14. Security and assurance concerns
Today restricted data usually sent over private
network
Shared networks can provide connectivity to GCSX
(Government Secure eXtranet) for sensitive data
Shared networks can prioritise traffic types
However;
Any shared network solution MUST assure complete
privacy of restricted data from other community
groups
In state of emergency certain user groups MUST be
given assured use of limited network capacity

23. Delivering Assurance
MPLS Traffic engineering can reserve minimum bandwidth for a
class of user
All the bandwidth is available when there is no congestion
Profile can be changed under network fault conditions if desired
Multiple levels of QoS (Quality of Service) available per user eg for
voice, video, client-server, browsing
Encrypted MPLS LSP 1
MPLS LSP 2

24. Delivering Customised Benefits
Customised traffic prioritisation policy
By application
By site
By user or groups of users
Flexible Bandwidth
Option to integrate WiMAX and xDSL access
Multicast for video broadcast
Staff briefings

Training and lessons
We recommend use of Next Gen Multicast VPN (NG-MVPN) proptocol within the core ) as it provides better integration with
MPLS than PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)
Direct Connections to other Govmnt Networks JANET, GSCX
