1.4 The Commission and the GCI Network This section provides background information on the Commission and on the Global Communications Infrastructure (GCI). Readers who possess this background information can skip this section and proceed directly to Chapter 2 or Chapter 3. 1.4.1 Introduction to CTBTO ( The Commission ) The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO, hereinafter referred to as the Commission ) was set up in 1996 with its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It is an interim organization tasked with building up the verification regime of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty 1 (CTBT) in preparation for the Treaty's entry into force, as well as promoting the Treaty's universality. The Treaty is a cornerstone of the international regime on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and an essential foundation in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. Information on the CTBTO is found on its website at www.ctbto.org/the-organization. The Commission is tasked with implementing a global verification regime 2,3 that monitors compliance with the Treaty. In particular, the Commission is responsible for the deployment of an International Monitoring System (IMS), the establishment of the International Data Centre (IDC) and the development of operational procedures for on-site inspections (OSI) 4. Once complete, the International Monitoring System (IMS) 5 will consist of 337 monitoring stations and radionuclide laboratories located in 89 countries around the globe 6. These facilities will send monitoring data to the IDC around the clock. Currently over 280 of these facilities are in place. The International Data Centre 7 (IDC) in Vienna, Austria is a central element of the CTBT verification mechanism. It collects, processes and analyses monitoring data originating from the 337 facilities of the International Monitoring System. The raw and processed data, as well as data products, are available around the clock to CTBTO Member States 8. Based on this information, Member States are enabled to make judgements about an ambiguous event. The IDC actively sends data and data products to Member States, either continuously, periodically or on-demand. 1.4.2 The (GCI) The International Monitoring System depends on a well-functioning communication system for the timely, reliable and accurate transmission of data and data products. The Global Communications Infrastructure (GCI) is designed to be cost effective, highly available and to provide timely delivery of data and data products. The GCI is a communication system of truly global character. It connects places distributed all over the globe with the Commission s International Data Centre (IDC) in Vienna, Austria. 1 http://www.ctbto.org/the-treaty/ 2 http://www.ctbto.org/verification-regime/ 3 http://www.ctbto.org/fileadmin/user_upload/public_information/2011/2011_verification_regime_web.pdf 4 http://www.ctbto.org/fileadmin/user_upload/public_information/2009/osi_the_ultimate_verification_m easure-web.pdf 5 http://www.ctbto.org/verification-regime/ 6 http://www.ctbto.org/fileadmin/content/reference/outreach/ims_mapfront.pdf 7 http://www.ctbto.org/verification-regime/the-international-data-centre/history-of-theinternationaldata-centre/page-1-history-of-idc/ 8 http://www.ctbto.org/member-states/?no_cache=1 Annex B Page 5 of 34 November 2012

The GCI is designed to transport in near-real time data transmissions from the facilities of the International Monitoring System to the IDC where the data are processed and analyzed. The GCI is also used to distribute the raw data from IMS stations as well as IDC data products to National Data Centers (NDC) of Member States. Equally as important, the GCI provides the communications medium by which operators remotely operate and maintain the IMS monitoring facilities. In addition, the GCI is used to forward raw data from IMS stations to tsunami warning centres with which the Commission maintains cooperative agreements. Figure 1 depicts the entities that connect to the GCI. These entities are described in the following sections. In the figure, solid lines represent dedicated GCI links of any technology (e.g., satellite or terrestrial). The dashed lines at the top are Internet VPN connections. The dashed lines at the bottom of the figure represent individual links or entire networks that are outside the responsibility of the Contractor. Communications nodes (star symbol) can be NDCs or similar facilities at which the GCI interconnects to another network. The hexagonal GCI hubs denote any kind of communications facility or aggregation point inside the GCI operated by the GCI contractor. Although the figure shows a tree network topology rooted in the IDC, this diagram does not prevent the GCI from being built in a mesh or any other network topology. The remote sites at the edges of the GCI can be IMS stations, NDCs or other facilities as described below. For simplicity, Figure 1 shows individual entities connected separately to the GCI. In reality, some connected entities combine an IMS station with an NDC or other facility in one physical location. Figure 1. GCI network concept. 1.4.3 International Data Centre (IDC) The IDC is situated at the Commission s headquarters in the Vienna International Centre, Vienna, Austria. It collects, processes and analyses monitoring data coming over the GCI, and transmits raw and processed data, as well as data products, around the clock to Member Annex B Page 6 of 34 November 2012

States over the GCI and the public Internet. The IDC operates several Network Management Systems (NMS) that monitor the status of the GCI and the connected remote sites. All connections between the GCI and the IDC take place at the Commission s Computer Centre, which has regulated temperature and regulated electrical power for round-the-clock operation. The GCI connects to the IDC network at a pair of redundant gateway routers administered by the Commission (hereinafter referred to as the PTS-GCI gateway routers. The network device belonging to the GCI Contractor that directly connects to the gateway routers shall be referred to as the GCI node at the IDC. Through the GCI node at the IDC and the PTS-GCI gateway routers, IP packets flow between the GCI and the IDC, or between the GCI and the public Internet (for VPN traffic). The IDC operates a firewall between the PTS-GCI gateway routers, on one hand, and its internal network and the Internet on the other hand. In order to monitor and to regulate the traffic flows on this private network, all GCI traffic pass both the GCI node at the IDC and the PTS-GCI gateway routers. The PTS-GCI gateway routers perform packet filtering to permit or block any traffic flows. IDC hosts and network devices are assigned IP addresses in a /23 private IP address range and a /26 public IP address range. The Commission s firewall blocks access to these ranges from the public Internet. 1.4.4 National Data Centre (NDC) A National Data Centre (NDC) is a data centre operated and maintained by a Member State, whose functions may include receiving data and products from the IDC and/or forwarding measurement data from IMS facilities to the IDC. The type of organizations that are designated as NDCs are either government offices under either the civilian or military branches, or research institutions of the government or academic institutions. Working hours range from the normal 5-day business week to 24x7 fully staffed operation. The working language varies in each country, and English cannot be assumed. The NDC is wholly independent of the Commission, and has its own complement of staff and processing facilities. In general, the Commission does not have any formal contractual relationship with an NDC. The Commission provides a GCI link as a free service to the NDC. The majority of NDCs receive data and products, so that the IP traffic is predominantly towards the NDC. A few NDCs (to be described later) also forward measurement data, which contributes traffic in the direction towards the IDC. The data rates are different in each NDC, depending on what subset of IMS data are being received or forwarded. In some NDCs the data rate has increased with time as more data are requested. The Commission assigns each NDC remote site its own Class C (/24) private IP address range. A small number operate in addition in another legacy /28 private IP address range. Since the NDC network is considered to be an untrusted network, the security of the GCI link is an important consideration. At this time, some countries have not designated an NDC. Therefore the list of NDCs in this Project Synopsis is expected to grow slowly as more countries designate their NDC and request GCI connections. From time to time, some Member States change the designation of their NDC, or the NDC may change its physical location. This usually requires the GCI link to relocate with the NDC. The Commission has developed an application for analysis of radionuclide data by which an NDC can download large data sets on demand (i.e., in the region of several Gigabytes). Under the most stringent conditions this application requires a download time frame of a few hours. This would require download speeds estimated to be in the region of one megabit per second or more over a VSAT or an Internet VPN link. More realistic is the situation in which Annex B Page 7 of 34 November 2012

