  1. Supporting international science and engineering collaborations:  Internet2 and the global research and education network infrastructure Heather Boyles Director, International Relations Internet2 heather@internet2.edu

  2. Internet2 International Partnerships • Strategic importance to Internet2 • Global collaborations • Science, research, education are increasingly global • Require an equivalent GLOBAL leading edge networking capability – through partners around the world • System interoperability • Joint development of new technologies • International Partner Program: • Form partnerships with organizations in other countries with similar goals, national network operations, serving similar constituencies • Support international collaborative activities of Internet2 community

  5. US International Connectivity • 2 main sources • Partners outside the US procure and fund links to the US • US-funded: • US NSF provides funding through OCI’s International Research Network Connections program • DOE provides some funding for links specifically to CERN • Internet2 • Donations: IEEAF has made donations from Tyco Telecom available to the R&E networking community • Beyond direct links to the US • Transit via partner networks

  11. Global fabric of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) • NRENs • Pool demand, resources, expertise of the research and education community • Optimize network infrastructure for particular needs of research, teaching, learning • Interconnection on continental/regional scale • GEANT – Europe • redCLARA – Latin America • EUMEDCONNECT – North Africa • TEIN2 – Southeast Asia • Inter-continental connections

  12. Toward a More Effective Role for the U.S. Government in International Science and Engineering – National Science Board, April 2002 “The proliferation of complex and expensive projects requiring large facilities and specialized instrumentation requires partnering among many nations to make the total cost affordable for those participating. Researchers’ requirements for geographically specific materials and facilities transcend national boundaries. In addition, many research problems, both disciplinary and multidisciplinary, require scientists and engineers in different countries to work together.”

  13. Gemini South telescope in Chile • NSF and 7 other countries funding • Connected to the Chilean R&E network, REUNA • REUNA is connected to redCLARA pan-Latin American R&E network • Internet2 network and redCLARA interconnected by IRNC-funded WHREN-LILA project Courtesy: WHREN-LILA project

  14. Gemini North telescope in Hawaii • Twin telescope in northern hemisphere – Mauna Kea, HI • NSF-funded IRNC project leverages significant Australian investment across Pacific to connect telescopes • Path to Gemini South via US to redCLARA and REUNA networks

  16. US-India connectivity • No direct connectivity currently between US and India • Internet2 partnership with GEANT provides for transit • Via GEANT2 in Europe • 45 Mbps link between Italy and Mumbai • Co-funded by European Commission and India’s MCIT • Opportunity for US to complement with connection via Pacific

  17. Beyond network connectivity • National authentication and authorization infrastructure • Many NRENs are operating national federations (like Internet2’s InCommon) • Interconnecting these national federations internationally will be important • To support access by US researchers to resources, facilities as part of an international scientific collaboration • Joint development opportunities • Performance monitoring and measurement infrastructure • Have done joint development with European colleagues • Leveraged resources the European Commission has provided • Inter-domain control plane for dynamic services • CANARIE (Canada), GEANT (Europe), Esnet, Internet2 collaborating to jointly develop – leverage each others’ resources

  18. Summary • National Research and Education Networks around the world are prevalent and growing • US science and engineering is dependent on access to and utilization of these networks and related capabilities in other countries • The Internet2 network provides access to this global network infrastructure for US community • Albeit limited, NSF plays a critical role in global R&E network infrastructure • Internet2 partnerships help the US community leverage resources ($$) and expertise of other countries
