The Telephone Dialtone I Dialtone - the sound we’ve come to love, trust, and depend on I lt’s always there for you I Means the network is ready to place or receive calls I If not there - phone must be broken I Taken for granted by users

Slide 3

Slide 3 text

Dialtone as Service I For phone companies, dial tone is not trivial, its a SERVICE I Many kinds of dialtone sen/ice: ~ LifeLine, Residential, Business, Party Line, PBX I Incoming, outgoing, local only calls I # of sen/ices limited by regulation, lack of competition I Long Distance Sen/ices: competition, many types - Friends &family, etc.

The Busy Signal I Hardly heard anymore, due to ~ answering machines, voice mail, fon/varding, cell phones, pagers I Busy == Failure I Seems like we only get it trying to reach the Internet I Widely reported AOL busy problems I ATT Reliability Challenge - 94% success and climbing

Slide 5

Slide 5 text

The Busy Network I Féatgt Busy signal means the network is busy, not the I Even without ISP problems, network has problems I The phone network is not engineered to meet Internet requirements I PacBeIl - 27% of residential Minutes Of Use in 1996 were for Internet access I People who depend on the Internet avoid dial-up problems by being connected all the time... I REAL INTERNET USERS DON’T GET BUSY SIGNALS

Slide 6 text

The Consumer (Dial-Up) Internet I TODA Y’S CONSUMER INTERNET IS NOT WHAT ANYONE WANTS I Users don’t like it I Internet Service Providers don’t like it I Phone Companies don’t like it

Slide 7

Slide 7 text

Users don ’t like Dial-Up I Not reliable - 94% reliability is not enough for any consumer product I Too much time for short transactions ~ 2-3 minutes to dialup, listen to modems ~ all to find no email I Misconfiguration can cause big billing problems - Automated transparent dialing I Consumers need reliability, instant gratification, safety net

Slide 8

Slide 8 text

ISPs don ’t like Dial-Up i I Harder to support than full time connections I Configuration / Authentication issues I No quality control over connection I Hard to compete with un-differentiated sen/ice I Bizarre effect - well established |SPs have fewer dialup customers than younger ones _

Slide 9

Slide 9 text

Phone companies don ’t like Dial-Up I Most Internet calls are free, local, long duration calls - (free in US, often subsidized in other countries) I Costs a lot of money to maintain and enhance phone network I No revenue from fastest growing use I Economic reality will soon overthrow current regulations I Are lSPs customers or competitors of phone companies?

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

Dial-Up is Dead All 3 interest groups involved in dial-up - users, lSPs, phone companies - don’t like it. The lSPs and phone companies lose money, the users lose patience with dial-up For acceptable sen/ice & sustainable growth, must abandon dial-up model of Internet access DIAL-UP IS DEAD - WHAT THE CONSUMER NEEDS IS IP DIALTONE -

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

IP DialTone n IP Dialtone - a permanent open channel to the internet it The network becomes only a packet away, not a phone call away It Lets you get to the network, but also lets the network come to you it Like telephone dialtone, IP Dialtone is a single interface to many different services - Internet, intranet, extranet, etc. l 1 _

Business Network of Today I Dilbert’s mom gets it I For success, copy what businesses do I Frame relay drop to Ethernet LANs is wildly popular for internet access ~ not a dialup solution I THE NETWORK MODEL FOR THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW WILL BE THE SAME AS FOR THE BUSINESS OF TODAY

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

Business of Today I TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE HOME WON’T SUCCEED UNTIL THEY’VE BEEN MA TURED BY BUSINESSES - AND MADE A LOT CHEAPER I Look at other consumer/tech items - FAX, PCs, Cell Phones, Pagers I Cost and maturity are most often achieved through evolution & refinement, not revolution I’ Continuum of markets between office & home - schools, hotel, apartments, universities, cafes, arcades, cars...

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

From Business to Home I Today, many office users already have IP Dialtone - they’re connected all the time I What will happen as IP Dialtone makes its way to the house of tomorrow?