these amounts of data are downloaded over a timeframe of several days. Between 15 to 30 NDCs could use this application, although there are no definite plans at this time. 1.4.5 International Monitoring System Facilities The IMS Facilities search for, detect and provide evidence of possible nuclear explosions to States Signatories for verification of compliance with the CTBT. The IMS Facilities consist of 321 monitoring stations and 16 radionuclide laboratories that monitor the earth for evidence of a nuclear explosion. In order to provide uniform global coverage, IMS Facilities are often located in remote locations that are hard-to-reach. Many are in unmanned or uninhabited locations. Seismic, hydroacoustic and infrasound monitoring technologies detect transient signals created when energy is released in underground, underwater and/or atmospheric environments. They send digital waveforms or time series to the IDC that provide diagnostic information to detect, locate and characterize the energy source. Radionuclide monitoring technologies are based on air samplers that collect and analyse atmospheric particulate matter deposited on collection filters and noble gases. The analysis of the radionuclide content uniquely confirms a nuclear explosion. Figure 2. Distribution of IMS Facilities IMS facilities belong to individual Member States, who designate an organization known as a station operator to operate the facility. The organizations can be government offices under Annex B Page 8 of 34 November 2012

either the civilian or military branches, or research institutions of the government or academic institutions, or commercial organizations. The Commission has contracts directly with Station Operators of primary seismic stations, hydroacoustic stations, infrasound stations, radionuclide stations and radionuclide laboratories. However, Station Operators of auxiliary seismic stations that comprise about 1/3 of the total IMS facilities do not have any contract and cooperate with the Commission purely on the basis of goodwill and shared scientific interest. The Station Operator is not necessarily present at the physical location of the IMS Facility. The number and location of the 337 IMS facilities are fixed in the Treaty. From time to time, IMS facilities may be rebuilt, or may move physical location, necessitating a relocation of the GCI link. In most IMS facilities, the IMS data senders are physically in the same location as the GCI remote site equipment. However, there are cases where the IMS data sender is in another location, and connects to the GCI over another link, which may be combination of a terrestrial medium, a terrestrial radio medium, or a satellite medium. This other link constitutes a simple network, which entails IP routing and addressing considerations. It also requires consideration of security for the GCI because the additional link is considered as an untrusted network. In principle, the data volume transmitted by an IMS facility is known. There are three traffic patterns, which are described in more detail in Sec. 3.6: (i) continuous transmission at a more or less steady data rate using a proprietary TCP/IP protocol; (ii) Periodic transmission of emails; and (iii) On-demand transmission of emails. Each IMS facility remote site is assigned its own Class C (/24) private IP address range. A small number operate in addition in another legacy /28 private IP address range. 1.4.6 Communication Nodes Communication nodes are the interface points between the GCI and other networks outside the scope of this Project Synopsis that connect to IMS facilities. The data from an IMS facility must traverse the other network and the communications node to enter the GCI and arrive at the IDC. These networks are described in Section 1.4.8. 1.4.7 Other facilities connected to the GCI Four other types of facilities connected to the GCI are described below. Station Operator CTBTO Contractor Tsunami warning centre Shared User A station operator is the organization designated by a Member State to be responsible for the operation and maintenance of an IMS Facility. In order to discharge their responsibilities, some station operators who are not physically at the location of the IMS facility require online access to the station devices from their office location, or need to retrieve or receive data from their IMS facility. For this purpose, a station operator is given a GCI connection to their office location, which is usually by an Internet VPN link. CTBTO Contractors include third party entities (e.g. universities, private businesses, institutes, individual contractors, etc.) engaged to build IMS facilities, develop software, or deliver some other service to the Commission. Their services may require online access to the station devices or station data for the duration of their contract. They may be given a GCI connection to their office location, which is usually an Internet VPN link. Annex B Page 9 of 34 November 2012

Tsunami warning centres authorized to receive IMS data are sent a continuous feed from the IDC 9. The Commission is currently contributing data from close to 50 stations to regional tsunami warning centres in Japan and the United States (Alaska and Hawaii), and to national tsunami warning centres in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and France. The GCI connection to a tsunami warning centre is an Internet VPN link. A shared user is a third party which operates equipment that is collocated with an IMS facility. The GCI may transport data from a shared user equipment to the IDC, where the data is forwarded via an Internet VPN to another shared user location. The shared user data uses the IP protocol, but otherwise employs communications protocols that may be different from that utilized by IMS facilities, NDCs and the IDC. 1.4.8 Networks External to the GCI This section describes networks outside the boundary line shown in Figure 1 that are connected at communications nodes. 1.4.8.1 Independent Subnetworks (ISN) An Independent Subnetwork (ISN) is a collection of IMS Facilities operated, maintained and networked together by one Member State. ISN networks are not part of the GCI 10 and deploy their own networking and communications technologies that may include satellite and terrestrial media. An ISN interfaces to the GCI either at the NDC of the Member State or at a communications node designated by the Member State. The data from an IMS facility must traverse both the ISN and the GCI in order to arrive at the IDC. Each ISN is covered by an ISN Agreement (in some countries, called an Arrangement or Contract) between the Commission and the Member State. The ISN Agreement defines the responsibilities of both parties. Among other things, this includes the requirement that the ISN links should be monitored from the NMS of the GCI by means of either ICMP or SNMP. Each ISN is assigned its own private IP address range with a /20 netmask. Since the ISN network is considered to be an untrusted network, the security of the GCI link is an important consideration. 1.4.8.2 Other networks connected to the GCI The GCI is connected to the networks listed below. In each case, the Commission has a contract with the relevant network operator for the use of the network. A network managed by the US National Science Foundation that connects between Denver, USA and Antarctica; A network managed by the Australian NDC that connects between Canberra, Australia and Antarctica; A network managed by a German Institute that connects between Bremerhaven, Germany and Antarctica. Each of these networks is assigned its own private IP address range. 9 http://www.ctbto.org/press-centre/press-releases/2011/ctbto-contributes-to-tsunamiwarningfollowing-the-devastatingearthquake-in-japan 10 In the sense used in this Project Synopsis. Annex B Page 10 of 34 November 2012

