Abilene peering • STAR TAP • Bilateral peering over ATM switch • Abilene core router node • NYC, LA, SUNNYVALE • Via gigapop or other intermediary • AmPATH, CALREN2, PNWGP
Topology Working Group • Charter revision in process • www.internet2.edu/topology • Membership is open to Internet2 members and MoU partners with the consent of the chair • Paul Love • epl@internet2.edu
Interconnections • Points of interconnection • Domestic • International • Technology of interconnection • ATM (STAR TAP, existing NGIXes, NYC) • GigE (P/NW GP) • POS (NYC) • Optical
Resource Accessibility • The WG is adding the goal to identify specific resources needed by members of Internet2. These resources may be either domestic or international. Examples are • Specialized laboratories • Historic data • Observatories • Etc
Conclusion • The Topology WG is redefining itself • New members will be welcome if they have an interest • Open to staff of Internet2 members, MoU partners, and US NGI agencies
