  11. Initiative / Development Expected timeframe (years) Confidence  
    Upgrading of existing DWDM network to ROADM 2 quite certain
    Possible support of WiMAX networks on campus networks 1-5 uncertain
    Possible connection of large number of sensor devices onto our network 2-5 uncertain
    No 40G, will use nx10G instead. Wait for 100G 1-2 quite certain
    Virtualisation of network resources using IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) framework. This can incorporate BoD) 2-5 uncertain
    Work on the integration of virtualisation of network and services (combination of IaaS, PaaS [Platform] and SaaS [Software]). 2-5 uncertain
    A three stream strategy on IPv4/IPv6 environment:
    a. IPv4 depletion processes (1 year) (CERTAIN)
    b. Fully standalone IPv6 network (1-3 years)(CERTAIN)
    c. clients on IPv6 (4-5 years)(LIKELY)
    		 1-5 quite certain
    Service (path, PoP, Power, Equipment) resilience to clients 1 quite certain

  17. (x)Yes ( )No
  18. No, our network is already dual stacked, and has Ipv6 as a core protocol.
  19. - Vendors charging premium pricing for ipv6. - Improper route filtering at other academic networks toward the commercial Internet. - Security products (arguably more important than routers) not supporting ipv6 adequately. - Constraints in resources needed to support additional service to users.

    Present situation 95.0 95.0 0.0
    Expected situation, early 2011 95.0 95.0 0.0
  23. Wireless services Usage
    WLAN no interest
    Fixed Wireless Access in use now
    3G/use of mobile operators in use now
    Wimax under trial
    Satellite in use now
    Other
  24. 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.
  25. B.22- NB. With reference to the use of wireless technologies in use in the network
    HEAnet currently uses Satellite technology to connect first and second level schools only.

    B.19 - We've counted all our point to point links, which are not necessarily IP links
    B.19 - HEAnet FEDERICA- NORDUNET - was Q1 2009
    B.10 - 2nd last part of this question has 3 bits to it and each has a confidence ranking
    B.9 - We have 2 links to INEX, hence the INEX 1 and INEX 2
    B.2 - Two Layer 3 routing sites
    B.3 - Answer includes PoPs and managed client sites