1.4.9 GCI Point of Contact (POC) The Commission does not maintain a physical presence at the remote sites of the GCI. It relies on the organization that owns or operates the facility in which a GCI link is installed for support in the operation and maintenance of the GCI. Each organization designates one or more GCI Points of Contact (POC) who provide the possibility for a faster or more economical response to a remote site trouble than dispatching one of the GCI Contractor s own personnel. There two main forms of relationship between the Commission and a POC: Some POCs are Station Operators who enter into a contract with the Commission and are financially supported in their work by the Commission. Their contractual obligations include limited support for the GCI. Some POCs do not have any legal or financial relationship with the Commission, and extend support on the basis of goodwill. Most of these are POCs of auxiliary seismic station, NDC remote sites or Internet VPN remote sites. POCs perform the following functions as directed by the GCI Contractor: Control physical access to the GCI equipment by installation or maintenance personnel. Perform visual inspections or take photographs of the equipment and environment. Perform simple diagnostic operations, such as pinging to test a link. Perform simple actions such as reset, power down or power up of equipment. Perform simply maintenance or repair actions, including swapping equipment. Clean the VSAT antenna. It is important to note the POC is not a communications technician, and may not be familiar with the equipment used in the GCI nor have the tools to carry out maintenance work. The POC can only perform actions that are very clearly described by work instructions. The POC is not necessarily present at the remote site. A POC of an unmanned remote site needs to travel to the remote site, limiting both the frequency of requests for support and the speed of response to a request. The working time of POCs ranges from a normal 5-day week (either Mon.-Fri., or Sun.-Thurs.) to a full 24x7 shift overage, and are subject to national and organizational holidays. POCs speak a variety of languages, and may not necessarily understand English. Annex B Page 11 of 34 November 2012

2 Statement of Work 2.1 Scope of the Chapter This Chapter describes the services to be delivered in seven (7) lots that may be awarded to one Contractor or separately awarded to different Contractors. Specifications for any of these are found in Chapter 3. 2.2 Scope of Services to be Provided The Commission wishes to procure the services defined below in six (6) lots encompassing the responsibilities to design, provision, migrate/install, commission, operate and maintain the GCI. The Commission reserves the right to award all the lots to one Contractor, or to award the different lots to two different Contractors in any combination. Furthermore, the Commission reserves the right not to award any or all lots. The Commission wishes to determine whether it is feasible and whether there is any commercial or technical advantage to engage two separate Contractors for the services in Lots 1 3. However, the Commission sees disadvantages in having to deal with separate and possible disparate Network Management Systems (NMS) and Network Operating Centres provided by each Contractor. For example, there is greater complexity if both NMS systems have to report to the Commission s single HEAT ITS, while the NOCs may have different operational procedures for ticket handling. All these will place a burden on the Commission s staff. For this reason, Lots 5 and 6 would be provided by one Contractor only, and the second Contractor will be utilizing the services of the first Contractor. While it is technically possible for the Commission to provision an NMS for the GCI, in the same way that it provides the HEAT ITS, the Commission is inclined to outsource this service. The Commission also wishes to determine whether it is feasible and whether there is any commercial or operational advantage for the Commission to operate the NOC at its Headquarters, with operational responsibility to make decisions on the field service technician resources and spare equipment stocks provided by either Contractor. The following are some examples of how the lots may be awarded. The list is not intended to constrain how the Commission will award the lots. Example 1. All the lots awarded to one Contractor. Example 2. Lots 1 5 awarded to one Contractor. Lot 6 to be undertaken by the Commission itself subject to an agreement with the Contractor on the scope of authority of the Commission over the hardware and field service technician resources provided by the Contractor. Example 3. Lots 1 4 awarded to one Contractor. Lots 5 and 6 to be undertaken by the Commission itself subject to an agreement with the Contractor on the scope of authority of the Commission over the hardware and field service technician resources provided by the Contractor. Example 4. Lots 1, 3, 4, and 5 awarded to one Contractor ( Contractor A ). Lots 2 awarded to a second Contractor ( Contractor B ). Lot 6 to be undertaken by the Commission itself subject to separate agreements with the two Contractors on the scope of authority of the Commission over the hardware and field service technician resources provided by the Contractors. Each lot individually shall satisfy the relevant specifications set forth in Chapter 3. Annex B Page 12 of 34 November 2012

The items that may be considered for reuse at a VSAT site are the VSAT antenna and its mount, VSAT RF head (2 units), IFL cable, VSAT indoor unit (2 units), Cisco router (2 units), and the UPS including its batteries. The item that may be considered for reuse at a VPN site is the Cisco router. If any item is agreed to be reused, then the Contractor shall become responsible for its maintenance and subsequent replacement, if necessary or if requested by the Commission. The Commission shall turn over to the Contractor the passwords and any other credentials needed to take over full responsibility for the item of equipment. The Contractor shall manage the following at each remote site and at the IDC: Deliver materials and equipment DDP to the address specified by the Commission within agreed time frames, including in-country transportation. Remove and dispose, as appropriate, of old GCI components within agreed time schedules. Annex B Page 15 of 34 November 2012

The Commission shall reimburse the actual and documented import taxes and duties. Legal expenses, facilitation fees, storage fees and administrative expenses shall be borne by the Contractor. The Commission has entered into agreements with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) regional offices in several countries, by which shipments may be consigned to the UNDP regional office duty free as a diplomatic cargo. To maintain service availability, a pre-configured spare for each type of remote site equipment, including the feedhorn for a Ku-band site, and except the UPS and the VSAT antenna, shall be kept at each site. Spare equipment shall be shipped to a site within three (3) weeks of use. The Contractor shall maintain a valid and current VSAT license for each VSAT installation. The Commission shall reimburse only the actual and documented cost of the license. Legal expenses, facilitation fees, administrative expenses and travel costs shall be borne by the Contractor. It is preferable that the license is obtained by the Contractor in the name of the Commission with its address in Vienna, Austria. If this is not possible, the license shall be in the name of the Contractor. In countries where the license holder is required to be an incountry resident individual or company, the Contractor shall make arrangements with the Station Operator at no additional cost to the Commission. The Contractor shall maintain a valid and current software license, if necessary, for each item of software used in the GCI. 3.2.3 Migration of the network and Installation of new links The Contractor shall migration all GCI services from the current GCI to the new infrastructure in not more than ten (10) calendar months after the Commission s approval of the PDD. For the purpose of this Project Synopsis, migration means provisioning, commissioning and beginning operation of a link. New links in the Site Profile Table shall be installed when requested by the Commission subject to the timelines in Sec. 3.11.2. The Contractor shall dispatch field service technicians to perform the migration or installation of VSAT sites. For Internet VPN links, the GCI POC shall be requested to perform the installation. The Contractor shall make its own travel and transportation arrangements to the remote sites in coordination with the GCI POC. If necessary, the Commission may assist the Contractor in securing access and transportation to a remote site. 3.2.4 Operations & Maintenance The Contractor responsible for the NOC specified in Sec. 2.2.6 shall manage the following at each remote site and at the IDC: Monitor the network 24x7 and identify any service outage or service disturbance within 20 minutes of the start. Open a trouble ticket in the Commission s HEAT Call Logging system within sixty (60) minutes of identifying a service outage or service disturbance. Diagnose and initiate appropriate service restoration actions within sixty (60) minutes of identifying a service outage or service disturbance. Dispatch a field service technician to a site, if needed for service restoration, within twenty-four (24) hours of identifying a service outage or service disturbance. Report every month on the performance of each remote site link against the agreed Service Level Requirements, and calculate corresponding monthly credits as agreed in a Service Level Agreement. Annex B Page 16 of 34 November 2012

