IP Transit Pricing

• Two pricing models
• Fixed Fee - pricing depends on access bandwidth
• Access port with guaranteed bandwidth
• Access bandwidth is maximum bandwidth
• Price is fixed per month
• Common outside US-Region
• Variable (also known as burstable) - pricing
  depends partly on committed access and also on
  usage if usage exceeds committed
• Customer commits to a certain bandwidth, access
  port bandwidth will be higher then committed
• If necessary customer can burst above committed
  up to access port bandwidth
• Billing based on 95/5 usage
• Monthly price will vary based on actual usage
• Local Loops or IPL access priced separately

21
IP Backbone Architecture

• OC-48/OC192 IP over dense wavelength division
  multiplexing (DWDM)
• Most competitors run IP over ATM
• IP direct over DWDM provides improved throughput
  and enhanced scalability
• IP over ATM creates approx. 15 overhead when
  encapsulating IP into ATM cells (known as cell
  tax). Running IP direct over DWDM avoids this
  overhead.
• MPLS
• Enables IP Tunnels for improved bandwidth
  management
• Reduced hops on the network
• Improved performance reliability

Global Crossing IP Network Differentiation

• Fully Redundant IP Hub Designs
• Minimized single point of failure
• Multiple ingress/egress paths for IP traffic
• Multiple data paths within the hub
• Multiple power supplies in router and switch
  chassis
• Multiple power feeds (AC) or 48VDC where
  available
• First Carrier to Deploy MPLS Globally into
  Production Environment
• First Carrier to create a fully-meshed World-Wide
  MPLS network

One Network, One AS
First Carrier to deploy fully-meshed global MPLS
network into production for 25 increase in data

27
Global Crossings Research Network Connection
Program

• Based on Global Crossings IP VPN Express Route
  Service and IP Transit
• Express Route is a fully meshed, MPLS based
  Global IP network that provides any to any
  connectivity, thus,
• Research Traffic is segregated from commercial
  traffic with express delivery to research network
  peering points
• Single local loop for best economics IP Transit
  / Express Route

28
Global Crossings Research Network Connection
Program

• Ability to create Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP VPNs
• Allows for the creation of Extranets with other
  NREN partners, IPv4 IPv6 supported
• High performance, GigE speeds with SLA for
  Latency, Packet Loss, and Availability
• Any to Any is ideal for both short term and
  long term projects

29
Global Crossings Research Network Connection
Program

• Several NRENs are already utilizing this
  service/technology, Such as Fapesp, AMPATH, and a
  major European NREN with connectivity to
  StarLight/Startap, thus, direct connectivity to
  these networks is easily facilitated.
• Special pricing has been developed. Either pay
  only for actual bandwidth used (usage based) or a
  custom Flat Rate to meet budget requirements
