  3. TF-EMC2 • Active work items: • AA-RR • HelloSAML • SCHAC • TACAR • REFEDs • SCS TNC 2006, Catania

  4. Other Task Forces Highlights • TF-CSIRT • Large event with FIRST, January 2006 • TF-Mobility • eduroam-in-a-box • TF-VVC • Recommendations published • Evolving into next TF • TF-NGN • Working with GN2 TNC 2006, Catania

  5. External Project Overviews • EGEE • EGEE-I ended 31 March 2006 • TERENA footprint inside Grid Community • MOME • Future of the database ? • SEEREN2 • Session at TNC2006 • Training workshop – summer 2006 • SEEFIRE • Policy workshop – January 2006 • Published: “Guidelines for the Deployment of Customer Empowered Fibre Infrastructure” TNC 2006, Catania

  6. Challenges • using videconference/collaborating tools for end users is starting to be easier, but NOT YET dial and play. • H.323 is here; but still some twists needed to make it interoperate • SIP sun is rising up, but “midday is a bit delayed” • Collaboration tools old and new: is that the way forward? • Need actions now for supporting service use • Need research now to decide the way forward TNC 2006, Catania

  7. Challenges • convergence between grid and NRENs activity is touching fundamental topics • Security: users’ credentials are (no) more an obstacle to grid deployment (?) • Middleware: certificates are deploying, collaboration with NRENs • digital identity federations on the start; the “last operator” is often the same person inside the campus/institution • ECAM  (do you have a mirror)? • etc... TNC 2006, Catania

  8. Challenges • Network services and tools to non scientific users is starting • Scientific users are curious to know what’s behind it • Other users are afraid of what’s behind it, “don’t worry” support • Strong cultural differences: build the bridge to understand each other (local cultural digital divide) • Pioneers exists taking over the challenge • Initiatives to support new user's communities • medical, arts, humanities,… • “the best choice” for them often is different from the one for scientific users TNC 2006, Catania

  9. Challenges • PR aspect: • you get often much more out of it than out of a 40Gb speed record TNC 2006, Catania

  10. Issues • control plane for complex mixed networks • Routed • Switched • Optical • CBF and Backbone • Central vs Users’ control • Who knows what’s happening when something is going wrong? • … anything we are just discovering now TNC 2006, Catania

  11. Issues • How to "scale up" NRENs services to bigger numbers • Has e-mail a problem? • Do our services management scale up to millions and millions of users? • Are NRENs ready to handle with the well know high quality support thousands and thousands of “customers” ? • NRENs offer more… How to keep it “more” and scale it up.
