  2. Internet2: International Collaborations Ana Preston apreston@internet2.edu Reunion Otoño CUDI 2002 Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico

  3. Outline for today’s talk • Quick update on Internet2 • International Partnerships • International Collaboration Highlights • Observations

  4. Internet2: Mission and Goals • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher education, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s internet. • Enable new generation of applications • Create leading edge R&E network capability: Supporting advanced service efforts (multicast, IPv6, QoS, Measurement, Security) • Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet

  5. 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

  6. Internet2 Focus Areas • Advanced Applications • Middleware • Network Engineering • End to End Performance • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Partnerships

  7. Collaborative Partnerships: a glimpse of much work underway… • Advanced Applications – apps.internet2.edu • Middleware – middleware.internet2.edu • Shibboleth (middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth) • Security – Internet2-Educause Security Task Force • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Abilene upgrade • International peering • Network Engineering • End to End Performance • IPv6, Multicast, Measurement • Partnerships • International Partners

  8. An effort to encourage and support large-scale, distributed collaboration for R&E Enabling one-to-one, one-to-group, and group-to-group collaboration Supporting personal communications, meetings, conferences, and teaching and learning Share best practices Guide to implementations facilitate development & deployment of projects For Internet2 members and their international partners Voice/IP Peer to Peer Collaboratories H.323 Electronic Notebooks Data Sharing Instant Messaging Others VRVS AG MPEG2 Others Other Collaborative Technologies Videoconferencing Technologies The Internet2 Commons The Internet2 Commons

  9. Internet2 CommonsInternational coordination: how to achieve… • Draw from international R&E networks / HW-SW standards, training, dialing plans (international steering committee) • Organize workshops and outreach to facilitate delivering classes on collaboration services • “Train the trainers” emphasis • Build on common training materials with local translations • Collocated with major regional conferences • Create “speakers, trainers, and consultants bureau” for referral of experts • Outreach and resources (e.g. directory of international videoconferencing services) • commons.internet2.edu

  10. End-to-End Performance Initiative • To enable the researchers, faculty, students and staff who use high performance networks to obtain optimal performance from the current infrastructure on a consistent basis. Applications Performance Raw Connectivity • True End-to-End Performance requires a system approach •  user perception, OS, Host IP stack, Host network card, …LAN, Campus, regional network/GigaPoP, link to I2 national backbones….all the way to International connections!

  11. E2E piPEline • End-to-End Performance Initiative Performance Environment System • http://e2epi.internet2.edu/index.shtml • Goal: To allow end-users and network operators to determine performance capabilities, locate problems, and contact the right person to get a problem resolved. • Approach: Collaborative project combining the best work of many organizations

  12. Abilene: major updatesNational and International • Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure • Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US • Peering at major international exchange points in U.S. encouraged • NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and one interconnection point • TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet/NAUKAnet, STAR TAP
