6 The Internet Each Koosh Ball: Is a Routing Hub from A given ISP, connecting thousands of users to the Internet Too Many edge routers, firewalls, hosts to graphically display. Internet By The Numbers: 320,000 Nodes Found By Internet Mapping Project 1.8 Billion Internet Users Million New Internet Users Connecting Each Month Over 100 Million YouTube Videos Streamed Every day Courtesy of AT&T Labs / Lumeta

7 The Converged Telecom System The Internet & Private IP Networks Hosted Services SIP Phones IP-PBX PSTN VoIP Gateways Router WiFi/Cell Mobile BBand

8 It s Not Just About Voice Service Anymore Its About HD Channels Its About Gaming Its About Video Streaming Its About Mobile Broadband Its About Personalized Content Its About Social Networking

9 Broadband Service Delivery Today AT&T: U-Verse Head-End/Central Office with Core Routers - With Fiber Distribution to Neighborhoods - With Fiber Distribution to Homes & Businesses Verizon : FiOS Absent new DSL technology breakthroughs, FTTH may be the only technology capable of providing future bandwidth requirements.. NECA Trends 2008 RLECs Copper Loop

10 New Network Technologies To Stay Aware Of..

11 New Network Technologies: - Content Delivery Networks - Web Caching Saves a copy of popular content for next request Video Optimization Build Your Own or Connect To Other CDNs

12 New Network Technologies: - Deep Packet Inspection - What Can you Do With It? ID & Block Unauthorized IP Traffic ID & Block SPAM, bots, Viruses Prevent Intrusion & DoS Attacks Manage SLAs and QoS Manage Firewalls & VPNs Manage & Bill For New Services (ie;ftp) Test & Troubleshoot Your IP Networks Why Is It Controversial? Some Have Used DPI to Throttle App. Traffic Some Have Used DPI to Study Web Behavior Potentially view-hear Voice/Video Traffic

13 New Network Technologies: - Server & Storage Virtualization - 30% 25-30% Total Utilization w/ 4 or 8 CPU Cores Less power consumed = Less OPEX 10% 5% 10% Several Dedicated Under-utilized servers can become Virtual Machines on a single Multi-core server, managed by a Hyper-visor Virtualization Is Moving Into Storage Technologies: NAS Network Attached Storage SAN Storage Area Networks Solid State Memory (SSD) Replacing Disk Drives

14 New Network Technologies: -.tel Top Level Domains & ENUM - ENUM and.tel Used For Bridging E.164 Phone Numbers with Internet Addresses: Both use the Internet DNS system to resolve routing Both are Opt-In systems The.tel TLD Just Released What s Up With ENUM? Dec 3, 08 Trademark Owners Feb 3, 09 Land Rush Release Mar 23, 09 General Availability Similar to ENUM, but intended for Mobile Devices (iphones, BBerries) Country Code 1, still not resolved National & Economic Politics In the Way Many Private ENUM Networks Deployed Requires a Computer to Communicate

15 New Network Technologies: - NG E911 with GPS Location - GPS technology is becoming less expensive and more widely deployed V & H coordinates will find its way into IP communications signaling Mobile Location & GPS techniques will evolve to solve VoIP location problems.. Nomadic Mobile and IP devices will drive the Next Gen E911 Reverse 911 (ie; mass alerts) is a growing requirement in DHS efforts

16 Business Re-Engineering Trends..

17 Business Re-Engineering: - Cloud Computing & SaaS Services - Amazon EC2 Google Apps IBM Blue Cloud SalesForce.com Microsoft Dell Sun HP EMC Cloud Computing.. Enter the Cloud with Eyes Wide Open! Utilizes Virtualized CPU capacity in multiple diverse Data centers Common Business IT Apps & Storage from a Hosted Network. Reduces Local Maintenance Should Reduce costs. Should Be secure..

18 Business Re-Engineering: - Green Data Centers - Solar Power Hydrogen Fuel Cells Diesel Alternative Fuels (Propane) Alternative Cooling Technologies The Telecom Industry rivals the Airline Industry in Global Carbon footprint. Power & Cooling costs equal approx. 45% of Equipment Costs Annually! Fed Tax Credit of Up to 30% of Alt. Energy Systems Costs

19 Business Re-Engineering: - Network Service Peering & Partnerships - Network and Service Peering The Bandwidth peering model is the Next-Gen Inter-Carrier Compensation! Keep your Friends close and your Enemies closer! What Can Peering Do For You? Enable your customers to reach Global services, at lower costs Gain Revenue From Those Who Wish to Reach Your Customers Leverage Technical Advancements of Specialized Operators Gain Economies of Scale, without Re-Inventing Your Network You can Peer on: Voice / Web Services / Video Content / BW

20 Business Re-Engineering: - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) - What Happened To IMS? Where Is It? The pieces are being deployed slowly Standards are actually maturing & keeping pace with technology! No single vendor does it all SIP is the glue that ties the IMS components together What Can IMS Do For You? Supposed to Enable Any Service From Any Access Device Supposed to Support: Fixed Mobile Convergence / Voice-Video/ Multi-Screens

21 New Services & Content On The Horizon

22 HD Desktop Video Conferencing Video conferencing expected to replace 10% of Airline Travel over 10 years New Business Services On The Horizon Business Content Delivery Remote Training Video Advanced Research VLANs with Suppliers TelePresence Access to SaaS Applications SalesForce.com VanillaSoft.com Webex / CITRIX / Live Meeting Google Apps Medical Records Management & Security Access to Government Content & Services DHS, State, Local Alerts Reverse 911 Near Real Time Weather FBI, DNA, and Crime Lab DBs

23 New Residential & Pro-sumer Services On The Horizon 3D HD Video On Dec 4, 2008 the NFL broadcast the Chargers/Raiders game live in 3D. The event was shown in theaters in L.A., New York and Boston on the big screen and on 3D television displays.
