Users are then free to use whatever protocol suits thembest in order to transport data via that path. There is no requirement to use theInternet Protocol (IP). The survey asked if NRENs have any optical links that carrynon-IP based traffic.Most NRENs reported that they do not have optical links that carry non-IP traffic, but some do. In all cases, such links then carry traffic based onEthernet technology. A further question was asked about the technologyused to monitor traffic on such links. NRENs mentioned a variety of tools:Cacti, Nagios, MRTG, TNMS and SNMP queries. A number of NRENs, such asSURFnet and SWITCH have developed or are developing their own tools.64
TERENA Compendium of National Research and Education Networks In Europe /Services3C.5 Quality of ServiceThe GN2 project defines three levels of Quality of Service, termed ‘Premium’, ‘BestEffort’ and ‘Less than Best Effort’. On congested networks, implementing Qualityof Service allows premium traffic to pass through unhindered, whereas othertraffic might experience problems. NRENs were asked if they provide these levelsof Quality of Service. Only a minority do (eight out of 28 EU/EFTA NRENs and oneout of nine NRENs from other countries). The graph below gives the reasons whyNRENs do not provide this.Most NRENs from the EU/EFTA countries prefer to over-engineer the network,so that congestion does not occur and therefore there is little requirementfor Quality of Service. Other NRENs do not see the demand for such a servicewhich could be due to the fact that these NRENs have no congestion on theirnetworks.Graph 3C.5.1 Reasons for not providing QoS levels3C.6 SecuritySecurity incident response is increasingly being considered as vital to theend users. They expect NRENs to provide such services or to make sure thatsomebody else provides them.Table 3C.6.1 summarises the information about whether security incidentresponse is provided by the NREN itself, or if it is outsourced. Often, specialComputer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) are formed to ensure atimely response to (potential) security threats. International collaboration is ofkey importance to CSIRTs. A precondition for such collaboration is that CSIRTshave to be able to trust one another. In order to facilitate such trust relationships,TERENA has been instrumental in setting up the Trusted Introducer scheme (seewww.ti.terena.org for more information). The table shows which NRENs haveCSIRTs that are either accredited with the scheme or candidates for accreditation(note that only the information that is at www.ti.terena.org is fully up-to-dateand authoritative).The table clearly shows that there is still a large difference in this areabetween EU/EFTA NRENs and NRENs in other countries in the region. Thesituation has not changed since last year.Table 3C.6.1 Security Incident Response TeamsSecurity Incident Response by NRENOutsourcedEU/EFTA Countries 90% 10%(n = 29) Accredited CSIRT: 57%Other Countries 100% 0%(n = 9) Accredited CSIRT: 13% 65
