  20. Middleware Challenges • Identify technologies that are scalable and interoperable • Increase deployment of middleware technologies as part of a pre-commercial production environment • Examples: • Distributed storage - I2DSI initiative • Multicast video tools - I2DVN initiative

  21. Engineering Objectives • Deploy a production network to support applications R&D • Establish quality of service (QoS) • Qbone initiative • Support native multicast • Establish gigaPoPs as effective service points

  22. I2 Interconnect Cloud Network Architecture GigaPoP One GigaPoP Two GigaPoP Three GigaPoP Four “Gigabit capacity point of presence” an aggregation point for regional connectivity

  23. I2 Interconnect Cloud GigaPoPs, cont. University A E.g. vBNS, Abilene GigaPoP One Commodity Internet Connections Regional Network University B University C

  24. Internet2 GigaPoPs

  25. Abilene Project • Provide advanced network testbed • Support Internet2 applications development • Demonstrate next generation operational and quality of service capabilities • Create facilities for network research

  26. Abilene Router Node Abilene Access Node Operational January 1999 Planned 1999 Abilene NetworkJanuary 1999 Seattle Cleveland New York Sacramento Denver Indianapolis Kansas City Los Angeles Atlanta Houston

  27. Abilene Characteristics • 2.4 Gbps (OC48) among gigaPoPs, increasing to 9.6 Gbps (OC192) • Connections at 622 Mbps (OC12) or 155 Mbps (OC3) • IP over Sonet technology • Access PoPs very close to almost all of the anticipated university gigaPoPs

  28. Abilene Schedule • Fall 1998: Demonstrated network at member meeting • January 1999: Abilene in full service • By December 1999: around 65 institutions connected

  29. Internet2 International Collaborations • Building peer to peer relationships • Looking for similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies • Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding • Signed: CANARIE, Stichting SURF, NORDUnet • In process: TERENA, SingAREN, JAIRC, APAN and others

  30. What kind of collaborations? • Network interconnection • Abilene and CA*net2, SURFnet, NORDUnet, etc. • Specific project collaboration • QBone • middleware • research/learning applications • Technology transfer • mutual industrial participants?

  31. Information exchange • International task force • to advise our Board, management on issues of international collaborations • Greater participation in international groups • CCIRN • GIBN