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

Home Usage I BANDWIDTH@HOME > BANDWIDTH@ WORK I Need it - for effective telecommuting I Want it - for the fun stuff on the Internet ~ 3D VR Real time gaming - Video on Demand - Catalog Shopping ~ Effective Gov’t Access I Get it - because others want to get it to you I Already - more MIPS/PC @ home

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

Services I Raw bandwidth and simple connectivity are not enough to satisfy the fickle consumer, or even today’s business I CONNECTIVITY IS BECOMING A COMMODITY, REAL DEMAND IS TURNING TO BETTER AND MORE DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

Differentiated Services I bandwidth - access bandwidth control, end-end bandwidth guarantees for some paths / offices/ transactions I latency - guarantees of good response for interactive gaming or voice applications I priority - first class, business, coach style I privacy - encryption & anti-snooping, VPNs, extranets I reliability - redundant provision, rebates for downtime I billing plans - cell phone options I Content related services - being close to the data

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Why Services? I Without well defined, consistent & measurable levels of service, customers will become frustrated & lose interest I Providers need differentiated sen/ices to manage revenue, differentiate customers, not be stuck in commodity business

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Current Differentiated ISPs I ISPs already starting to differentiate.. . I Toyota Digital Cruise ~ Connects all Toyota suppliers, dealers, factories - Target efficiencies in the supply & delivery functions - Worldwide, gateways to the rest of the Internet I Sprint DRUMS - Production collaboration tools for Hollywood ~ Studio or field connections I Freese-Notis Weather Net ~ Gather & Distribute weather information - High bandwidth, near real time, big agro customers

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

Corporations as Service Providers I IF YOU RUN THE CORPORATE NETWORK, YOU’RE A SERVICE PROVIDER TOO I If you’re a monopoly, just ignore the users - but these days, the CEO is a user too I 2 ways to better service ~ socialist -_ add resources everywhere, hope users stop complaining, charge everyone ~ capitalist - control the resources so that users who pay for more resources get them; users who pay less get less I ln a small company, or at home, we’re one happy family - but as we grow, we need different rooms, good fences, control in the network

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

Driving Forcesfor IP Dialtone I Customer Interest I Content Providers I Internet as a new, efficient medium I Advertising I Competition

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Customer Interest I Business and consumer interest levels are extremely high I Beyond technical revolution to social revolution I New forms of social interaction - email, surfing, chat rooms, MUDs, MOOs I We may not understand why, but why ask why?

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

Content Providers I If you can imagine it, its on the Internet I Can’t begin to index the indices I Now anyone can publish, apparently there’s some basic human urge to do so I But businesses become content providers because

Slide 27

Slide 27 text

Advertising I All this stuff will require a lot of new infrastructure. Who will pay? There’s someone willing and eager to pay for the bandwidth... ADVERTISERS I Advertising already pays for - newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, junk mail I Telephone? Over 1/2 of phone calls are now to toll- free, business funded numbers I Internet is great at both mass media and direct marketing - they know who we are and what we like

Slide 29

Slide 29 text

Competition I Effective competition exists or is coming ~ between content providers - between Internet Sen/ice Providers ' between equipment & software providers - between basic infrastructure providers I Everyone wants a piece of the action I Everyone with real estate, right-of-way, or radio spectrum wants a piece of the Internet

Slide 30

Slide 30 text

New Infrastructure I The result of these driving forces is incredible activity and growth in all the infrastructures which can deliver digital data. I Bringing us IP Dialtone is what they will all have in common. I As we speak, they’re digging up our streets and launching rockets to get to our houses. I YOU WILL BE CONNECTED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Slide 31

Slide 31 text

Telephone Infrastructure I telephone companies are looking for more uses for their wires in place - 700 Million I phone companies have best assets for IP Dialtone I but regulations & business models hold them back I xDSL, ADSL - 100x faster than modems I requires all new packet switched backbone

I n The profusion of high bandwidth access technologies will require new backbone bandwidth to support them. I WDM - Wavelength Division Multiplexing - cures bandwidth bottlenecks in network backbones without the need to lay more and more fiber in the ground n Check out a company called CIENA

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

Infrastructures I The profusion of L1, physical layer, technologies is good - many different niches in the physical world I Curiously, most deliver great downstream bw, but not upstream I Like Paris last century, fashionable to improve water systems in every administration - but no one ever fixed the sewers!

