— Investigations have shown that interior places of the
nation lacked capacity for high speed Internet usage; except
the cosmopolitan sections. This article, therefore,
conceptualizes a robust Broadband roadmap that can
effectively deliver IP-wholesale and IP-retail services, through
traffic convergence. The interconnect platforms are designed to
ensure automatic re-routing of broadband traffic during link
or node failure. The IP-wholesale services can be delivered to
all main cities in Nigeria through different wholesale hobs
connected to the optic fibre backbone of converged carriers.
Through these measures, IP-backbone with core-routers shall
be created. From this traffic level, regional IP-network
operators can feed into the IP-backbone; with the main tasks of
creating resilience in the network. All IP-traffic going to the
Internet will be divided over 3 physical separate landing
stations to either SAT-3, GLO-1 or MAIN-1 sea cables. This
system shall have the advantage whereby any sea-cable cut on
one of the operators (owner) shall not cause complete traffic
failure to and from Internet. Further to this, the Internet
Gateway facility shall be sited in high density metropolitan
cities with high consumption capacity. Metropolitan cities such
as Lagos, Port-Harcourt, Kano and Abuja shall be selected for
data traffic interconnection point. All the Gateways shall
function as Tele-house facility. Through these mechanisms
apart from securing the highly redundant IP network, valuable
data can be stored at these locations. The main advantage of
this model is that they share the use of the access network.
Through this venture, the ISPs shall focus their efforts to their
main task: providing Internet related services like IP WEBhosting, E-mail services, value added services; without
worrying about transmission and distribution of traffic
generated.
