  1. Internet2: nuevas aplicaciones gracias a la banda ancha Heather Boyles INTERNET’99 4 de febrero Madrid

  2. What is Internet2? • a project • led by universities • to develop and deploy new Internet applications and technologies • in order to meet the university mission of research and education

  3. History of Internet2 • 1986/7- 1995: NSFnet • 1994/5: NSFnet privatized • 1995/6: universities articulate requirements for next generation networking • October 1996: Internet2 Project formed • October 1997: UCAID formed • April 1998: Abilene Project Announced • September 1998: Middleware Initiative Announced • January 1999: Abilene in Production

  4. Internet2 Project Goals • Enable new generation of applications • Re-create leading edge R&E network capability • Transfer capability to the global production Internet

  5. UCAID Member Universities141 Members as of January 1999 University of Puerto Rico not shown

  6. 3Com Advanced Network & Services, Inc. AT&T Cabletron Systems Cisco Systems FORE IBM Lucent Technologies MCI Worldcom Newbridge Networks Nortel Networks Qwest Communications StarBurst Communications Internet2 Corporate Partners

  7. Bell South Packet Engines SBC Technology Resources StorageTek Torrent Technologies Internet2 Corporate Sponsors

  9. Internet2 Applications • Deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in the conduct of: • Research • Teaching • Learning • Require advanced networking

  10. Advanced Networking • Richer content through higher bandwidth • Video, audio • Virtual reality • Dynamic not static • More interactivity via minimal delay • Reliable delivery through quality of service model

  11. Sciences Arts Humanities Health care Business/Law Administration … Instruction Collaboration Streaming video Distributed computation Data mining Virtual reality Digital libraries … Many Disciplines and Contexts

  18. Middleware • Identify technologies that are scalable and interoperable • security • collaborations services • digital voice and video • filters/agents for persistent online presence • technologies for control of remote instrumentation • distributed file services

  19. The Network • Services required in the network to enable advanced applications: • Establish quality of service (QoS) • Support native multicast

  20. Applications and Engineering Applications Motivate Enables Engineering

  21. I2 Interconnect Cloud Network Architecture GigaPoP One GigaPoP Two GigaPoP Three GigaPoP Four “Gigabit capacity point of presence” an aggregation point for regional connectivity

  22. I2 Interconnect Cloud GigaPoPs, cont. University A E.g. vBNS, Abilene GigaPoP One Commodity Internet Connections Regional Network University B University C

  23. Internet2 GigaPoPs

  24. Abilene Project • Provide advanced network testbed • Support Internet2 applications development • Demonstrate next generation operational and quality of service capabilities • Create facilities for network research

  25. Abilene Router Node Abilene Access Node Operational January 1999 Planned 1999 Abilene NetworkJanuary 1999 Seattle Cleveland New York Sacramento Denver Indianapolis Kansas City Los Angeles Atlanta Houston

  26. Abilene Characteristics • 2.4 Gbps (OC48) among gigaPoPs, increasing to 9.6 Gbps (OC192) • Connections at 622 Mbps (OC12) or 155 Mbps (OC3) • IP over Sonet technology • Access PoPs very close to almost all of the anticipated university gigaPoPs

  27. Abilene Schedule • Fall 1998: Demonstrated network at member meeting, in pre-production at several universities, connected to Chicago switch for STAR TAP • Janurary 1999: Initial set of members connected in production mode • By December 1999: around 65 institutions connected

  28. Recap: • “It’s the applications, stupid!” • Bandwidth is important, but not everything (think qos!) • Technology transfer is crucial: universities (and everybody else) need to buy this stuff in a competitive commercial marketplace
