  1. TERENA Technical Programme Activities Claudio Allocchio TERENA VP Technical Programme http://www.terena.nl/ TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  2. TTP - Special Interest Areas (OLD) • Lower Layers (IPv6, MPLS, VPNs etc.) • Quality of Service (including DiffServ) • Videoconferencing and Streaming (Including IP Telephony) • Content Delivery, Indexing and Searching • Middleware (security, AAI) • Mobility • Grid and Campus coordination TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  3. TTP - Special Interest Areas (NEW) • Grid across all SIAs • Campus coordinations across all SIAs • E2E coordination across all SIAs • Middleware (supporting all SIAs) • Security (supporting all SIAs) • Lower Layers (IPv6, VPNs, MPLS,QoS, Performance measuring) • Voice Video and Collaboration (including VoIP,Content Delivery…) • Mobility • Special note on Information flow/dissemination and PR TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  4. TTP - Special Interest Areas (NEW) TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  6. TAC - Discussion Topics (1) VIDEO-STREAMING • Expand to users - not for techies --> service ! • Reliable delivery of packets (Bandwidth, delay…) • Facility cordination, dialling schemas • Collaboration! Expertise and facilities discovery!

TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  7. TAC - Discussion Topics (2) GRIDS • A challenge: deliverables BEFORE other project complete them • Lots of requirements to NRENs: BoD, Monitoring, VPNs,… • Dissemination but also COORDINATION (duplication avoidance) • Coordination with SECURITY, CA interworking, Policies MIDDLEWARE • PKI and Security focus • Coordination and interoperability (many reasults already) • US MACE, TACAR • TF-EMC? • EuroMACE, a TF? • Liaisions JRA5, EGEE TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

TAC - Discussion Topics (3) MOBILITY • Access to roaming users • Bringing It to the end user (Campuses) - deployment! • Strong security interaction • Extend roaming to all NRENs and endpoints LOWER LAYER • Collaboration with all other areas • Speak the same language, common terms • Bring univ/campus people back • Access to the backbone, mobile, remote areas E2E • Bring the whole picture together • Tools, teams, language together - a flow chain • TF for it? TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004

  9. Further Steering Investigations • For the second year in a row the "Call for new Ideas" produced poor results: • Do we reach the right people? • Are our scarce human resources overbooked? • "no money - no ideas"? • The TAC is doing its job • We will discuss the issues also off-line (ML) • TNC is a source of ideas and information • We are trying to grep ideas from presentations, discussions and coffee break discussions TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June 2004
