Premise
Successful large-scale commodity Peering can...– Decrease commodity costs and
result in overall savings– Reduce reliance on commercial
vendors– Increase routing efficiency and
flexibility
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
TransitRail Is/Will Be...
– NATIONAL• Multiple exchange locations around the US;
– COMMODITY • packet-agnostic• Connections at commercial peering
exchange points;
– PEERING• Direct network-to-network bilateral IP Packet
exchange

TransitRail Goal
Goal: create a network presence and infrastructure that will attract and retain TierOne type peering to the benefit of the R&E community
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
What to Expect
TransitRail participants are likely to experience anywhere from a 25% to 60+% reduction in the overall traffic that normally goes over their commodity ISP circuits.

TransitRail is NOT…
• R&E network peering• Regional/local peering• Many-to-many peering
facility• An alternative for 100% of all
your commodity transit needs
• Pacific Wave
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Who
• CENIC and Pacific Northwest Gigapop are jointly proposing, developing, and implementing the TransitRail facility.
• These groups have significant individual and joint experience with peering facilities and prospective peering partners
• Partnering with NLR who will provide the underlying network infrastructure as well as the relationship with the participants.

Chronology
• Phase 0 underway (Traffic loading test: “Peer Sharing”)– No cost to participants– CENIC, PNWGP sharing subset of peers
• Phase 1 (initial five-location buildout)– No cost to participants– CENIC, PNWGP funding startup costs,
providing staff
• Phase 2 (adding participants and locations)– Cost model to participants (developed in
Phase 1)

Phase 1: What’s Next
• Peering node builds: LA, Sunnyvale, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC. Location selection criteria: – a) reasonable proximity, and access, to an
NLR POP; – b) dispersed east-west locations; – c) highest peering potential based on fiscal
investment for that location.
• Initial participants: PSC, FRGP, MATP, CENIC, PNWGP
• Interest expressed: LEARN, SOX
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Infrastructure
• Equipment (CISCO 7600s)• Links (NLR Framenet), loops
to exchange points• New autonomous system • Restrictive peering policy to
maximize return

We Need Numbers
• From (potentially) interested participants we need data:– Aggregate peak transit usage
and trends– # routes (IRR object(s))– Current transit providers– Current peers and peak
peering volume
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Getting Connected
• Phase 0 was proof of concept only, no further participation
• Some additional participation in Phase 1 may be possible– Current traffic estimates show us
approaching 6Gbps– We think it would be nice if we didn't break
NLR
• Additional participation in Phase 2 actively being sought

Phase “Infinity and Beyond”
• Add NYC, Atlanta, Dallas,…other?
• Facilitate a standard connection & delivery system

Phase 2Conceptual Diagram

Cost Model
• Cost Model: cost to end organizations should be less than Quilt-based CIS pricing
• Many cost model questions– Fixed cost per connection
(1GE, 10GE)?– Measured service?
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Routing Policies
• What TransitRail requires of its peers– 3-5 locations throughout US– Large amount of traffic
exchanged per peer– Reliable Operations
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Routing Policies
• What TransitRail requires of its peering participants– Structured local preference– Maintained IRR object– Willingness to tune
announcements to L3/Wiltel/C&W (to attain highest amount of usage)
Copyright 2006 CENIC and PNWGP
Business Side
• Peering solicitations, agreements
• NOC support• Infrastructure upgrades
