Summary • Internet2 started October 1996 • From 34 to over 200 universities today • 50+ other research and non-profit institutions • From United Nations to Lawrence Berkeley Labs to the New World Symphony • 50+ for profit companies • 30 state and regional R&E networks • Primary, secondary schools, museums, libraries, healthcare institutions through Sponsored Educational Group Participants (SEGP) • More than 50 international partners
Summary • Internet2 • Provides a high-performance network environment for the US research and education community • optimized to meet the needs of research, teaching, learning, clinical and outreach missions of that community • Enables the development and deployment of new network, middleware and applications technologies, services and protocols • Draws the community together to support these efforts
Technology • Computing continues to follow Moore’s Law • Storage is moving to the atomic level • Networking is exploding in the optical and wireless domains • Identity management middleware enables virtual communities • Human/Computer interface is rapidly evolving • Culminating in the Cybersphere • persistent, pervasive, global, and immersive information/knowledge environment

The Internet2 network • Replaced the old “Abilene” backbone network • Hybrid optical and IP network • Fiber, optical equipment dedicated to Internet2; Level 3 maintains network and service level • Infrastructure to support multiple networks • Internet2 IP Service • Dynamic and static circuit services • ESnet’s next generation network • Platform supports production services and experimental projects
Internet2 Network Capabilities • Capacity and reliability to serve large scale projects – eVLBI, LHC, NEON, TeraGrid • Flexibility to support smaller projects at lower bandwidths, for variable durations • Lightpath provisioning to the campus • Ideal platform for network research
Internet2 Network: Infrastructure with Multiple Services Routed IP Network” Router Layer Ethernet Layer Switched SONET Layer (vcat, lcas) “SONET Switched Network” Provisioned Services Switched WDM Optical Layer “Ethernet VLAN Switched Network (i.e., HOPI)” Multi-Layer GMPLS Networks Separate (Peering) Control Plane Instantiations for each of the above
Circuit Service Types • Static Services - Configured by our NOC • Ethernet or SONET Framed over Lambda - Directly on the Infinera wave equipment • SONET Circuits through the Ciena equipment • Ethernet Framed tagged or untagged circuits under SONET via GFP • MPLS L2VPNs • Dynamic Circuit Service • Only through the Ciena equipment at the start, eventually evolving to the full platform • Create Circuits in seconds for periods of hours to weeks
