  2. Topics • Organization • Applications • The Network

  3. Organization

  4. Internet2 Mission Facilitating the development and deployment of advanced applications and network services for research and education, accelerating the next generation of the internet.

  5. Organization Overview • Not-for-profit consortium • 178 U.S. university members • 70+ corporate members • 40+ non-profit members • Board made up primarily of university presidents • Separate from, but cooperates with, Federal Government’s Next Generation Internet initiative

  6. Applications

  7. Internet2 Applications • What are “I2 applications”? • They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning • They require advanced networks to work

  8. Sciences Arts Humanities Health care Business/Law Administration … Instruction Collaboration Streaming video Data mining Virtual reality Digital libraries … Different Disciplines/Contexts

  9. Interactive collaboration and instruction Real-time access to remote resources Application Attributes

  10. Large-scale, multi-site computation and database processing Shared virtual reality Any combination of the above Attributes, cont.

  11. Digital Video Applications • MPEG2 video conferencing • MPEG1 broadcast distribution and archiving • HDTV-based digital cinema, web cams, network-based studio production, … • Multicast video conferencing • VRVS with CERN/Caltech • Access Grid room-based environments

  12. Health Sciences Initiative • First Internet2 domain focus area • Variety of potential initiatives • Education • Clinical • Research • Roadmap in part from “Networking Health: Prescriptions for the Internet” • National Research Council report, www.nap.edu

  13. Help Needed • How to best reach the disciplines? • “Joint Techs” experience versus reaching faculty • What are the next areas of opportunity? • 3G mobile phone applications in research and education?

  14. Middleware

  15. Middleware • Focus areas • Identification • Authentication • Authorization • Directories

  16. I2 Middleware Initiative • Education community has unique needs and capabilities • Middleware Architecture Committee for Education (MACE) • Early Harvest and Early Adopters Best Practices Identification Knowledge transfer Best Practices Implementation

  17. I2 Middleware Initiative • PKI • Certificate policies • Shibboleth • inter-realm authentication for web content • Medical middleware • Directories • edu-Person schema • lookup of ted@“higher education”

  18. Abilene Network

  19. Abilene Characteristics • Production net for applications R&D • 2.4 gbps (OC48) increasing to 9.6 gbps (OC192) • Connections at 2.4 gbps, 622 (OC12) or 155 mbps (OC3) • IP over Sonet technology • Peering points evolving through “International Transit Network”

  20. Abilene Network Seattle New York Cleveland Sacramento Denver Indianapolis Sacramento Washington Washington, DC Kansas City Los Angeles Los Angeles Atlanta Houston

  21. Characteristics, cont. • End-to-end services focus • Multicast • IPv6 • Advanced measurement • Quality of service

  22. Quality of Service • Initiating “Abilene Premium Service” to enable loss/jitter intolerant applications • Reference implementation of QBONE architecture • Uses Expedited Forwarding (RFC2598) • Contract: leased line emulation at a specified peak rate • Near-zero loss • Low, bounded jitter
