Project Objectives





Utilize Abilene backbone for early VoIP testing
Begin with a few Universities
Expand in later phases
Add additional features in later phases
First VoIP on Abilene backbone 4/27/99

Phase 1

VoIP using Abilene backbone
–
–

Switch #1 in NYC
–
–




Colocated Abilene/Qwest POP
No. Virginia as an option
Switch #2 on West Coast
–

East/West coast schools
Test voice quality over long distance
Colcated Abilene/Qwest POP
Schools pic traffic to Qwest
Qwest delivers traffic on IMTs with SS7 to TMC
Restrict traffic to participating schools only
“First call” 4/27/99 at Interent2 conference

Phase 2


Expand trial to as many schools as interested
Test different methods of transport delivery
–
–
–

Public switched ATM PVPs
T-1’s routed calls from PBX
ATM and T-1 direct circuits eliminate message unit
charges ($.065/call) but other costs and issues
Begin testing 6/1/99
8
Phase 3



Move MMS-1600 back to campus
Test video and data applications
Move out of test mode into full deployment
–


Voice VPN
Traffic management, costs and expansion are
key issues to address
Operational by Fall 1999

Actions





Meet to agree on test objectives and phases
MOU clearly defining roles & responsibilities
Assign UCAID project manager
Allocate resources
Begin implementation
