STATUS OF RTH MOSCOW
(Submitted by Expert (Russian Federation))
________________________________________________________________
Summary and Purpose of Document
This document includes the report on the status of implementation of
telecommunication centre and circuits at RTH Moscow
________________________________________________________________
Current status of RTH Moscow (1)







Message Switching System in RTH Moscow was replaced in
2000. It consists of two sub-systems: operational and standby.
MSS network software is based on TCP/IP procedures.
In addition, there are a limited number of asynchronous connections.
Russian broadcast system “Meteoinform” is also integrated to
the system.
TCP/IP Socket (Special) and FTP/WMO: are the basic data
exchange protocol used.
E-Mail: Messages can be received or transmitted via e-mail.
WWW: A/N messages and FAX charts can be received via webinterface.
Current status of RTH Moscow (2)
Links of RMDCN OBS/Equant (Exeter, Prague, Sofia, Norrkoping,
Beijing, New-Delhi, Bucharest) were migrated from F/R to IPVPN
MPLS network in June 2007 with success.
 Bandwidth of some links were extended during 2007-2008:
- RTH Novosibirsk up to 128 Kbps
- RTH Khabarovsk up to 256 Kbps
- NMC Minsk up to 128 Kbps

Future plans:




•
•
•
•
Establish backup connection to RTH Melbourn and RTH Sofia
through Internet VPN
Upgrade the B/W of RMDCN access circuit up to 1 Mbps
Migrate Moscow-Tbilisi, Moscow-Baku, Moscow-Erevan, MoscowKishinev, Moscow-Almaty links to RMDCN or establish digital lines
with these NMCs.
Upgrade next circuits:
Moscow-Khabarovsk up to 512 Kbps
Moscow-Novosibirsk up to 512 Kbps
Moscow-Minsk up to 256 Kbps
Moscow-Kiev up to 128 Kbps

The general technical decisions on development of the Russian
GISC/DCPC prototype
In 2008 the tender for the research work including as one a problem, construction
of the prototype Russian GISC is declared.
The general architecture and interaction
Picture 1 is presented the classical scheme of construction of interaction GISC DCPC (in view of direct interaction GISC – NC).

The general framework of the Russian
segment of information system WMO
(prototype GISC - Moscow – DCPCObninsk) is supposed to build on the
basis of solutions of (End-to-end, E2E)
technology and providing E2E
development for maintenance of full
standards and functionality according
to WIS Technical specifications.
The general technical decisions on development of the Russian
GISC/DCPC prototype (1)
The architectural approach on the basis of client-server technology with
«mediator/wrapper» mechanism is used:
 mediator is a software which, on the one hand, cooperates with the users of
integrating system, and, on the other hand, with the removed data sources;
 wrapper (or the adapter) is the intermediary between mediator and local system
of data. The wrapper carries out functions of a data source.
With regard for the approach indicated the main components of the Russian GISCDCPC prototype are the follows:
 Portal – registration of the users, data/products search using the system
metadata catalogue, data visualization or saving on user computer
 Integration Server (mediator) – metadata management (accumulation,
harvesting, synchronization, etc.), access/upload the DCPC (NC) metadata and
data via Data Provider software
 Data Provider (adapter) – local data registration, metadata generation, provision
of access to data

Figure 2 - Scheme of GISC – DCPC – NC
interaction on the Mediator/Wrapper model
And:
It is planned to use:
1) Integration Server at GISC
level for interaction with DCPC
(NС) and others GISC, and at
DCPC level for interaction with NC
and GISC;
2) Data Provider at DCPC(NC)
centers;
Data Provider will have two
version:
1)“full” – connection with local data
and generation of metadata
automatically;
2)“light” – remote registration data
source and interaction with
Integration Server. Under this
version the DCPC(NC) generates
the metadata by own software as
proposed canonical WIS
framework.
The general technical decisions on development of the Russian
GISC/DCPC prototype (3)
The Data Provider (NC level) is intended for interaction with local data
systems of NC, placed in the organizations – participants of Russian GISC.
The Integration Server at GISC level is responsible for DCPC/NC metadata
management and data acquisition from DCPC/NC and transfer to their
external users (GISC Portal). The Integration Server at DCPC level carries
out similar functions concerning NC’s of zone of the DCPC responsibility. The
GISC Portal realizes a single-enter in the integrated system, search and data
presentation.
Functionality of the prototype, as a whole, will meet the Technical
Specifications of WIS (special actions for check are planned):
 registration of users (the Portal + the Integration Server);
 search of data through metadata base (the Portal + the Integration Serve);
 accumulation and synchronization of metadata, realization of
request/response, sample and delivery of data (the Integration Server + the
Data Provider);
 local metadata updating (the Data Provider).
