Internet2:Presentation to Astronomy Community at Haystack T. Charles Yun April 2002
INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW Presentation Outline • Applications 5 min • Examples of current projects • About Internet2 5 min • Organization, Membership • Internet2 & Abilene 10 min • Backbone, Characteristics, Connections • Q and A 5 min total time ~25 min Internet 2 Applications Update
INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW Astronomy & Internet2 • What does Internet2 have to offer for the astronomy community? • Access to advanced, high-performance network • Find parallels with work being done by other communities • Connections to researchers & peers around the world (BOF/Working Group) • Loaner hardware, expert advice, etc. Internet 2 Applications Update
APPLICATIONS Attributes of Advanced Apps • Provide qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning • Common attributes: • Remote instrumentation and interactive collaboration • Distributed data storage and data mining • Large-scale, multi-site computation • Real-time access to remote resources • Dynamic data visualization • Shared virtual reality Internet 2 Applications Update
APPLICATIONS: HDTV Raw HDTV Stream • Packetized raw HDTV (1.5 Gbps) • SC2001 public demo • DARPA PIs Meeting: SEA->DC area 1/6/02 • Application level measurement • 3 billion packets transmitted • 0 packets lost, 15 resequencing episodes • e2e network performance • Loss: <8x10 -10 (90% confidence level) • Reordering: 5x10 –9 • Transcontinental 1-Gbps TCP (std 1.5 kB MTU) requires loss at the level of 3x10 –8 or lower Internet 2 Applications Update
APPLICATIONS: GRIDs HENP and NEESgrid • High Energy and Nuclear Physics • Transferring petabytes of data a year, gigabytes per second per experiment • Cascading data storage model, near-zero packet loss per data stream, distributed database for end-user data manipulation • VRVS collaboration system supports multiple video formats and technologies • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation • Running hybrid experiments synchronizing physical and computational experiments • Synchronizing large volumes of data of different types: sensor, video, etc. Internet 2 Applications Update

ABILENE Networking Activity • Internet2 networking is a fundamentally hierarchical and collaborative activity • International networking • Ad hoc -> Global Terabit Research Network (GTRN) • National backbones • Regional networks • GigaPoPs • Campus networks • Much activity now at the metropolitan and regional scales Internet 2 Applications Update
ABILENE Future of Abilene • Qwest has extended commitment for another 5 years – to October 2006 • Upgrade of Abilene backbone to optical transport capability • 4 times increase in core bandwidth, to 10 gigabits/second (OC 192) • New wavelength capabilities (MWDM) Internet 2 Applications Update
Native IPv6 Motivations Resolving IPv4 address exhaustion issues International collaboration Run natively - concurrent with IPv4 Replicate multicast deployment strategy Close collaboration with Internet2 IPv6 Working Group on regional and campus v6 rollout Network resiliency Increasing use of videoconferencing & VoIP impose tighter restoration requirements (<100 ms) Abilene ’s will not be protected like SONET Addition of new measurement capabilities Active & passive probing Surveyor, Abilene “Observatories,” Performance beacons Latency & jitter, loss, TCP throughput ABILENE Next Generation Abilene Internet 2 Applications Update
CONCLUSION Where to go from here… • Working Group or BOF meeting • Identify tasks, activities and goals pertinent to the community • Select an already established meeting at which to hold a BOF meeting • Determine individuals who are willing to lead a working group • Identify a schedule against which activities can be measure (don’t let the inertia stop) Internet 2 Applications Update