The Contractor responsible for Lots 1 3 and Lots 5 6 shall prepare a plan for planned or preventive maintenance in order to reduce the incidence of equipment failures resulting in prolonged service outages. Such planned or preventive maintenance may include periodic inspections, testing and, if justified, replacement before failure of GCI equipment at remote sites and at the IDC, including the satellite dish antenna components. Such maintenance work shall be funded by the Commission. The Contractor(s) responsible for Lots 1 3 in Sec. 2.2 shall provide field service technicians with qualifications as specified in Sec. 3.12.2 who are able to travel to the remote sites within the responsibility of the Contractor. Within twenty-four (24) hours of a request by the NOC to dispatch a field service technician, the Contractor(s) shall complete all necessary travel arrangements and begin the journey. The field service technician shall restore service within four (4) hours of arrival at the remote site. In general, the Contractor is responsible to perform migration/installation, diagnosis and repair at all remote sites. However, to speed up service restoration, the Commission agrees to allow the Contractor to request assistance from the GCI POC. Such assistance shall be limited to tasks similar in nature to those described in Sec. 1.4.9. In this case, the GCI POC is considered to be acting on behalf of the Contractor, and any service outage time (see Sec. 3.11.1) while the POC is performing repair work shall be counted as if the Contractor s own field service technician were performing the work. The Contractor shall make its own travel and transportation arrangements to the remote sites in coordination with the GCI POC. If necessary, the Commission may assist the Contractor in securing access and transportation to a remote site. The Contractor shall not be held accountable for any service outage time that is due to any of the following reasons: Denial of site access because the GCI POC refuses or is not available to grant access to the site (see Sec. 3.11.1) Unavailability of the spare parts held by the GCI POC If the GCI POC agrees to perform a requested task, the time elapsed between communicating the agreement and actually performing the task, which shall include non-working days of the GCI POC 3.2.5 Programme Management The Contractor shall assign individual(s) with proven programme and project management work experience and certifications to manage the provisioning, migration and operation of the GCI. The Contractor shall assign individual(s) with proven experience in managing and operating a network of similar size and similar technologies to manage the operation of the GCI, and in particular the NOC. The use within the Contractor s organization of PRINCE2 or similar project management methodologies is considered an advantage. The Contractor shall meet at least once a month with the Commission. Meetings can be faceto-face or by videoconference. The Contractor shall be responsible for its own travel arrangements. 3.3 Remote Site Connections The equipment and communication channels provided for any one lot or combination of the lots specified in Sec. 2.2 shall meet the specifications described in this section. Annex B Page 17 of 34 November 2012

3.3.1 Network Requirements The GCI shall provide bi-directional end-to-end managed IP-based connections between the IDC and all remote sites listed in the Site Profile Table. The GCI shall support the IP suite of protocols defined in STD and RFC documents. The GCI shall provide an IEEE 802.3 physical LAN interface in the form of at least eight (8) Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) ports at its points of connection to the IDC and to each remote site. These eight ports shall be available for the end user (station, NDC or IDC). Any ports for interconnecting the GCI equipment shall be over and above this number. The GCI shall provide router functionality at each remote site in order to isolate the remote site local network from the GCI. In particular the following functions are mandatory: One-to-one Network Address Translation (NAT) is used when a remote site employs an address range that either overlaps with the GCI address ranges or is different from the GCI address range assigned to the remote site. One-to-one NAT makes a remote site device reachable from the IDC without the need to change device IP addresses. IP routing function to direct traffic to a remote site gateway. This is used when remote site devices are behind either an independent router or an independent firewall. Access Control List (ACL) or firewall functionality to block undesirable traffic. The Commission shall specify what constitutes undesirable traffic at each site. Because the applications used in the IMS system do not encrypt information, every IP packet entering the GCI network shall be encrypted and shall remain encrypted until it leaves the GCI network. AES shall be mandatory. The remote site GCI equipment shall provide a means of monitoring network conditions, including measurement of: Total data rate (in Kbps) in and out Data rate by Class of Service NetFlow reports to facilitate packet analysis One-way or Round Trip time between the IDC and the remote site 3.3.2 Electrical Power The GCI equipment shall be compatible with the electrical power provided at each remote site. Commercial electric power at remote sites generally conforms to the national or local standards and practices for voltage, frequency, outlet type and grounding 12. In a few cases which the Commission will indicate, such as when an IMS station is built and operated by an organization from another country, the voltage, frequency and outlet may deviate from the national standard. For a remote site with AC power, the GCI shall be provided with a double-conversion uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and surge protector. In case of loss of AC power, the UPS shall operate the GCI remote site equipment for 2 to 12 hours, as specified by the Commission. Remote sites can suffer frequent and severe voltage and frequency fluctuations, brownouts and extended blackouts from commercial AC mains power or poorly regulated generators. The lifetime of the UPS batteries can be shortened by such conditions. The Contractor shall replace batteries whenever the UPS time falls below the time that has been agreed with the Commission. 12 For example, as given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mains_electricity_by_country or http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm or http://www.voltagevalet.com/elec_guide.html. Annex B Page 18 of 34 November 2012

