Based on discussions both inside the RIPE NCC and with the chairmen of
the appropriate working groups, the following milestones have been set
for the project:
- July 1, 1999:
- Work started when AA joined the project.
- October 14, 1999
:
- Draft project plan presented to the community.
- September 1999/RIPE-34:
-
- Presentation of the project plan in the Routing-WG.
- Demonstration of the prototype.
- October 14, 1999
:
- Final project plan presented to the community.
- October 1999-February 2000:
- Development work, intermediate
steps:
- Documentation of the prototype.
- Develop the first version of the RRC software.
- Set up peering sessions with interested parties and start
collecting data with (prototype) RRC software. This data will
be used to develop the user-interface and to finalize the estimates
of the data-volumes.
- Make the raw data available for analysis.
- Build a prototype user interface and get user feedback on that.
The prototype will be documented.
- Start to extract statistics from the raw data.
- Finalize and order hardware.
- February 2000/RIPE-35:
-
- Present answers to the research issues mentioned in
section 4.
- Have a more advanced system ready to be tested inside and outside
the NCC. User documentation will be provided and show how the
data can be used in day-to-day operations.
- February - May 2000:
-
- May 2000/RIPE-36:
-
- Add more features based on user feed-back.
- Study and implement analysis of the data over a longer term.
- Discuss implementing this as a regular service
- September 2000/RIPE-37:
-
- Turn project into a regular service.
At the moment it is expected that 1 network engineer (AA) will work
full-time on the project. The second author of this document will spend
approximately 20% of his time on this project. It is likely that
additional expertise or manpower will be needed during the various stages
of the development of the service. These will be borrowed from other
groups inside the RIPE NCC.
When the project is turned into a regular service, the manpower situation
will be reviewed.
