Open Exchanges

• Open Exchanges is a stepping stone for open collaborations (e.g. technical or organisational) where trust plays important part

• Anyone may become a member of an Open Exchange • Links may be connected to the Open Exchange • All members are allowed to exchange any kind of traffic • There’s no policy inside the Open Exchange

preventing any destinationor kind of data

• “Policy is open”

Open Exchanges

• An Open Internet Exchange (e.g. AMS-IX and AlbertIX) plays a supporting role by offering a shared and open infrastructure where multiple networks can meet at a central location in order to exchange IP traffic

• Open Lightpath Exchanges (e.g. MAN LAN and Netherlight)

• Open Collaboration Exchange (OCX) is an exchange point where (inter)national Identity Providers and Service Providers can be interconnected at the lowest “cost”

• What is coming: Open Mobile Exchange • Next to the technical infrastructure the exchange requires

a policy and is also likely to include a governance body

Mobile explosion

• With around 20 million subscribers, the volume increased over 3,000% since 2008, peaking at 12 PB in first half of 2014

• Comparison: the Large Hadron Collider generates roughly 15 Petabytes annually...

Key features Mobile LAN (MoLAN)

• Scalable quality access and support beyond the confines of the campus

• Seamless integration of 3G/4G with office and campus Wi-Fi - Integrate 3G/4G access with the current campus ICT environment

(monitoring, security,..) - Bring Your Own Device: offers transparent ICT service offerings

• Unified identity management, based on eduroam principles

• Conform 3GPP standards; works with every mobile operator

How the solution works technically

• Device authenticates with the credentials on SIM card • End-user specifies details for APN for edu.nl with

eduroam credentials • Device requests access to APN

- Mobile operator uses Radius to send user information to SURFnet - SURFnet proxies user information to the institution - Institution informs SURFnet of successful authentication and

authorises access to institutional traffic or generic traffic - SURFnet or Institutions assigns IP address - Mobile operator requests L2TP tunnel from SURFnet

• User can send and receive data via 3G / 4G

One iMNC to rule them all

• Each NREN can choose its own mobile network operator to handle traffic

• When traveling, local operator sees international MNC and hence always associates the user with the local NREN

• Use a federated authentication approach to authenticate users

• Route traffic to the internet, as we use to do for fixed infrastructures

• No SIM exchanges when NREN chooses other mobile network operator

• Smart card can contain other applications • One can pay an operator / MVNE to manage the service
