2nd COPC Network Connection• CSAB Action Item 2014-2.2: CCM and CSAB will

create a 2nd DOD/NOAA connection at Boulder.– Recurring charge for the (OC48) between Buckley and NOAA.

• OC192 was too expensive.• DISA working with DITCO for final cost mod to the contract.

– Will be split between Navy and AF.– The updated price estimates:

» MRC: $18,134.52 (MRC: Monthly Recurring Cost)» NRC: $5,753.54 (NRC: Non-Recurring Cost)

• Working to get OASD DCIO approval for the point to point.– Letter has been signed by the AFWA commander.

– NOAA procuring hardware for Boulder and temporary implementation in the SWPC rack.• IDP build out in Boulder complete by March 2015.• Network upgrades to 10Gbps to Boulder.• The 2nd Connection through Boulder is the first phase.

4

NFG Connection• To help coordinate the transition to NFG, CCM has

created a working plan.– PHASE 1 -- Creating a 2nd Connection [Estimated Timeframe:

Dec 2014 – Mar 2015]– PHASE 2 -- Testing NFG to the Navy Centers [Estimated

Timeframe: Mar – Dec 2015]• Plan to use the second path to test NFG latency.

– PHASE 3 -- Navy NFG Implementation (on both paths)[Estimated Timeframe: Jan – Jun 2016]

– PHASE 4 -- AFWA NFG Implementation [Estimated Timeframe: Jun 2016 - 2017]

– Corporate AF planned upgrades to the 2 AF gateways by FY17

NFG ConnectionDISA gave an update at the Sept CSAB meeting:• Site 1: Warner Robins – June 2013• Site 2: Columbus – Sept 2013 (Supporting Suitland) • Site 3: San Antonio – 14 Nov 2014 (Supporting Boulder) • Timeline and Dependencies

– CCM intends to continue use of the current Point To Point (PTPs), as well as utilize the new Boulder links when necessary, while also pursuing our individual NFG connectivity readiness efforts.

– NFG request submitted by AF for NOAA to connect to the NFG (either from Suitland or Boulder).

– Suitland• Backbone upgrades to support 4Gig out of Suitland -- (DISA) needs to install some additional

equipment which is scheduled to take place by end of calendar year or early 2015• 4 Gig - NMIC capable of supporting the bandwidth.

– Boulder• NRC from Boulder to the NFG?• NOAA full build out

– For either location AF must deal with the AF-gateway issues before they can receive NOAA data that way?

– Navy will most likely move forward.

6

Network Diagram• AFWA (Tom Harrison A6) developed a complex network

diagram.– Fairly all encompassing, but layers that can be turned on and off.– Too complex to view through a Power Point presentation.– Somewhat sensitive.

• Contains IP addresses and network structure, so encrypted with password access.

– Tom is no longer with the CCM group but we would like to get an editable version for future updating.

• NCEP POP (@NSOF) circuit tracking.– Does not include DOD to DOD outages, nor data issues.

• 2nd connection could help in some cases.• 2nd connection and multiple NFGs with dynamic routing should

prevent all but the last mile outages.

Network Monitoring• CSAB Action Item 2014-2.1: CCM will work to develop a

(no extra cost) COPC network monitoring solution. – NAVO (Tracy LePire) took the

lead by implementing a monitoring solution.

• NAVO is monitoring the NOAA/NAVO circuit and the AFWA/NAVO circuit.

– Group would like to setup similar processes at AFWA and FNMOC.

9

Bandwidth Requirements• COPC Action Item 2014-1.2: JAG CCM shall coordinate

with COPC partners to update the network requirements (now FY14-FY17). The requirements shall include COPC related or COPC impacted initiatives such as NUOPC and modeling data, existing and new satellite data, and conventional/observational data. – AFWA’s requirements are up to date.– Navy plans to make their requirements match the format of

AFWA submission. (Est. Nov).