Some remote sites obtain DC power from solar cells or battery banks. For a remote site with DC power, the GCI shall be provided with a power conditioner against fluctuations and harmonics in the DC power supply. The remote site GCI power equipment shall provide a means of remotely monitoring the condition of the power supply, including measurements of: Input voltage, current and frequency Output voltage and current 3.3.3 Interface to the IDC (International Data Centre) The GCI shall connect to the Commission s network inside the Vienna International Centre, Wagramerstrasse 5, Vienna 1200, Austria. The GCI shall connect at the IDC to 10/100BaseT ports of a redundant pair of LAN switches and gateway routers managed by the Commission. The interconnection shall be free of any single point of failure. The Contractor shall provide physically diverse connections up to the GCI-IDC interface specified above to minimize the likelihood of catastrophic service interruptions. The Commission shall provide two independent electrical power circuits for the GCI-IDC interface equipment. 3.3.4 GCI Link types The Contractor shall install, operate and maintain the following link configurations that exist in the current GCI: Single VSAT link Dual VSAT link with two VSATs in a redundant configuration with automatic failover VSAT link with Internet VPN in a redundant configuration with automatic failover, with Commission s choice of which link is primary Dedicated terrestrial circuit Dedicated terrestrial circuit with Internet VPN in a redundant configuration with automatic failover Internet VPN links 3.3.4.1 Satellite Remote Sites The supply of electrical power is a challenge at many remote sites, where power is provided for long periods of time by generators or solar cells or simply battery banks charged from the electrical mains power. Low power consumption is important. The total average power consumption of the remote site GCI equipment shall be not more than 75 W excluding the UPS for AC remote sites 40 W for DC remote sites Extras for satellite remote sites Annex B Page 19 of 34 November 2012

Radome (as required) Anti-ice heater or de-icing equipment (as required) 3.4 Networking Requirements The Contractor shall use a private IP addressing plan provided by the Commission for all GCI dedicated devices, including network equipment. End user devices located at remote sites (IMS stations, NDCs, the IDC and all other entities connected to the GCI) shall continue to use their assigned GCI IP addresses and address spaces, netmasks and gateways. End user devices shall not change the configuration of their network cards or interfaces. The Contractor shall use the naming convention specified by the Commission for links, stations, hosts, and network devices for consistency with the NMS and the HEAT ticket system. All GCI traffic, including traffic between two remote sites, shall be routed through the PTS-GCI gateway routers so that the Commission can filter and monitor the traffic. The Contractor shall propose a design that will route IP packets in this manner without routing loops. 3.5 Site Profile Table The Site Profile Table (SPT, Attachment 1) lists the remote sites to which the Contractor shall migrate, install and maintain GCI services. Some of these remote sites are provisioned and currently operating, while some will be installed and provisioned at a later date. The information in this table is representative of the current network although it is not the latest information for some attributes that have changed over time. These are not significant for the Expression of Interest. The frequency band attributes are those of the installed VSAT sites and the current satellite hubs. The Commission will consider proposals to change the frequency band for the distribution of remote sites according to the Lots in Sec. 2.2. Remote sites are classified in the SPT as Easy, Difficult or Extreme based on the conditions and required duration for travel of personnel and transportation of equipment to the remote sites. The Site Profile Table includes the following information in the table GCI Sites : Link code the definitive code by which the remote site is designated in various applications and databases Treaty code the code by which the connected IMS stations are designated in the CTBT Site address (country and city/town) Transmitted data rate (average anticipated date rate or AADR) see Sec. 3.7.1.4 Received data rate (average anticipated date rate or AADR) see Sec. 3.7.1.4 Latitude and longitude geographical coordinates of the remote site are relatively accurate for installed satellite sites and may be used for pointing; estimates only for sites not installed or non-satellite sites Date of Site commissioning actual dates for installed sites or planned dates for new sites Type of station equipment specifies whether a remote is satellite, terrestrial or Internet VPN Type of power supplied specifies whether primary power source is AC or DC; not known for sites not installed Annex B Page 20 of 34 November 2012

UPS back-up time battery capacity shall be sufficient for 2 hours or 12 hours operation Frequency band actual frequency band (Ku or C band) of installed satellite sites Antenna diameter actual diameter of installed satellite dishes (1.2, 1.8 or 2.4 meters) Anti-ice heater specifies if a heater is installed or required Radome specifies if a radome is installed or required Antenna mount the type of mounting that is installed or required Dual Site (redundant) specifies if the remote site has two VSATs in a redundant configuration with automatic failover Holder of Site license specifies whether the Contractor, the Commission, or the GCI Point of Contact (operator) holds the VSAT license. This information is only indicative because the actual holder may change with time and not be reflected in this table. Type of users at the site Classification see explanation above Comments various types of useful information Internet availability specifies whether an Internet line is available at the remote site to be used as a backup for a VSAT or terrestrial link. In all cases marked Y the Internet line is currently being used as a backup. Disposal of old equipment useful information about the disposal of old GCI equipment The SPT table Options lists three additional remote sites that are currently not part of the GCI network but may be included in the future. 3.6 Description of GCI traffic 3.6.1 Overview Each GCI link shall be able to simultaneously transport all of the protocols and applications described in this section. The Commission runs custom application protocols described below in order to transport time-sensitive monitoring data from an IMS Facility to the IDC, or from the IDC to an NDC or other remote site. All communications protocols adhere to the IP suite of protocols and Internet standards for communications protocols as defined in STD and RFC documents. In all of these application protocols, the measurement data is compressed by the application before being submitted to the TCP stack. 3.6.2 Continuous Data Primary seismic, hydroacoustic, infrasound and some auxiliary seismic stations transmit continuous data to the IDC in a single unbroken TCP connection. The IDC can also transmit continuous data to an NDC or other entity connected to the GCI. The proprietary application protocol, which runs on top of the TCP layer, is called CD1.0 or CD1.1. A brief description is given below and more details are available on request. A continuous data sender generates one real-time data frame at periodic sampling intervals. The size of the data frame varies from 10 to 30 kilobytes between stations, and within a station varies by up to 30% from frame to frame. The sampling interval is usually 10 seconds, but can be set to any arbitrary time. A data frame must be transported by the TCP/IP protocol in less than half of the sampling interval. If a continuous data sender is not able to send out one or more data frames, it buffers the data in internal storage. When transmission becomes possible, the sender transmits real-time data frames at the sampling interval. In between, it transmits the buffered data frames as fast Annex B Page 21 of 34 November 2012

