  1. Global Cooperation, the IRNC and TransPAC2 James Williams Indiana University TransPAC2 Principal Investigator williams@indiana.edu

  2. Topics to be discussed • The NSF IRNC awards • TransPAC2 goals and objectives • TransPAC2 partnerships

  3. The NSF International Research Network Connections Program (IRNC) • Follow-on to the HPIIS program • 5 year, $5million/yr NSF-funded effort • 5 awards made (about $1M each/yr)

  4. IRNC goals • Deploy networking to support production science between the US researchers and global collaborators • Deploy some fundamental infrastructure and services required by scientists now and in the future (e2e tools; security; AAI; HOPI) • Coordinate project efforts globally

  5. IRNC awards • TransPAC2 – connection between US and Asia • GLORIAD2 – connection between US and Russia/China • TransPAC2 and GLORIAD2 will connect in Hong Kong providing Asian connectivity to Russia and possibly Europe • EuroLink2 – connection between US and Europe (NYC and Geant2) • AMPATH2 – connection between US west coast, Latin America and Miami • PWave2 – connection between US (Seattle), US (Hawaii) and Australia • TransPAC2 and PWave will connect in Los Angeles.

  6. The TransPAC2 Project • Funded by the US National Science Foundation (SCI-0441096) • US partners are Indiana University and Internet2 • Asian partner is APAN • About $1M/year in funding for 5 years • Encourages scientific collaboration between researchers in Asia and the US

  7. TransPAC2 Architecture • Continue high-performance connectivity across the Pacific Ocean [OC-192 connection between US and Tokyo] • Enhance connectivity by assisting in the development of an inter-Asia backbone [Tokyo-Hong Kong-Singapore] or beyond

  8. TransPAC2 Architecture(2)

  10. TransPAC2 Goals • Provide production networking to facilitate research cooperation between the US and Asia • Cooperation with Internet2 HOPI project • US-Asian cooperation on “lightpath” technologies will be crucial in future development • Initial assets will allow for MPLS and GMPLS-like experimentation, with future equipment possibly supporting layer 2 and layer 1 services • Security coordination • Measurement coordination • AAI development

  11. TransPAC2 Current Status • TransPAC2 has received NSF funding (SCI-0441096) • James Williams – Indiana University –Principal Investigator • Douglas Van Houweling – Internet2 – Co-PI • APAN network owners are committed to the TransPAC2 effort. • Purchase of OC-192c services between US and Tokyo is in process • Purchase of US end equipment in process (Juniper router to be located in Los Angeles) Now is the time to discuss international partnerships and network engineering. APAN is the right place. We have the opportunity to establish the network infrastructure required by the next generation of science.

  12. Interesting networking observations • The “bandwidth problem” between the US and Asia has been solved! >60Gbps available as of 4/1/05. • The “access problem” within Asia continues. The Tien2 Project is one effort to address this problem. • The “north-south” problem within Asia continues. Now we have to address the network service infrastructure and scientific collaboration problem.

  13. TransPAC2 Partnerships(really global partnerships) • Primary IRCN goal: Facilitating global production research collaborations, including grid, climate, HEP and earthquake research activities • Infrastructure partnerships • We must extend both high-performance infrastructure and access to that infrastructure. The extension of TransPAC2 north-south in Asia is extremely important. • Operational partnerships • Operational cooperation between all countries is important (NOC operations, security incident reporting…); • Research and development partnerships • Collaborations between network researchers in Asia and the TransPAC2/Internet2 team are needed in areas like HOPI research; measurement activities; security cooperation; AAI activities and circuit allocation mechanisms
