  1. Internet2 and Global CollaborationsHeather BoylesDirector, International RelationsInternet2heather@internet2.edu19 February 2003Hong Kong

  2. Internet2 Mission and Goals • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet. • Enable new generation of applications • Create leading edge R&E network capability • Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet

  3. University Leadership • 200 university members with commitments from their Presidents/Chancellors/Rectors • 60+ corporate members • Over 40 Affiliate Members • Government Research Agencies • Internet2/U.S. Government: separate but interdependent • Internet2 International Partner Program

  4. Internet2 Universities202 University Members, January 2003

  5. Internet2 – JUCC partnership • Internet2 – JUCC Partnership • (via Memorandum of Understanding) • In place since August 2000 • Abilene – HARNET Peering • Agreement in place since August 2000 • Connectivity in place since September 2002 • Internet2 – JUCC/HARNET users collaborations • Let this launch event provide a basis for starting new work together!

  6. International Partnerships • Ensure global interoperability • of the next generation of Internet technologies and applications • Enable global collaboration • in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally • Build effective partnerships with organizations • similar goals/objectives • similar constituencies • Mechanism: Memoranda of • Understanding

  8. Internet2 Areas of Work • Advanced Applications • Middleware • Network Engineering • End to End Performance • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Partnerships and Outreach

  9. How Internet2 works • Universities commit: • Engineering lead: connect university to rest of Internet2 community, deploy new technologies • Applications lead: support apps development on campus • Middleware architect: work with I2MI to implement middleware infrastructure • Working groups: • Of expert/interested individuals within community • Chaired by volunteer (sometimes by staff) • Staff support • Projects/Initiatives: • Where collective resources needed • E.g. Commons Initiative, End to End Performance Initiative

  10. Internet2 staff • Primarily facilitate, coordinate work of Internet2 members • E.g. Ted’s applications team • Support working groups • Posting working group notes (see the www.internet2.edu website) • Support meetings of the community • “Joint Techs” – network engineers • Hands-on training workshops – IPv6 and multicast deployment, Internet2 Commons site Coordinator Training

  15. Internet2 Backbone Network(s) • Have had two backbones in the past: • vBNS (NSF supported, run by MCIWorldcom) • Abilene (Internet2 member supported, run by UCAID) • Abilene is current backbone network • 11 core router nodes • Moving to 10Gbps core backbone links • Connections to the backbone at 622mbps to 10Gbps • Most universities aggregate connections through “gigapops” or regional aggregator networks

  31. How can you engage? • Have a collaborator, scientific facility, resource you need to reach in another country? • Learn about the path connectivity may take • Arena.internet2.edu or international.internet2.edu • Let your campus and inter-campus network people know • What kind of network services do you need? What kinds of applications would you like to utilize?

  32. Engage, continued • Want to learn how others are deploying advanced network services? • Join APAN working group • Attend (in person or virtually) an Internet2 “Joint Techs” meeting; hands-on workshop; TERENA meeting • Almost all Internet2 meetings (although not hands-on workshops) are webcast; so are most APAN and TERENA meetings
