Abilene Update • Tuesday • 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. • Salon C
Abilene changes relevant to international peers • IPv6 and multicast transit traffic • Background: Abilene peers with commercial IPv6 and multicast networks • This is an exception to our policy not to peer with commercial networks • As a way to encourage commercial deployment of IPv6 and multicast • Change: no longer announcing non-customer routes to commercial IPv6 and multicast peers • Rationale: some commercial peers complaining because it is not standard commercial practice to announce non-customers • Impact: some international peers may have lost previously seen routes to commercial v6 and multicast networks via Abilene
Abilene changes, cont’d • Transit to “fednets” • US federal government research networks • ESnet, NREN, NISN, DREN • Abilene ITN service initial could not provide fednet to non-US net transit • This became possible early last year • Where direct peering not possible • Where requested by both peers • Some fednets have restrictions or special requirements for enabling peering
Abilene routing policies • Abilene peering with Routeviews • Objective: to help provide global R&E network community better insight into Abilene routing policies • As Chris Robb’s presentation mentioned, contemplating other changes that could be made
HOPI Testbed International connectivity • HOPI update • Tuesday, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. Salons I/II/III • Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) initiative • Testbed: Abilene + 10G wave on NLR footprint
HOPI Testbed International Connectivity • Within US, available at: • PacificWave • StarLight • MAN LAN • NGIX-East • 10G connection to London to support collaboration with similar European efforts • MAN LAN in NYC to GEANT2 PoP in London • Connected in London real soon now
GEANT2 – Internet2 Service Trial: switched point to point services • GEANT2 services include switched, point-to-point GigE-based services • Bundled as part of core subscription for NRENs • Internet2 to offer similar services • Currently via HOPI testbed • Ultimately via Newnet • Desire to trial technical and organization model for making these services available across both GEANT2 and Internet2 communities
The details • June – December 2006: service “trial” period • Invite connectors/users in both communities to request service to connector/user in the other community • GEANT2 users: those with access to GE or wavelength services • Internet2 community: those with access to HOPI testbed
Longer-term • Financial model: costs for service lie where they fall • E.g. GEANT2 users follow their cost model for GEANT2-carried portion; same for Internet2 service users • Trans-atlantic costs considered sunk for now; will examine as understand demand • Will equip at least two of the 10Gbps links in place or planned between Internet2 and GEANT2 to support