as the communication medium allows. This feature is called catch-up. This behaviour generates a characteristic doubling or more of the data rate during catch-up. If a CD1.0 or CD1.1 stream is interrupted abnormally, e.g., because a TCP connection breaks or has a high packet loss rate, the application waits for 10 minutes before restarting data transmission. Therefore, short breaks in the communication medium result in 10-minute interruptions to the application data transmission. 3.6.3 Periodic Data Radionuclide stations and radionuclide laboratories transmit data to the IDC as SMTP email messages sent at fixed time schedules. The time schedules are different in each stations or laboratory and may range from one email every 2 hours to every 24 hours. The sizes of the email messages differ from station to station, and within a station may vary from one schedule to the next. The size of one email is limited by SMTP mail relays at the IDC to less than one megabyte. This limit can be changed at the discretion of the Commission. If a sender is not able to send out one or more emails, it buffers the emails in internal storage. When transmission becomes possible, the sender transmits real-time emails at the fixed time schedules and at the same time it transmits buffered email messages as fast as the communication medium allows. This feature is called catch-up. This behaviour generates a traffic peak that is limited only by the available network capacity. 3.6.4 Segmented Data Auxiliary seismic stations operate according to the AutoDRM protocol. The IDC sends a request or command to a station in the form of a formatted SMTP email message. For each request or command that it receives, a station sends back a response containing monitoring data in the form of one or more SMTP email messages. The interval between IDC requests is highly variable, ranging from one request per day to as many as one request every 20 minutes. An IDC request email message is typically less than 100 bytes. A station response email message is limited by SMTP relays at the IDC to less than one megabyte. The limit can be changed at the discretion of the Commission. If the requested monitoring data exceeds one megabyte, the data is sent to the IDC using the FTP protocol. Newer IDC software transfers data using the HTTPS protocol. Unlike other types of monitoring facilities that send only real-time data unless in catch-up, an auxiliary seismic station can be requested to send monitoring data from the past, up to 14 days old. Although rarely invoked, this feature can cause a peak in traffic from the station. If an auxiliary seismic sender is not able to send out one or more emails, it buffers the emails in internal storage. When transmission becomes possible, the sender transmits buffered emails as fast as the communication medium allows. This feature is called catch-up. If the IDC is not able to send out one or more request email messages to a station, it buffers the emails. When transmission becomes possible, the IDC transmits buffered emails as fast as the communication medium allows. This is part of the catch-up feature. The auxiliary seismic station typically processes all the requests and sends back response email messages as fast as it capable of, generating a traffic peak of email and/or FTP and/or HTTP conversations. An auxiliary seismic station also has the ability to transmit continuous data to the IDC (see 3.3.8.2). Annex B Page 22 of 34 November 2012

3.6.5 IDC forwarding The IDC transports data to NDCs, station operators and tsunami warning centres as a combination of continuous data, periodic data and segmented data described in the previous section. In this case, the IDC behaves much like an IMS facility when it is sending data. The IDC also performs catch-up when transmissions to an NDC are interrupted. 3.6.6 Catch-up Mode To implement the catch-up feature described in the previous section, each IMS Facility has local storage capacity equivalent to at least 7 days of monitoring data. The IDC buffers request emails for up to 3 days. After an interruption of GCI service when a station or the IDC is not able to send transmissions, the catch-up must be completed in less than or equal to the time the interruption lasted. This requires that a GCI link must be able to absorb at least twice the normal (or non-catch-up) data rate in both directions. 3.6.7 Command and control Commission staff at the IDC, station operators and CTBTO Contractors at remote sites communicate remotely with devices at IMS facilities in two ways: Interactively using a variety of open source and commercially available software and protocols such as telnet, rlogin, ssh, X-Windows, TightVNC, HTTP, HTTPS, and others on both Windows and Unix/Linux platforms. Batch file transfer using a variety of open source and commercially available software and protocols such as FTP, SFTP, SCP and others on both Windows and Unix/Linux platforms. 3.6.8 NDC traffic NDCs receive data from the IDC as continuous data, segmented data or email messages. NDCs also browse several web servers at the IDC using either HTTP or HTTPS protocols. 3.6.9 Other traffic types Shared users communicate from one remote site to another remote site (usually an IMS facility) by any protocol in the IP suite including both TCP and UDP. Proprietary application protocols can be involved. The Commission NMS 13 at the IDC monitors GCI devices and IMS facility devices using both standard and proprietary protocols such as ICMP, SNMP and NetFlow. The Commission installs VOIP telephones at some remote sites to provide voice communications with the IDC. The VOIP gateway and server are located in the IDC. Although multicast is not currently used in the GCI, the GCI shall be capable of transporting multicast traffic. 3.7 Application Data Requirements Each GCI link, or each lot of the GCI network, shall meet the specifications set in this section. 13 NMS = Network Management System Annex B Page 23 of 34 November 2012

3.7.1 Network Dimensioning and Bandwidth Management The GCI shall provide the bandwidth ( Network Throughput Requirement ) specified in Table 2 below for each satellite region plus an allowance for growth of 64 kbps in each direction for every region. Table 2 estimates the bandwidth needed to carry both user traffic as specified in Sec. 3.7.1.4 as well as network overhead, including VSAT and TCP/IP overhead, for the current distribution of remote sites. The bidder shall advise the Commission if any bandwidth reductions are feasible without impairing the performance requirements for the GCI. A terrestrial remote site shall have sufficient bandwidth to carry the user traffic specified in the SPT, which does not include any network overhead. VPN sites utilize the Internet circuits of the Commission and of the remote sites; they do not require any provisioning of bandwidth. The above bandwidth specifications do not include the estimated megabit per second download requirement of an NDC downloading a large data set described in Sec. 1.4.4. This will be part of the requirement for capacity change in Sec. 3.7.1.3. 3.7.1.1 Quality of Service (QoS) The GCI shall provide predictable, measurable and guaranteed service to applications based on QoS mechanisms such as queuing, congestion avoidance, traffic shaping and packet classification Table 2. Network Throughput Requirements for the Satellite Regions. Network Throughput Requirement SATELLITE REGION Transmit [Kbps] Receive [Kbps] AOR 161.1 80.7 EUME 231.7 92.2 IOR 222.1 63.5 NAM 97.9 34.0 POR 150.3 58.3 NPAC 37.3 27.6 Total throughput for satellite sites 900.4 356.3 3.7.1.2 Class of Service (CoS) The GCI shall classify all data packets and provide QoS management to ensure that the priority of each CoS is preserved in the order specified in Table 3 below. The listing is ordered from highest to lowest class of service. For Voice over IP (VOIP), only the call control data are included in the classification. The class of service for the VOIP data packets shall be discussed with the Contractor. 3.7.1.3 Network Expansion and Capacity Changes The Commission shall have the option in line with the contract at any time to: Add New Sites Increase the capacity of any Site or group of Sites Annex B Page 24 of 34 November 2012

