  1. Brief Update on Asian Networking James Williams Indiana University TransPAC2 Principal Investigator williams@indiana.edu

  2. Topics to be discussed • Trans-Pacific connectivity • Within country connectivity plans • Areas of continuing concern • The TransPAC2 project

  3. Trans-Pacific Connectivity • The “bandwidth problem” between the US and Asia has been solved! • I can easily count 6 10G links between the US and Asia, as of 4/1/05. • There are many other links that contribute to nearly 100G of high-performance Trans-Pacific bandwidth available for researchers. This is comparable to US-EU bandwidth. But, for many researchers, problems still remain.

  4. Within Country Plans • Many countries within Asia have deployed high-performance (10G or multiple 10G) research and education backbones [China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan to name a few]. • Other countries are reorganizing their R/E network administration in preparation for this type of deployment [Thailand, Singapore and others]. • Soon many Asian counties will have national R/E networks that can meet the needs of the next generation of research.

  5. Areas of Continuing Concern • Access to high-performance bandwidth is still difficult for many countries. • Related to this, north-south bandwidth within Asia is limited and expensive to deploy • Even in countries where there is access to high-performance bandwidth, the network service infrastructure needs additional improvement (as it does in the US) in areas like measurement, security and GMPLS-lightpath integration.

  6. The TransPAC2 Project • Continue high-performance connectivity across the Pacific Ocean [OC-192 connection between US and Tokyo] • Enhance connectivity by assisting in the development of an inter-Asia backbone [Tokyo-Hong Kong-Singapore] or beyond

  7. TransPAC2 Architecture

  8. TransPAC2 Service Organization and Goals • Primary IRCN goal: Facilitating global production research collaborations, including grid, climate, HEP and earthquake research activities • Infrastructure partnerships • We must extend both high-performance infrastructure and access to that infrastructure. The extension of TransPAC2 north-south in Asia is extremely important. • Operational partnerships • Operational cooperation between all countries is important (NOC operations, security incident reporting…); • Research and development partnerships • Collaborations between network researchers in Asia and the TransPAC2/Internet2 team are needed in areas like HOPI research; measurement activities; security cooperation; AAI activities and circuit allocation mechanisms
