  1. GENI/NLR/I2/Quilt/Update Marla Meehl Manager NETS/FRGP/UPoP Westnet July 1, 2008

  2. Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) • NSF project • Managed by BBN • I2 offered free 10Gbps nationwide lambda • NLR offered nationwide 10Gbps lambda for $119K – rejected due to above offer and GENI has no money • NLR offered free nationwide 1Gbps FrameNet non-dedicated

  3. NLR GENI Proposal

  4. GENI Spiral One - GENI Objectives • Pull together backbone infrastructure by Fall 2008 which will provide the 1st spiral for GENI component development • GPO is looking for Ethernet based, VLAN services • Simple, easy place to start • Provides mechanism for encouraging federations between existing testbeds • Knit together 1st round GENI projects

  5. GENI Projects • 1st Funding round • GENI received 62 proposals • Notification of funding was sent out last week • No official announcement yet • Proposal Categories • Security • Control, workflow, management, measurement • Switches, routes, etc • Optical nodes • Regional access • Wireless, sensor • Large deployment

  6. What NLR Proposed • Access to FrameNet, PacketNet and Cwave • Up to 10 Gb each of non-dedicated bandwidth nationwide across entire FrameNet, PacketNet and CWave footprints. • Use of NLR’s Sherpa service to provision VLANs across FrameNet • Extendable to PacketNet and Cwave • Dedicated block of GENI specific VLAN IDs • Access to national and international layer2 and layer3 exchange points • Research access to the services will be via existing RON backbone connections • Additional connections available upon request at cost.

  7. Additional Services Available • Services • Co-location space • Additional connections to FrameNet or PacketNet • Access to NLRview platform • WaveNet Connections • Costs • GENI or researchers would have to cover the costs of the services • Co-location space, if available, would be made available to the project for free for the first 6 months.

  8. Quilt • “The Quilt, a coalition of advanced regional network organizations, is a dynamic forum where leaders from throughout the advanced research and education network community build on the intellectual capital and best practices of network service providers worldwide.” • Independent not for profit since 1/1/08 • MoUs with I2 and NLR • CIS RFP, VoIP RFI, Lambda RFI

  9. NLR

  10. NLR • Upgrading northern tier optics using Cisco hardware – Los Angeles to Jacksonville • First set of commitments from members due 7/1/08 – 7 of 14 memberships due • Partner with Darkstrand

  11. NLR Upgrade • Very complex project to upgrade while remaining operational • Schedule: starting December 2008 • To facilitate the project and since Level3 would not provide a loaner national wave, NLR executed a purchase order with Level 3 for 10 G waves for 1 year to be used temporarily to carry traffic while during the upgrade • 1 Wave--Seattle-Denver-Kansas City-Chicago • 1 Wave--Chicago-Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Washington • 1 Wave--Salt Lake City to Denver • 2 Waves--Kansas City to Chicago

  12. Darkstrand • Formed as an Illinois corporation, Darkstrand was created to bridge the gulf between the world’s most advanced research networks and the enterprise market. Closing that gap can take years in the current environment—a virtual lifetime in the product development cycle of any corporation. Our goal is to shorten the access time to next-generation technology so that our enterprise clients can shorten their time to market.

  14. I2

  15. Governance and Strategic planning • Councils active and engaged • Continued progress on new governance structure • Strategic planning

  16. I2 Strategic Plan • The Strategic Planning Execution Committee (SPEC) announces the release of the Board edition of the Internet2 Strategic Plan. This edition will be reviewed by the Board at their upcoming meeting on 8 July. The SPEC anticipates that the plan will be approved and they will then begin to develop the implementation plan. The SPEC will solicit community input on the implementation plan through a webinar to be scheduled at a date to be determined.

  17. Internet2 Financial Plan • Preserve strategic capability to enable community decisions • Refined income projections • Leaner organization • Staff reduction • Expense reduction • 2008 Board-approved budget

  18. Year ahead –Internet2 Network Services top priorities for 2008 • Support Internet2’s strategic planning process • Continue transition to new governance; support strategic planning process and be positioned to implement recommendations • Improve partnership and communications with our regional network members and connectors • Continue focus on operational excellence and continuous improvement in network availability, request-to-delivery workflow, communications and cost effectiveness of the Internet2 network • Working with connectors: • Joint DCN development • Differentiate static and dynamic circuit service offerings; operationalize dynamic circuits with RON’s and campuses • Expand participation in CPS by both peers and connectors. • HOPE for the future!

  19. Connector Principals Meetings • Background • Request for meeting and to provide input into strategic planning underway • G8: Steve Corbato, Jim Dolganas, Ron Hutchins, Mark Johnson, Tim Lance, Joe Mambretti, Peter O’Neil, Ron Johnson • Meetings: • April 2nd in Minneapolis • Spring Member’s Meeting • Developed Connector “To Do” List

  23. FRGP Summary

  24. TransitRail Growth in Connectivity • Announcing >123,000 prefixes to TR Participants 27% increase June 07 to June 08 Now 43% of IPv4 address space • Just over 1,300 participant prefixes Up from 1,100 in December • Traffic levels doubled in September with slower growth through the academic year. • Are roughly three times the traffic seen last spring. • Per-participant traffic volumes have typically more than doubled since last spring.

  25. TransitRail Peering Capacity • 204 Gbps of peering capacity between TransitRail and its peers active today • 23Gbps under provisioning • Traffic is distributed across the TransitRail sites with a balanced national traffic profile

  26. NLR/I2 Cost Analysis • Total NLR/I2 annual costs • $2,416,500 • Total savings to drop NLR/TransitRail • $1,100,000 • Adjusted savings due to increase in I2 expenses (2x10, SEGP, RHP) • $706,000 • Notes: NLR may drop to $700K/yr, may have to pay $80K for dedicated 10G lambda, reduces savings to $326,000/yr
