International connectivity • Internet2 backbone networks are primarily in the United States • Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US • NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and a couple of interconnection points • TransPAC (Asia/Pacific Rim) • EuroLink (Europe) • NAUKAnet (Russia) • STAR TAP/Star Light (Chicago) • AMPATH • Other international exchange points/transit facilitated by Internet2 members
International Peering • How? • Through an interconnection point such as PacWave, Starlight, MANLAN, AMPATH • Through an international link such as TransPAC or via another network, e.g., CALREN-2, GEANT • Other options are reviewed case by case
STAR TAP/Star Light •Chicago •NSF-funded project •ATM-based STAR TAP •STAR LIGHT: GigE/10GE switch-based Pacific Wave •Seattle •Gigabit Ethernet-based •Pacific Northwest Gigapop MAN LAN •New York City •Internet2 project •Sited at NYSERNET colo space •GigE/10GE-switch based LALALAN •Los Angeles •Under development by CENIC AmPATH •Miami •Includes Global Crossing links to South America U.S.-based International interconnection points
