  12. Internet2 Network CI Software • Dynamic Circuit Control Infrastructure • DRAGON (with ISI, MAX) • Oscars (with ESnet) • Middleware (Federated trust Infrastructure) • Shibboleth • Signet • Grouper • Comanage • Performance Monitoring Infrastructure • perfSONAR (with ESnet, GEANT2 JRA1, RNP, many others) • BWCTL, NDT, OWAMP, Thrulay • Distributed System Infrastructure • Topology Service (with University of Delaware) • Distributed Lookup Service (with University of Delaware, PSNC)

  13. Challenges • How do we “facilitate the development, deployment and use of revolutionary Internet technologies?” • How do we “promotecollaboration and innovation that has a fundamental impact on the future of the Internet?”

  14. Technology Vision • Meeting those challenges requires two general courses of action: • Advance the technology • Expand the reach of the technology • There are many directions possible for both technical challenges • Question for the community: how much emphasis on each direction for each challenge?

  15. Advancing the Technology

  16. Software Enhancements • DCN Software Suite • v0.2 Released • perfSONAR-PS • Beta released • Ongoing improvements in BWCTL, CoManage, Grouper, NDT, OWAMP, Phoebus, Shibboleth, Signet, etc.

  17. Standards Development • Dynamic Circuit Control Protocol (IDC) • DICE-Control, GLIF • Measurement Schema / Protocol • OGF NMWG • IETF IPPM • perfSONAR Consortium • Middleware Arena • Liberty Alliance • OASIS • Possible emerging corporate consortium • Topology Schema / Protocol • OGF NML-WG • perfSONAR Consortium • DICE-Control

  18. Common Services • Measurement MOUs and Databases • International • Regional • Dynamic Circuit Exchange Points • International • Regional • Common Components • AAA • Discovery • Topology

  19. Deployment Growth • DCN • Internet2 DCN Network • Growing the number of connectors • Growing the number of users • Growing the number of applications • LamdaStation, Phoebus, Terapaths • Growing the number of DCNs • perfSONAR • Internet2 Observatory • Growing the number of deployments (LHC) • Growing the number of applications

  20. Support & Training • Support • Documentation • Ease of Installation • Self-Supporting Communities • Absent: Team of Network Gurus • Training • Dynamic Circuit Network Workshops • Network Performance Workshops

  21. Expanding the Audience

  22. Demos • Show what’s possible • Expand the feature set • Build partnerships • Recent DCN / perfSONAR Demos: • FMM: Internet2 DCN with static circuits; Internet2 Observatory • SC: Provision dynamic circuits across multiple heterogeneous DCNs; multiple perfSONAR deployments • JT: GOLE: DCN Exchange Point; multiple perfSONAR deployments • Future: Multiple GOLEs; perfSONAR integrated into LHC application community

  23. Internet2 Network • Be an exemplar • Internet2 Dynamic Circuit Network • Supports provisioning of dynamic circuits across the backbone • Working on NOC support • Internet2 Observatory • Regular monitoring of the backbone • Make data available to researchers • Be a participant in E2E path • Contribute to the movement of large amounts of data • Contribute to debugging of E2E problems

  24. Campus, Regional, and Partner Networks • Expand the reach of the technology • Cover more sections of the E2E path • Encompass the diversity of local requirements • Be an exemplar for the “regular Internet”

  25. Virtual Organizations • Target specific VOs • LHC (Atlas and CMS) • Future work with eVLBI, LIGO, etc. • Implicitly target a complex, finite set • Networks • Users

  26. Challenges • How do we “facilitate the development, deployment and use of revolutionary Internet technologies?” • How do we “promotecollaboration and innovation that has a fundamental impact on the future of the Internet?”

  27. Internet2’s CI Vision • Internet2’s CI vision: • Be a networking cyber-service provider • Be a trust cyber-service provider • Be a CI technology developer.

  28. Internet2’s CI Position • Internet2’s position: • Backbone network provider • Federated trust infrastructure provider • Forum for collaboration by members of the R&E community • Gives Internet2 a unique vision and strategy for Cyberinfrastructure.

  29. Internet2’s CI Constituencies • Collaborators • University Members • Regional Networks • Regional CI Organizations • High Performance Computing Centers • Federal Partners • International Partners • CI Integrators

  30. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (1) • Requirements • Informed by our membership • Agenda set by our governance mechanisms • Offer, and in some cases develop, services and technology that are key components of a coherent CI software suite. • CI-enhanced Networks: IP Network, Dynamic Circuit Network • Services: InCommon, USHER • New Technologies: DCN software, perfSONAR, Shibboleth • Systems Integration: Assemble open source communication tools into a common veneer. • Emphasize a systems approach towards CI.

  31. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (2) • Take a “toolkit” approach • Make sure it still looks like a wall jack to end user • Push for best practices for campuses • What to do • How to do it • Community learns as a whole / avoid reinventing the wheel • Contribute to the support structure for use of CI • Open source CI software • Centers of Excellence • Training

  32. Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (3) • Play the role of community CI coordinator, convening community conversations. • Partner with other community coordinators (e.g. Teragrid, EDUCAUSE). • Play a convening function in order to facilitate the development, use, and dissemination of CI • Take a lead in international outreach efforts • Facilitate conversations among various federal agencies (e.g. DOE, NSF, NIH), each of which is developing its own CI
