Internet2 International connectivity • Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure • Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US • NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and one interconnection point • TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet, STAR TAP
STAR TAP and StarLighthttp://www.startap.net • Based in Chicago • STAR TAP based on AADS (Ameritech) ATM switch • StarLight is 3 things • A place: colo space at a Northwestern University building - 710 North Lakeshore Drive • Optical interconnect: optical switching of wavelengths • Production peering: bridging to legacy STAR TAP SURFnet, CERN CA*net4 CA*net4 Seattle PLR Portland NYC PSC IU DTF 40Gb NCSA Asia-Pacific Atlanta SDSC AMPATH
International Transit Network (ITN) project • Provide transit across North America • Cooperation between STAR TAP, CANARIE, Internet2 • Has provided connectivity where formerly gaps • DANTE/TEN-155, JANET to Asia, etc. • Red CUDI to all
Abilene - ITN • Internet2 providing transit between non-US networks (and vBNS) across Abilene • Implemented on Abilene now with participating networks
