesWhich of the following wireless services do you currently run or plan to run part of your service offering to institutions or users

Wireless services Usage

WLAN

Fixed Wireless Access

3G/use of mobile operators

Wimax

Satellite

Other
To ascertain level of eduroam deployment, we will use official eduroam database as a source of information. In order that the compendium reflects an accurate picture of the deployment in your country, please ensure that the entries from your NREN in the database are up-to-date.
