  2. Outline • Major trends in Networking • Optical networks tutorial • Internet2 and beyond • What does it mean for BRIN? • High-speed network applications • Getting better connectivity for us

  3. Continued Growth in Internet Usage

  4. Industry Trends- Single Fiber Capacity 10000 1000 Optical networking for increased functionality ATM, IP ... 100 Research Systems Capacity (Gb/s) 10 Commercial Systems Multi wavelength transmission to meet capacity requirements SONET 1 Fiberization Digitization 0.1 1985 1990 1995 2000 Year

  5. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Single Optical Amplifier Multiple Amplifiers • Increases capacity using existing fiber • Permits graceful growth, a wavelength at a time • Reduces cost of adding bandwidth .

  6. Optical Network Switching and Routing Strategies Highly Dynamic Optical switching Integrated MPlS routing Frequent, flexible Real-time connections WDM channel provisioning Static Static network configuration Fewer, fixed connections Time

  7. What & Why of NextGen Optical Networking • Customer-controlled fiber and/or lambdas • Opportunities for more bandwidth, non-contention-based bandwidth & and breakable research networks • Lower marginal costs of expansion by adding lambdas • Platform for new networking research (connection-oriented) using lambda-switching • Leverages unique market conditions: availability of fiber and optical equipment

  8. Outline • Major trends in Networking • Optical networks tutorial • Internet2 and beyond • What does it mean for BRIN? • High-speed network applications • Getting better connectivity for us

  16. Using the Internet for Bioinformatics

  17. Virtual LaboratoriesUsing UCSD facilities on line

  18. Watching the brain in action:MRI + High-speed networks + super computing http://www.psc.edu/science/Goddard/goddard.html

  19. Access Grid: Reaching the World East Carolina University

  20. A Few Access Grid “AG” Facts • Developed by the Futures Laboratory at Argonne National Laboratory • Deployed by the NCSA PACI Alliance • The Access Grid is now in use at over 160 institutions worldwide http://www.accessgrid.org

  21. What is an AG? • Advanced Videoconferencing System • Internet2 • Multicasting Technology • Multiple Sites around the World • Multiple Views of each Site • Interactive Environment • Shared Presentations and Applications • Small Personal Spaces • Large Collaborative Environments

  22. Who Uses AG? • Higher Education Institutions • Corporations • Government • Research Laboratories • Supercomputing Centers

  23. What can an AG be used for? • Share Research Developments and Methods • Teach Joint Courses • Host Special Educational Seminars • Exchange ideas and join Dynamic discussions • Large-scale Distributed Meetings with Colleagues Worldwide

  24. Use of the Access Grid Node Collaborative Research on Tumors

  25. Outline • Major trends in Networking • Optical networks tutorial • Internet2 and beyond • What does it mean for BRIN? • High-speed network applications • Getting better connectivity for us

  26. Why Does It All Matter? • Our researchers need to be full members of all local, regional, national & international communities of interest • For many, this already requires high-performance connectivity from the desktop to the world • (For others, it will soon)

  27. Optical networks for demanding collaborative applications – beyond Internet2 • Several applications at MSU that demand high bandwidth connectivity, low latency, remote computation, real-time visualization: • CCB: Neuroscience application requiring distributed processing, remote real-time access to multiple, distributed data sets • Solar Physics: Satellite operations, Virtual Solar Observatory • Ag Science: Multi-state program involving remote sensing data, visualization • INRA Subsurface Soil Science PhD program

  28. Start with the campus • 100Mbps switched to the desktop • More for specialized apps, 10Mbps switched where necessary and accept its limits • Drive at least to a fiber-based distribution system • Multicast required for many apps • Tune key servers & clients! • Wireless for ubiquity & mobility • Bandwidth management where needed

  29. Key Intra-State Networking Strategies • Technologies • Dark fiber -- where possible • High-speed leased services • Microwave • Emerging & non-emerging wireless approaches • Satellite • Procurement Approaches • Leverage regulatory capabilities • Buy • Lease • “Partner” with vendors • Collaborate with: K12? State? Feds? Museums? Problems are regionally idiosyncratic

  30. Staying Connected! • National initiatives are moving quickly and often exclude “us” • We need to learn from what they’re doing and apply lessons where we can • We need more help both from within and without Problems are regionally idiosyncratic but national in scope

  31. MIS BIL BZN Today’s research network backbone What’s wrong with this picture? SEA POR SAC BOS NYC CHI OGD DEN SVL CLE WDC PIT FRE KAN RAL NAS STR LAX PHO WAL ATL SDG OLG DAL Proposals submitted to NSF and NCRR to enable Montana to participate in main stream e-science

  32. Western BRIN InfoNet ProposalSubmitted to NCRR in July • Develop and implement a plan that will provide a high-speed telecommunications network for biomedical researchers in the group of six rural states currently on the other side of the geographical digital divide • Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming

  33. Western BRIN InfoNet ProposalPlans for Montana • Connect the Montana State University network to the Internet2 backbone in Seattle with high-speed fiber • Add Access Grid node capability dedicated to BRIN-related activities and engineered to interoperate effectively with other BRIN and Grid AGNodes • Work with other in-state campuses to provide top quality end-to-end performance for BRIN resources including Access Grid Nodes

  34. Western BRIN InfoNet ProposalResearch Projects - examples • Bioinformatics Grid, led by Sherrilynne Fuller at the University of Washington • BIRN Project, a grid-based distributed collaborative environment for brain imaging data led by Mark Ellisman at U.C. San Diego • NeuroSys Project,a data management system that allows individual researchers to annotate, query and share data led by Gwen Jacobs at Montana State University • Plus others……