Increase the network infrastructure capacity. 3.7.1.4 Site and Network Throughput Requirements The Average Anticipated Data Rates (AADRs) (transmit and receive) for each remote site are specified in the Site Profile Table under the columns labelled Transmit Data Rate [kbps] and Receive Data Rate [kbps]. These figures are the sums of the user data rates required for the mission critical, mission important and interactive classes of service (CoS) in Table 3, including estimated TCP/IP overhead bytes but excluding network overhead. Each GCI link shall have capacity to transport at least twice the average anticipated data (AADR) rate as defined in the Site Profile Table in order to support catch-up. Each GCI link shall have access to at least 2xAADR as defined in the SPT whenever the remote site offers this much traffic or more, irrespective of the traffic in other GCI links. In other words, 2xAADR shall be a Committed Information Rate for the link. Table 3. Class of Service Class of Service Mission Critical (locally defined) Mission Important (locally defined) Interactive Data Type Continuous data (TCP) (real time or catchup) Periodic data (SMTP) (real time or catch-up) Segmented data (SMTP and FTP) and NDC requests Continuous data (TCP) (real time or catchup) Periodic data (SMTP) (real time or catch-up) Segmented data (SMTP and FTP) and NDC requests Network management data (ICMP and SNMP) To specified hosts at the IDC From/to other hosts at the IDC Bulk Best Effort Interactive application data (FTP, HTTP and Telnet) VOIP call control data (call setup/teardown protocol) Shared user data Each GCI link shall be able to burst above 2xAADR whenever there is excess capacity in the GCI network, and shall be able to use as much excess capacity as the remote site needs. The entire GCI, as well as any region individually, shall have sufficient capacity in both directions to transport at least twice the sum of the AADR of all remote sites when all remote sites are simultaneously in catch-up. If the total traffic offered to the GCI exceeds the available capacity, the GCI shall transport mission critical, mission important and interactive CoS traffic ahead of the lower classes of service. The Contractor shall ensure that shared user and VoIP data shall be transported in the capacity allocated for catch-up data when this capacity is not used. Annex B Page 25 of 34 November 2012

3.7.2 Site Services/Facilities and Operating Conditions 3.7.2.1 Overview The Site Profile Table describes the services/facilities (e.g. AC or DC power) that are available at each type of remote site and the operating conditions under which equipment supplied by the Contractor has to perform. 3.7.2.2 Operating Conditions Many remote sites are in housing that do not have any form of heating or cooling, and therefore must operate at ambient temperature. Remote site equipment shall operate under the environmental conditions specified in Table 4 below. The Contractor shall provide additional protection for outdoor equipment (e.g., anti-ice or deicing equipment, radome, armored IFL cable) as required. Table 4. Operating Environment Station or Gateway Equipment Satellite Terrestrial Environmental Condition Outdoors Indoors Indoors Temperature -40 to 60 C 0 to 45 C 10 to 40 C Humidity (non-condensing @ 30 C) 0 to 95 % 0 to 95% 0 to 85% Altitude 5000 m 5000 m 2500 m Rain Up to 150 mm/h - - Snow Up to 3 cm/h - - Solar Radiation Up to 1,135 kw/m 2 - - Wind Loading (operating) Up to 100 km/h - - (survival) Up to 200 km/h - - 3.8 Network Operations Centre As described in Section 2.2.7, the Network Operations Centre shall operate provide first level support and help desk support for the GCI. English will be the primary medium of communication. A working knowledge of the official UN languages 14, and of other languages, will be an advantage. Network Operations Centre functions may be provided 24x7 by one organization, or the responsibilities may be divided by region (Ku-band, C-band, terrestrial) among the following organizations: One or two GCI Contractors, each responsible for a portion of the GCI The Commission 14 Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian and Spanish. Annex B Page 26 of 34 November 2012

Each NOC responsible for a region will operate and maintains its own Network Management System as described below in Section 3.9. All NOCs will use the Commissions HEAT trouble ticket system described in Section 3.9.2. 3.9 Network Management System (NMS) The Contractor that is responsible for a region of the GCI will install, operate and maintain its own Network Management System (NMS). The NMS shall monitor, store and report real-time and historical readings of: Status of all network components and end-to-end links Status of primary and redundant/back-up links One-way delay time or round-trip time of every GCI link Packet loss of every GCI link Utilization of network capacity Status of AC or DC power input at every GCI link EbNo, SNR or equivalent signal quality indication at every VSAT link Other performance parameters The specific data to be shall include, but not be limited to the following: Equipment status, events and configuration for each network device Equipment status (e.g. up or down) Serial number or unique identifier IP and MAC addresses System up time All alarms and events, specifically including link up/down alarms Presence or absence of Commission s traffic Status of each Site LAN port (e.g., administratively enabled or disabled, operationally up or down) Ethernet collisions and errors at each Site LAN interface Satellite station equipment status, events and configuration in addition to the above Received signal quality at the satellite terminal Received signal quality at the satellite gateway Buffer overflows at the satellite terminal Frames or packets discarded, or not sent Power and bandwidth utilization TCP spoofing or emulation statistics Terrestrial station equipment status, events and configuration in addition to the above Indication of primary or back-up service activation, for links with back-up Terrestrial circuit capacity utilization in both directions, for each terrestrial circuit Network congestion indicators, such as e.g., forward and backward congestion notifications Network routing information at each Site and at the IDC Routing table contents ARP cache contents Router interface status (e.g., administratively enabled or disabled, operationally up or down) IP addresses administratively refused, e.g. by access control lists UPS equipment status and configuration in addition to the equipment status, events and configuration above Input voltage Input frequency Input current Annex B Page 27 of 34 November 2012

The Commission s staff shall be given read-only access to the NMS. 3.9.1 Commission s NMS The Commission will continue to operate its own NMS which requires performance and status data from the GCI. Currently the Commission operates the following NMS systems: Zyrion Traverse, using ICMP pings and SNMP polls to monitored equipment Plixer Scrutinizer which receives NetFlows from monitored equipment Riverbed CACE Pilot, which uses SNMP polls to routers and switches. Notwithstanding the requirements of the previous section, the GCI shall permit the Commission s own NMS equipment to actively monitor any and all GCI links. The Commission may give the Contractor access to the readings of its own NMS. 3.9.2 Contractor s NMS Commission s ITS functionality The Commission operates an Incident Tracking System (ITS) that is based on Heat Service and Support 15 trouble ticket system, currently Version 9.5.3, with Call Logging and Auto Ticket Generator. The Contractor(s) responsible for Lots 1-3 in Sec. 2.2 shall use the Commission s ITS to record and to track GCI incidents. The Contractor s NMS shall have the ability to automatically open and close trouble tickets in the Commission s ITS by sending structured email messages according to the SMTP protocol in a message format recognized by the Heat Auto Ticket Generator (Messaging Center). Automatic trouble ticket generation will include but not be limited to the following events: 15 http://www.frontrange.com/productssolutions/detail.aspx?id=40 Annex B Page 28 of 34 November 2012

