  1. Look Back at the 2005 Group A Report Quilt Fall Member Meeting 2010

  2. Group A Report • Vision for Global Network for Research and Education • Evolution of Architecture • Needs of End-Users and Sites • Needs of the Community

  3. Vision for Global R&E Network • Should constitute a general purpose, flexible, interoperable, cohesive, and secure communications platform • Accommodates current, anticipated, and unforeseen requirements gracefully, reliably, and cost-effectively in ways which maximize options allow for change • Goal is to evolve a pervasive communications fabric that fosters innovation and serves as the foundation for the development of applications that encourage collaboration, the sharing and integration of human and material resources, technology transfer and commercialization, and substantial improvements in research and education.

  4. Evolution of Architecture • Cost-effective dark fiber, especially regionally, enables a new networking paradigm. • Expect new network architecture to emerge that supports a broad range of network services, from dark fiber and co-location at the most fundamental level, through more deterministic services such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) tunnels via the IP substrate, to shared or dedicated Gigabit Ethernet channels and dedicated 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) wavelengths. • The community anticipates services of varying class and duration.

  5. Community Needs

  6. Community Needs Cont’d

  7. Potential Model for Next Gen R&E Network

  8. Longer Term View (3-5 Years) • Moving into the domain of "the virtual network," akin, in the context of computers, to the virtual machine. • The virtual network isn't really a network per se, but rather a programmable research, development, and provisioning platform comprising a dynamically configurable collection of communications resources that can be systematically cast and recast, interconnected and partitioned, in response to need.

  9. 5 Years Later… • Is the vision still relevant? • How well has it served its purpose? • Stratification of needs • Who do you build for? • What do you build toward?

  10. The Next 3-5 Years
