• RedIRIS10 contracts will end in October 2011• The historical leased capacity model does not scale for the
new e-Science challenges: • no Flexibility• limitations to develop advanced functionalities • high Costs
• Globally, Educational and Research Networks are evolving to a model based on own dark fiber... or, more accurate, have evolved !

Failures and SLAs definition ...Failures classification
• Complex Failures ( CF): Fiber outages or degradations that require special (≈ long) works to be fixed
• Normal Failures ( NF): no special works
13
Service Level Agreements (to Fiber Links)
• Fiber Link Availability (monthly): 99,2% just for NF times
• PoP Availability (monthly): 99,98% both CF + NF
• Mean Times between Failures : 180 days for CF and 30 days for NF
• Maximum Unavailability Time for CF per 12 months periods: 30 hours for each 1.000km of fiber.
• Time to Repair: 12 hours for CF and 8 hours for NF
• Frequency of Failures (measured over 12 months periods):
• 3 for CF and 6 for NF.
• Fiber spans would be swapped if threshold is reached.

Operational phase
• ILA housing conditions failures
• No collaboration with 3rd party entities
• Fiber link unavailability
• PoP unavailability ( simultaneous outage or degradation for all PoP fibers)
• To exceed Meant Time Between Failures parameter for each fiber link
• To exceed the Maximum Number of CF per 12 months periods
• To exceed the Maximun Time to Repair
• Improper fiber operations

How are the charged ... ... if the complete IRU contract is paid when deployment is finished and
accepted ? Provider set up a “1% contract budget” bank guarantee to support those
penallties. The 1% bank guarantee should be kept until IRU contract ends. Provider
must put back money when any penalty reduce it.
