Executive Summary

The proposed solution includes the redesign the NOC network utilizing Cisco network
infrastructure equipment, chosen for its proven dependability and for the ease of finding skilled
worker to support the information system. The system will provide for near 100% network
uptime to Massive Comm customers and employees. The design requires two sites to increase
redundancy and allow for lower latency improving customer satisfaction. The design will allow
for growth over the next five years without upgrading network hardware. Bandwidth can be
upgraded as user subscription increases saving costs. The network supports DoD security
requirements via a VPN SSL utilizing AES encryption.

Protocols.
TCP/IP

Protocol Independent Multicasting (PIM)

To reduce bandwidth consumption and provide scalability an IP multicast solution for

Live TV traffic is proposed. PIM sparse-dense-mode is the proposed multicasting routing
protocol allowing multicast traffic reachability from source to host in an efficient and effective
manner.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

OSPF is proposed as the interior gateway protocol for its fast convergence and
scalability. Further, although only Cisco network infrastructure equipment is being proposed, the
openness of the protocol allows for a multi-vendor environment which can be useful in meeting
future requirements, especially for public institutions which may find it necessary to consider
various vendors when utilizing public funds. Also to note, it is proposed Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD) be configured on routers running OSPF to provide sub second failover to meet
video traffic requirements

Physical Topology

Data Center Block

Cisco 6513-E series switches are the proposed data center network infrastructure device
connecting the servers to network. The 6513-E is an enterprise class switching solution which
provides high port density (with 11 serviceable module slots), high throughput (2 TBps of
throughput on the backplane), and high availability (redundant power supplies and supervisor
engines). The Cisco 6513-E support up to 10 Gbps wire speeds, Cisco VPN SSL Service
Modules, and it has industry proven reliability. The 6513 also supports and will use Cisco
Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System (VSS) 1440 supervisor 720 modules allowing two 6513s
to act as a single virtual switch eliminating the need for a first hop routing protocol as well as
deliver sub-200 millisecond inter-chassis failover and support multichassis Etherchannels
(MEC).

The Cisco WebVPN Service Module will provide SSL VPN solution using IPSEC utilizing
AES as the encryption method for all government and private contractors

 External Edge

The external edge routing will be handled by two Cisco ASR 1004 routers. These routers
can handle large amount of bandwidth and have multiple modular ports. They provide edge
routing, VPN access, security features (such as from DDoS attacks), and QoS.

Firewall

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 5585-X router will provide firewall service. These
provide high-level security, actively scanning packets and implementing access-control lists and
policies. Also they can handle large amounts of day with minimal latency.

Response Time and Packet lose

The network is designed to provide data traffic with one-way latencies less than 200ms,
one-way jitter less than 40ms, and less than .5% packet lose

IP Addressing Scheme

The IP address scheme was designed with consideration to ease of management,

scalability, and support of summarization. Private IP addressing is used within the internal
networks and separate IP address ranges are allocated to different classification of systems to
simplify ACLs and firewall rules as well as to segment network traffic and provide scalability

Projected Bandwidth Requirements
The internet connection is a monthly recurring cost and will need to be upgraded as more users
subscribe to the network. Waiting to increase bandwidth will reduce costs of the network.
Currently redundant OC12 connections will be implemented at both the NOC as well as the
remote site in Washington DC. The Bandwidth required was calculated by analyzing current
bandwidth usage. Currently the OC12 line allows for 622Mb of bandwidth, but 50% is used for
the satalite communications. The last 311Mb are distributed between the Streammedia service
(250Mb Est.) and the AppCloud service (61Mb Est.). The results were then calculated with the
expected growth of 80% each year for the streammedia plus 20% increase during holidays
(100%) and an increase of 100% each year for the AppCloud service. A bandwidth
requirements breakdown can be found in the appendix.

Budget Summary
The total budget for the first year will be approximately $1.3 million. Initial recurring costs of
$40,000 will be for the OC12 connections. The recurring cost will increase as the consumer
base increases. After 4 years the network will need to be updated to ensure adequate user
resources. A complete budget can be found in the appendix.
