  1. Internet2: building the Internet of the future today! Heather Boyles heather@internet2.edu University of Puerto Rico Internet2 Day 20 April 2001

  2. Outline • What are we doing today on Internet2-class networks? • What are the important areas of work that need to be done yet? • Who’s working with Internet2?

  3. Background • Internet2 project formed in 1996 by 34 U.S. universities • Current members: • 185 U.S. universities • 70+ for-profit corporations • 30+ not-for-profit organizations • In close partnership with: • U.S. government • 30+ national networking organizations of other countries • University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) is the non-profit corporate home of the Internet2 project

  4. Internet2 Goals • Enable new generation of applications • Re-create leading edge R&E network capability • Ensure the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to the global Internet

  5. What are we doing today on Internet2-class networks? • Infrastructure Status • Advanced Services Deployment • Middleware Deployment • Applications in Use

  28. What are the important areas in which work needs to be done yet?

  29. End to End Performance • When it’s built, can it deliver? • Ensure that the infrastructure is delivering to its full potential • Design Team whitepaper • www.internet2.edu/e2eperf

  30. End-to-End (e2e) PerformanceInitiative • Human to Human Collaboration Experience User perception EYEBALL Application CORE APPLICATION Operating system Host IP stack STACK Host network card Local Area Network (LAN) JACK Campus backbone network Campus connection to regional network/GigaPoP GigaPoP connection to Internet2 national backbone International connections

  31. Further development of advanced services • QoS • Premium service – bandwidth broker • Scavenger service – less than best efforts • For large file transfers? • IPv6 • Deployment in Asia outpacing US • How to incent campuses to deploy and developers to write applications for it? • Middleware Services • Shibboleth: built on eduPerson attributes

  32. Making applications components easier to use • Internet2 commons • To encourage and support large-scale, distributed collaboration for the research and education community • We use several, mostly incompatible, video conferencing technologies • H.323, Access Grid, VRVS (Virtual Room Videoconf. System), MPEG1 & 2, DV over Firewire, HDTV • Share information about recommended uses • Decision tree: room-based vs. desktop-based, video quality levels, multicast vs. unicast, … • Initial Commons H.323 service (based on ViDe architecture)

  33. Upgrading the Plumbing • National backbones • Optical networking - amplification and regeneration • GigaPoPs • Regional fiber initiatives • Campuses • Ubiquity (wireless) and high performance (wired)
