Next Generation Networks Initiative
• A consortium of representatives from leading industries, operators and academia
• The first European open environment for strategic discussions on topics & issues of NGN.
• A Project of the IST programme

Next Generation Networks Initiative
Mission
• Facilitate and support smooth evolution of and transition to next generation networks
• Resolve issues that create barriers for NGN deployment
• Encourage clustering of activities• Create open environment for discussions
on trends of technology• Create awareness among the actors
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Objectives
• Assess the technologies and their significance for NGN
• Achieve interoperability for seamless services through harmonised standards
• Achieve compatibility and essential commonality between solutions and products
• Identify new opportunities e.g. for convergence etc.
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Topics
• Internet infrastructure• Mobile and Wireless• Optical Networks• Home Networks• Edge Devices• Network Management• Interworking, Interoperability
– further topics may be added later
Next Generation Networks Initiative
NGN-I : Why ????
• With many existing fora, groups, organisations, what does NGN-I contribute?
• NGN-I is adding value by– being a network for strategic discussions at an early
stage of new technologies– acting as an enabler and facilitator by liaising with
existing international organisations– focussing on selected issues & topics of strategic
importance (Technology Roadmaps, Benchmarking)– expediting standardisation processes
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Networked Society
IP
• Different types of network infrastructures are linked through common protocol
• All communication will be based on packets running on circuit, packet and wireless networks
• There will be convergence at service level to reach any one from anywhere at any time

NGN Requirements-IPv6
• Requirements– Scalability of networks with address space,QoS and
security, which are basic features of IPv6 networks– Connectivity with existing IPv4 networks is necessary– IPv6 should happen from the edges, not from the core.– Applications are important for pushing IPv6
• it has to be transparent to the end user– Interoperability with IPv4 has a cost
• 100% interoperability is not always necessary– We need a credible transition story.

Next Generation Networks Initiative
Evolution of Transmission Technology
– 1st Generation: Copper is transmission medium
– 2nd Generation: Optical Fiber (late 80s) • Higher data rates; longer link lengths
– Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM, 1994)
• Fiber exhaust forces DWDM• Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) lower
DWDM transmission cost
– 3rd Generation: Intelligent optical networking • Routing and signaling for optical paths

DWDM Evolution
– Faster (higher speed per wave), • 40 Gb/s on the horizon
– Thicker (more waves), • 160 waves possible today
– Longer (link lengths before regeneration) • A few thousand km possible today
– 160 waves at 10 Gb/s = 1.6 Tb/s• 25 million simultaneous phone calls• 5 million books per minute
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Next Generation Networks International and European
Initiatives
Next Generation Networks Initiative
IETF: IP Next Generation• Main issue: transition from IPv4 to IPv6 technology
– Expanded Routing and Addressing Capabilities– Header Format Simplification – Improved Support for Options– Quality-of-Service Capabilities– Authentication and Privacy Capabilities– Autoconfiguration– Multihoming– http://www.ietf.org
• IPv6 Forum (http://www.IPv6forum.com)– Associated to IETF, founded in Europe to promote
IPv6 among industry partners for smooth transition
Next Generation Networks Initiative
3GPP: Third Generation Partnership Project
• 3GPP will provide globally applicable Technical Specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based on the evolved GSM core network, and the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), to be transposed by relevant standardization bodies (Organizational Partners) into appropriate deliverables (e.g., standards).
• UMTS Forum and 3GPP are working together for the successful introduction and development of UMTS/IMT-2000 ’’third generation’’ mobile communications systems.
• www.3gpp.org
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Internet 2• Develop and deploy advanced network applications
and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet– Enable new generation of applications– Re-create leading edge R&E network capability– Transfer technology and experience to the
global production Internet• Focus Areas
– Advanced Applications– Middleware– Advanced Network Infrastructure– New Network Capabilities– Partnerships
Next Generation Networks Initiative
European Initiatives
• DANTE: pan-European network to interconnect the European National Research Networks: SURFNET (NL), JANET (UK), WIN (G), SWITCH (CH), RENATER (F)…
• DANTE's European dimension– TEN-155 Network (Quantum)– Q-MED: TEN-155 network interconnection with
national research networks of Israel and Cyprus– GEANT (follow-up of TEN-155 towards multi
Gigabit core network interconnecting national research networks)

Next Generation Networks Initiative
Next Generation Network Initiative
• A European IST project to promote the converging next generation networking technologies– A group of IST projects representatives would work
towards an international co-operative work through developing roadmaps, benchmark reports and well established links to international research groups.
• Will establish different focus topical groups• Will manage a central secretariat• Will provide links to research projects• promotes the contribution to standards groups
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Expected Results
• Co-ordinated / collective contributions to standards
• Technology Benchmarking• Technology Roadmaps• Collective awareness
– results are open
Next Generation Networks Initiative
Membership of NGN-I
• NGN-I Membership• Any organisation (world-wide) active

Conclusions• NGN initiative launched to study innovative NGN
R/Evolution• Networks will have variety of access and core
networks to serve the society• Interworking and interoperability would be major
issues• NGN (IPv6, 3G and WDM) would be widely deployed
to provide broadband, high quality and secure services
