Further to my message of yesterday evening, you might also like to look at http://www.dante.net/ten-34/nn-high-speed.html It is surprising how easily you forget what is on your own machine.

I have had nine responses so far but I hesitate to pass them on without seeking the agreement of my informants (data provided for one purpose should not be used for other purposes etc - even if it is not personal). Can you please let me know a bit more about the purpose of your own questions? I know how difficult it is to get hold of reliable information and I would like to share what we have both got as long as this is legitimate. Best wishes, Howard --------------------------------- 1. Do you already have any 155 Mbit/s links in service? Yes/no If yes, how many organisations/sites are connected? Skip to question 4 2. Do you have any 155 Mbit/s links in use for testing purposes? Yes/no If yes, when do you expect to start (national) services based on such links? Skip to question 4 3. Do you have any plans to install (national) 155 Mbit/s links for testing or for operational services? Yes/no If yes, when do you expect the first installations to be made? 4. Given the plans for TEN-34, at what date would you (realistically) like to see an international (European) 155 Mbit/s service in place? 5. Can you give us a pointer to any document (or Web page etc) which briefly describes your activities/plans/strategy in relation to 155 Mbit/s services? Since the answers to the questions should be easy to provide, could you please respond before (or, at the latest, at) next Tuesday's SG meeting. If there is any information you wish to add, you are of course welcome to do so. end

The use of high speed (>34Mbit/s) within Europe
by Denis.Russell＠ncl.ac.uk 04 Nov '96

04 Nov '96

I hope this query is a reasonable use of this list. I have been asked to come up with a summary of the use of high speed (which means more than E3 - 34Mbit/s in this context) in Europe. The query really means off campus, rather than FDDI and Fast Ethernet within an organization. I have a reasonable idea of the picture within the UK (SuperJANET, and the various MAN initiatives), but my picture across Europe is much more patchy. There are a few pointers that I have been given, and I've just emailed off some specific queries to some folk (some of whom are also on this list, so please forgive me for pestering you with a similar query). So, please, if you know of any communication at these speeds that is outside the "local area", please drop me an email. I would very much appreciate a specific references that I can quote (URL to something pretty and informative would be good). Anything outside the local area qualifies, whether it is a few miles across a city, a national initiative, a trans-european link, or even an international link. However, I really would appreciate it if you could make the destinction between those things that are actually shifting bits now, and those that are merely figments on a proposal. I will of course, summarise to the list. Denis.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY at TERENA
by John DYER 15 Oct '96

15 Oct '96

Dear RIPE Members Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this mail. The following vacancy for a PDO is being advertised. I would appreciate you assistance in widely disseminating the information to anyone you think might be interested. Thank You John DYER * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY IN NETWORKING AT TERENA * * 7/10/96 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OFFICER (PDO) Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA) The Organisation The Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA) is a pan European organisation representing all major research networks of Europe. The primary objective of TERENA is the promotion and development of a high quality international information and telecommunications infrastructure to support European research and education. To meet this objective, TERENA has established a Technical Programme which is intended to encourage innovative and collaborative projects, encompassing involvement in the definition of standards, co-ordination with telecommunication operators, industry and governmental bodies. The majority of the work is undertaken by volunteer experts drawn from the TERENA community and organised into Working Groups and Task Forces for specific technical areas and activities. The working language of TERENA and its associated activities is English. The technical work of TERENA concerns the definition and management of leading edge networking projects including wide area ATM development, European Information Infrastructure, security and video conferencing. TERENA also organises a number of European networking conferences, workshops and symposia each year. The Post The TERENA technical staff consists of three Project Development Officers (PDOs) and a Chief Technical Officer who reports to the TERENA Secretary General. The staff work closely with the administrative staff making up a small international team of approximately twelve in the TERENA secretariat office in the centre of Amsterdam. Due to one of the current staff members taking up a position elsewhere, TERENA presently has a vacancy for a self motivated Project Development Officer. The PDO post will be for an initial one year period starting 1 January 1997, at the level of 40 hours per week (100%) in the TERENA Amsterdam office. TERENA offers a competitive package of salary and benefits which may include relocation expenses if appropriate. Duties Project Development Officers play an essential role in the development and co-ordination of the TERENA Technical Programme providing technical and administrative support to the TERENA Technical Committee, the Working Groups and Task Forces. Activities undertaken by the PDOs include participation in Working Group and Task Force meetings, writing of documentation including meeting minutes, overall project management and project co-ordination. Information dissemination through the World Wide Web, other on-line means and preparation of printed material are also important aspects of the PDOs work. There may also be the opportunity to make presentations on the work of TERENA at conferences and to participate in teaching sessions of training workshops. The management of technical projects is however a major component of the duties. The work will inevitably require some degree of travel. Qualifications Candidates should be educated to degree level and have a detailed understanding and experience of advanced computer networking. This should include a working knowledge of Internet and related standards preferably including an understanding of the international networking scene. An understanding of good project management practice from project definition, financial resourcing, definition and monitoring of milestones, through to completion and maintenance would be an advantage. A good knowledge of written and spoken English is essential. Willingness to travel on official business in Europe and possibly beyond is necessary. Further Information Further information on the technical aspects of the job may be obtained from John Dyer, TERENA Chief Technical Officer <dyer(a)terena.nl>. Applications Applications which must include the names and addresses of two confidential referees should be sent either electronically or in hardcopy to Ms Mina Jansse, TERENA Personnel and Organisation Officer <janssen(a)terena.nl>, before 1 November 1996. The intention is to hold interviews for short listed candidates in Amsterdam during the week commencing 18th November 1996. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association * * * * TERENA Tel : +31-20-639-1131 * * Singel 466-468 Fax : +31-20-639-3289 * * 1017 AW Amsterdam * * The Netherlands URL: http://www.terena.nl * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
