- We have had
multicast enabled everywhere on campus for years, but our next step is
to enable IPv6 which requires an upgrade to our core network which has
not yet been funded.
|
- [Our
GigaPoP] appears to be having difficulty identifying a provider of
gigabit (2.5 G wave?) capacity to [our university] in support of a
grant
|
- The
inability to provide I2 connection throughout the campus has been a
main factor in departments not using I2.
|
- We are
just passing mid life with our gigabit backbone. Upgrading to a 10 gigabit
backbone will have to wait for two years until funding is adequately
built up.
|
- Edge
gear is a moving target. Jumbo frames and gig-E add a bunch of cost by
pushing close to the edge of technology.
|
- Example
- TCP window size tuning. We know how to do it; we don't know who
needs it.
|
- Many
locations on campus still have CAT3 cable limiting those buildings to
10Mps connections.
