Access to national R&E networks
Multi-homed to Commodity, automatic fail over
“Dialable” capacity in 1 Mbps increments

Takes ~1 hour to adjust capacity
Summer savings
Intra-FRGP traffic

“Free”
Can burst to circuit capacity, e.g. 1 Gbps
High quality (e.g. video conferencing, multimedia work)
Community membership and evolution toward Next
Generation Optical Networking

Some circuits can be shared, lowering costs and increasing capacity
A way for us to make progress, on NGN as a state

Single-circuit Connectivity & Pricing
8
 Qwest pricing looks attractive, on the surface, but:
 Capacity is not shared
 A site must order sufficient capacity to burst to its maximum
rate, or limit functionality
 Consider pricing for shared circuits/services
 EC BOCES at 1 Gbps through SCONE, Commodity only
EC BOCES includes 17 rural school districts
 SCONE total aggregate connectivity at 30 Mbps
 We advertised $100-$150/Mbps-mo (FRGP ‘raw’ pricing)
 Instead, via aggregation, EC BOCES pricing averages closer to
$15/Mbps-mo – see slide on next page

 UPOP pricing should be examined in this light

SCONE Overview
 Southern Colorado Optical Network for Education
 Partnership between CDOT and Higher Ed
 CDOT provided right of way, infrastructure
including fiber
 Higher Ed provided design, labor (splicing), and
$50K
 Approximately $70K in equipment was funded by
the participants

Basic Architecture
 Gigabit Ethernet from Denver to Pueblo
 Multiple VLANs, one for each site
 Most efficient use of fiber
 Very cost effective
 Pueblo-Denver Backup circuit via Level3
 Metro Ethernet Service
 Currently capped at 100 Mbps
 Automatic Fail-over
Management and Operations
 Monitored and Managed by CSU NOC
 Most end sites do their own monitoring/alerting
 “Best effort” support
 Rely upon “local” staff in some situations
 Remote hands support, diagnostics, equipment swaps
 Web page maintained at CSU
 Contacts, Diagrams, Changes, Outages