Virtual circuit outages due to: AC/DC power loss (open and close trouble ticket) Weather induced signal fades (open and close trouble ticket) Equipment failure (open trouble ticket) Any other virtual circuit outage (open trouble ticket) Other non-catastrophic events that do not require human intervention. 3.10 Security Requirements This section specifies minimum requirements for the security of the network. These specifications apply to all the lots in Sec. 2.2. The Contractor shall be responsible for the integrity of all data handled within the GCI and shall prevent unauthorized access into the GCI via any route through the implementation of firewalls, ACLs, Intrusion Detection System and any other security controls. The Contractor shall ensure the separation of the Commission s traffic from other subscribers of the Contractor s network infrastructure. The Contractor shall ensure all network devices shall be protected with the highest security controls possible to prevent unauthorized access to network devices The Contractor shall harden all network devices where possible to allow only the service required for operational requirements. The Contractor shall log, investigate and notify the Commission of security events affecting the network devices related to the GCI. The Contractor shall cooperate with any security audit/vulnerability assessment conducted by the Commission either using internal or external security experts. The Commission will make the report available to the Contractor. The Contractor shall implement a password management policy for all GCI equipment and software. 3.11 Service Level Requirements This section defines the performance metrics for the GCI and specific Contractor tasks. Service Availability is the principal quantitative measure of network performance. These service level requirements shall form the foundation of a Service Level Agreement. 3.11.1 Service Availability Service is defined to be available at a Site if all the performance metrics simultaneously satisfy the requirements in Table 5. A Service Outage occurs when one or more requirements are not satisfied. Service Availability is calculated by subtracting the cumulative Service Outages over a period of time from the full service period and expressing the difference as a percentage of the full service period. Service Outages due solely to the following reasons shall not be counted against the Contractor s service availability: o Loss of AC power that exceeds the nominal UPS back-up time Annex B Page 29 of 34 November 2012

o o Loss of DC power supply Denial of site access 3.11.2 Service Level Requirements Service Level Requirements are as follows: Single VSAT links, dual VSAT links, and VSAT links with Internet VPN backup shall have Service Availability equal to or greater than 99.5% in any 365-day period of time.

4 Description of GCI-II 4.1 Scope of the Chapter This Chapter provides a high level description of the current implementation of the GCI, hereinafter referred to here as GCI-II as an example of one technical implementation of the requirements. A description of the current generation of the GCI is on this website: http://www.ctbto.org/verification-regime/the-global-communications-infrastructure/page-1-gci/. The second generation GCI has been in operation since late 2007, after a successful migration from the first generation GCI. The entire network is provisioned and operated by one GCI Contractor. The main features in a nutshell are as follows: IP-based network infrastructure Uses terrestrial media, satellite communications, and the Internet Operates in approximately 100 countries Connects more than 250 Sites to the IDC in a star topology Connects from 5 to 10 high-bandwidth NDCs or communication nodes to the IDC in a star topology Connects remote sites with Service Availability better than 99.5% per VSAT site and better than 99.95% for terrestrial sites Connects remote sites located in remote extreme environments Supports near real time data transport Supports data volumes up to 18 GB per day (up to 36 GB per day in catch up mode 16 ) Provides end-to-end QoS performance management for various Classes of Service Provides proactive network monitoring from a 24x7x365 Network Operations Centre Utilizes commercial-off-the-shelf technology (hardware and software) Physically, the GCI is primarily built on a VSAT infrastructure, complemented by six (6) dedicated terrestrial circuits and around thirty (30) public Internet VPN connections. Satellite technology has proven its value to reach remote and under-developed locations in the world. Terrestrial technology is used when it is feasible and more economical than satellite technology for remote sites with high bandwidth requirements. Internet VPN technology is used when the first two choices are not technically feasible, or when it can deliver substantially the same performance at a lower cost. Considering the difficulty and cost of sending personnel to maintain the remote sites, a number of remote sites are provided with automatic failover to a backup circuit in the following combinations: Dual VSATs One VSAT and one Internet VPN connection One dedicated terrestrial circuit and one Internet VPN connection The VSAT infrastructure is divided into six (6) ocean regions landing at two teleports in a European country and two teleports in North America. The teleports are interconnected by both dedicated MPLS terrestrial backbone links and Internet VPN backup links. This network is homed to the IDC in Vienna by redundant MPLS terrestrial circuits. The remote site equipment consists of idirect 3000 VSATs with Prodelin antennas, and Cisco routers which 16 Catch-up mode is described in paragraph 3.6.6. Annex B Page 33 of 34 November 2012

provide Ethernet ports to the IMS station or NDC equipment. Both AC and DC models are supplied. For AC sites, a UPS with 2 to 12 hour battery capacity is supplied. The dedicated terrestrial circuits to six remote sites employ redundant MPLS circuits homed directly to the IDC, with Cisco routers as the interface to the remote site equipment. A UPS is not included. Internet VPN links are provided with a Cisco router. The Internet service is provided without charge by the remote site. To address the availability requirement, every remote site is provided with a complete set of either cold spares or hot standby equipment. The spares coverage includes the remote idirect equipment (indoor and outdoor units) and Cisco routers. The UPS and antenna are not spared (except in dual VSAT sites). GCI POCs are trained to assist in diagnosing equipment operation or in swapping equipment. The network exclusively employs the IP suite of protocols for end-to-end communications and adheres to Internet standards for communications protocols as defined in STD and RFC documents 17. Private IP addresses and a few public IP addresses are either directly assigned by the Commission or delegated to various remote site organizations to be assigned to network and end-user devices. Majority of the traffic flows are between the IDC and remote sites. In addition, the GCI should support connectivity between any two remote sites. However, these are blocked as a policy, and only enabled on a case-to-case basis. A single Network Operations Centre (NOC) in North America manages the network 24x7, attending to network incidents, new installations, and configuration changes. This NOC records incident details in the HEAT ITS system provided by the Commission. The Contractor provides a Service Management Desk at the Commission s offices, staffed by one person during the Commission s business hours. This provides a direct linkage between the GCI Contractor and the Commission. Network monitoring is performed with two types of commercial off-the-shelf software employing SNMP and NetFlow respectively. This gives a means to monitor the condition at both ends of a GCI link. Both the GCI Contractor and the Commission have access to the network monitoring systems. In addition, the built-in network management system of idirect is also used by both. A custom software application developed by the GCI Contractor running on top of one of the network monitoring systems provides functionality to determine SLA violations. 17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/internet_standard or http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3000.txt or http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html.
