4 Concurrency / Data Forwarding Concurrency Data Forwarding (JU) (JU + PU=CIU) J2.2, J3.2 etc. M1, M81, M2, M82 etc. J2.2, J3.2 etc. Forwarding Filters? M1, M81, M2, M82 etc. (JU) (PU) (FJU) (PU) Concurrent on which Links? Forwarding between which Links?

5 Gateways Format X in Gateway Format Y out Format Z out Which Gateway? Which Formats Which Editions / Versions Many versions / version recognition Which Changes Longevity in the Network(s) and relative / geographic position

6 Nodes (JU) J2.2, J3.2 etc. Format X in M1, M81, M2, M82 etc. Gateway Format Y out Format Z out (FJU) (PU) These are excellent multi-tdl functions and tools. However they may also become fundamental, and perhaps vulnerable, Nodes. We may not be nodeless!

7 IFDL (JU) Data Forwarding - Unintended Loops? J2.2, J3.2 etc. (JU) (FJUN) (JU) Link 4A (FJUAB) (PU) M1, M81, M2, M82 etc. M1, M81, M2, M82 etc. F1.0, F F1-1 etc. Link 16 Link 11 (PU) Data Loop (NU) Link 22 (FNUA)

8 Network Management Process

9 Link 22 - Super-network HF 1 HF 2 UHF 1

10 NILE Networks The maximum number of Networks in which a single NU can directly participate is FOUR The maximum number of networks comprising a single super-network is eight.

11 Mission Area Sub-networks e.g. Super-Network - consisting of three Networks and incorporating 4 Mission Area Sub- Networks (MASNs) NETWORK 1 MASN 19 SUPER-NETWORK NETWORK 2 MASN 22 MASN 20 All units can be individually addressed by any other unit via NU or MASN address. Any routing is automatic, where necessary via relays MASN 21 NUs NETWORK 3

12 Who s on which Network & Why NILE Network Planning = Active TX/RX = Radio Silent = Receive-Only NUs: NN1 NN2 NN3 NN4 How much capacity for each NU per network Who is silent Where are the vulnerable nodes Data Forwarding impact What Access delay Unit capability Radios What Frequencies What Media Setting Numbers Initialisation Method Tactical MASNs TDMA or DTDMA Network Roles Super Network Roles Standby Roles Relay Planning Geographic disposition

13 What Initialisation method(s)? Network Planning Net Cycle Times per NN? What NUs are in which Network? Network Planning What is the Capacity Need For each NU? Who is SNMU? Who are the NMU(s) What are the MASN compositions? How many and where are Priority Interrupt Slots? Which Media, Frequencies, MSNs, Media Fragmentation Rate?

14 Link 11 ML Network Planning What PUs are in which Network? PU / RU Numbers/ Terminal Addresses? Net Mode / Network Roll Call? Network Planning Crypto Variables per Network? CLEW or SLEW Per Link 11 Net? If CLEW Data Rate NCS / GRU / etc Polling Sequence? Which Media, Frequencies, and alternates. Dual Net and/or Multi Freq?

15 VMF ML Network Planning What VUs are in which Network? Which Bearer? MIL-STD A, B, C, D Network Planning Which Bearer? Have Quick, SINCGARS Implementation / Unit? What Header? MIL-STD A, B, C, D Entity Numbers/TN Mapping TQ / Real Time vs Non Real Time? Which Media, Frequencies?

16 JRE - ML Network Planning How many JREs? Function What media per JRE? Time references for alternative media Network Planning Link specific parameters (data rates, etc.) Sender ID (IU Number) Link Designators: for each alternative link and each TDL network serviced by a Gateway Latency thresholds? Cumulative Latency Transmit Filters / Bandwidth? Data forwarding matrix

17 Common Issues - ML Network Planning IU Number distribution? Impact of Link 11 PU Terminal Addresses? Network Planning Duties / Roles JICO/RICO/TDC EMCON Frequencies? HF Spectrum L11 vs L22 NNs Unit Capabilities? vs Tactical vs Strategic Links, Nodes, Equipment Geographic / Relative Disposition? Transmit Filters / Bandwidth? Forwarding Filters

18 Usability Operator & HMI Implemented Message Sets / Interoperability Command Systems Tactical Data System Processing & Storage CMIS CSS GCCS-M IBS/CMF Highway TCP/IP Common Processing / Protocols/ Forwarding DLPS SATCOM JRE A/STDL integrations DLP and HMI SATCOM issues. JRE C The NGC2P identification of SATCOM interoperability MTP issues TIBS/TMD Common Processor Where are we going? Link 16 The, immediate, and for most, Link 11 the foreseeable CLIP future, will still have many, bearers, formats and differing implementations, remains essential for operation planning and use of data exchange systems.