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

What’s common? I These new infrastructures all seek to deliver the same sen/ices, so they have more common properties than unique I Consumers don’t care how the bits get there, as long as they get a service they understand - IP Dialtone. n Network operators and equipment vendors want to take advantage of new infrastructure technologies with minimal investment and disruption to their established products and services - layer 1 is a after all only a small slice of the Internet pie

Slide 38

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

IP Switching I As different services proliferate, the decisions get harder - priority, security, speed limits/guarantees I IP Switching identifies flows of packets, packets which all receive the same treatment, allows cost of complex decisions to be spread over many packets I Flows are what the users experience, and what IP Switching controls I In essence, lP Switching efficiently provides the different sen/ices that the users expect, be they listening to CB Radio, AM News, or FM Stereo

Slide 42

Slide 42 text

Tomorrow ’s Internet I Given the power of the driving forces, the competing infrastructures, and the unifying technologies, what will the sen/ice rich Internet of Tomorrow be like? I The Dial-Up paradigm will definitely be gone, with IP Dialtone in its place I You’ll be connected all the time I You use of the Internet will be immediate, casual, and dependable I Many new applications will be possible.

Slide 43

Slide 43 text

Voice on the Internet I Today it's Internet over the voice network. Tomorrow it’s voice over the Internet. I Voice over IP is not a new thing, studied for 20 years I Recently become tolerable because of bandwidth in the Internet and horsepower in the PC I Easily 5x more bandwidth efficient than phone network I Won’t get far without some level of guaranteed sen/ice in the network - possible now, but barely deployed

Slide 44

Slide 44 text

Video over IP I Video over IP, coming soon to a screen near you I Video conferencing, video on demand, video broadcasting are on the way - postage stamp PC windows don’t do it for me I Not yet quite tolerable in most networks - need more bandwidth, more horsepower I Nevertheless, lots of video sources on the Internet - WebCams for traic, beach conditions, etc. I Next century’s gramophone will have a new definition - quality videoconferencing with grandmom! _.____l

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

IP Multicast I Multicast allows simultaneous delivery of information to multiple interested recipients - A fundamental tool for conservation of bandwidth n Not widely deployed - poorly supported by routers n Especially needed for real time, multimedia events I Tomorrow - tune into your favorite sport in the Olympics via the Internet

Slide 46

Slide 46 text

The Secure Internet I As Firewalls and encryption become widely deployed, the Internet will become far more secure than the telephone network. n This fact annoys government agencies who are trying their best to slow things down so they don’t lose wiretapping capabilities. I CheckPoint is the leading vendor in this industiy. n Checkpoint’s latest products now available, fully integrated with lpsilon IP Switching. l 4e l l l

Slide 47

Slide 47 text

Developing Countries I Each country/geography will have infrastructure that fits it ~ US is ahead, but for how long? - Urban will be always be better than rural u Malaysia MultiMedia Super Corridor - $2B, 200 sq mi “bandwidth park” I Singapore - fiber to every public housing project, gas stations becoming Internet Cafes I Cost to build Internet from scratch less than to build voice network from scratch - build Internet, run voice ontop

Slide 48

Slide 48 text

The Changing ISP I This is the year that the Internet comes of age - it must leave its birthplace in the phone network and strike out on its own I To succeed in the Internet of tomorrow, carriers must become ISPs, and ISPs must become carriers I once dial-up is gone, there’s no longer a separate network with its own sen/ice peculiarities, between a user and their ISPs I Today’s ISPs rent bandwidth, sell connectivity; tomorrow’s ISPs build infrastructure and sell services

Slide 49

Slide 49 text

Summary I The New Internet will be as critical and influential as we move forward as the phone system has been in this century. I IP Dialtone, with its network services, will enable the casual yet dependable use of the Internet by anyone, anywhere I The Internet is the most powerful tool yet for giving everyone the power of information and communication. I We are only at the beginning of the change this will have on society, both good and bad.

Slide 50

Slide 50 text

Obstacles n There are obstacles in the path of the New Internet: I Regulators must stop punishing phone companies for their former monopoly. n Phone companies must stop looking to regulators to solve technology problems. 1 Standards bodies must focus on refinement, not invention. The Internet is moving too fast to be reinvented. I Users must learn to insist on Internet sen/ices that make sense, both for themselves and the sen/ice providers.

Slide 51

Slide 51 text

Close I The way must be cleared for users to have IP Dialtone - the assurance of Internet services that we can love, trust, and depend on. n The Global Village is here I IP Dialtone puts your home in the global village
