  1. Internet2: Priorities for Today & Tomorrow EDUCAUSE Live! Douglas Van HouwelingPresident & CEO, Internet2

  2. Overview • Internet2 • Strategic Foci • 2004 Priorities • Internet2 Future

  3. Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.

  4. Internet2 Universities206 University Members, March 2004

  5. Internet2 Partnerships • Internet2 universities are recreating the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy • Industry • Government • International

  6. Additional Participation • 61 Internet2 Corporate Members • 41 Affiliate Members • Federal laboratories, regional networks, medical centers, performing arts institutions, etc. • 44 International Partners • K-12 schools, libraries, & museums

  8. Sponsored Education Group Participants

  9. Applications End-to-end Performance Security Motivate Enable Middleware Services Networks Internet2 Today (and Tomorrow)

  10. Fundamental Questions • What does Internet2 community (and the rest of the world) require from the Internet and its applications? • What should the Internet2 community do to address those requirements? • What specific steps should we take to move forward?

  11. Strategic Foci • Address the advanced networking needs and interests of the research & education community • Implement a systems approach towards a scalable advanced networking infrastructure • Provide leadership in the evolution of the Internet • Leverage strategic relationships among academia, industry and government • Engage the Federal Cyberinfrastructure Initiative • Catalyze activities that cannot be accomplished by individual organizations • International connections • Focus on financially feasible, affordable, and deployable technologies and solutions

  12. Internet2 2004 Emphasis • Advanced Network Infrastructure • End to End Performance • Middleware • Security • International Connections • Applications

  13. Internet2 Network Infrastructure • Abilene backbone operates at 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity today • GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points • Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop • National LambdaRail (NLR) will provide access to multiple wavelengths on dedicated national fiber facility • Fiberco provides dark fiber nationwide • Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI)

  14. Abilene Upgrade – Completed!

  15. End-to-End Performance:The Wizard Gap Wizard Gap (ratio has gone from 3:1 to 300:1 in last decade)

  16. Middlewarehttp://middleware.internet2.edu/ • A layer of software between the network and the applications • Authentication • Identification • Authorization • Directories • Security

  17. Federated Authentication • Scalable, decentralized infrastructure • Critical to a broad range of initiatives • Being adopted and implemented • Industry • International • Middleware is an increasingly enabling element • Examples: Shibboleth, InCommon Federation • Part of the NSF Middleware Initiative

  18. Security • Higher Ed Security Improvement Program • Internet2/Educause staff working group • Liaison with federal HSD • REN ISAC at IU • HE chapter for National Strategy Document • Best practices dissemination & training • R&D on security in hybrid environments • Focus on security and Internet architecture

  19. Security • Require network security approaches that: • Minimally compromise network performance and allow applications requiring advanced network services to function • Sustain, in so far as possible, the end-to-end nature of the Internet architecture • Network security, host software, and middleware become inter-dependent • Security at Line Speed (SALSA) steering group • Additional staff on assignment from university and corporate members • Engage NSF CyberTrust program

  20. International Connections • Now multiple NSF agreements • Different regions of the world • Different types of connectivity & research • Also various uncoordinated donated infrastructure • Our international partners could work more effectively if they had a coordinated point of contact • Working with our members to prepare a coordinated proposal

  21. Applications: Production Infrastructure • Internet2 Commons • InCommon/InQueue middleware federation support • PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) with Dartmouth • Abilene • Voice and Integrated Communications Initiative (VICI) • End-to-End Performance systems • Move maturing applications to production status in order to promote the large-scale adoption of common applications

  22. Applications: Extend Work with Discipline Communities • Collaborate with discipline communities and organizations, and address the unique needs of research communities • Support strategic demonstrations that demonstrate the value of advanced networking and member collaborations • Scout for and engage innovative applications to maintain openness to innovation • Help campus CEOs, VPRs and CIOs with their opportunities and responsibilities • Engage in multi-level bi-directional relations with federal agencies

  23. The Future • Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) with NLR • Understanding and implementing the connectivity architecture of the future • Integrated Middleware & Security • End-to-End Performance • Internet Architecture Assessment • Strategic response to the challenges facing the Internet • Joint effort starting with MIT and expanding • David Clark leadership

  24. Requires Internet2 to Operate in Pasteur’s Quadrant Pasteur Yes Bohr Focus on New Knowledge Creation? No Edison No Yes Focus on Application?
