NSF Defines Three Classes of Networks Beyond the Commodity Internet • Production Networks (e.g. Internet2) • High-Performance Networks • Reaches All US Researchers • 24 / 7 Reliable • Experimental Networks • Trials of Cutting-Edge High-Performance Networks • Deliver Advanced Application Needs Unsupported by Production Networks • Robust Enough to Support Application-Dictated Development: • Software Application Toolkits, • Middleware, • Computing and Networking • Research Networks • Smaller-Scale Network Prototypes • Enable Basic Scientific and Engineering Network Research • Testing of Component Technologies, Protocols, Network Architectures • Not Expected to Be Persistent • Not Expected to Support Production Applications www.evl.uic.edu/activity/NSF/index.html
Local and Regional Lambda Experimental Networks Are Achievable and Practical • Several GigaPOPs Are Building Multi-Lambda Metropolitan Experimental Networks by Lighting up Their Own Dark Fiber • With Hundreds of Lambdas by 2010 • LambdaGrid Software to Dynamically Couple Applications to Metro and Resources Is Possible • Metro Experimental Networks Will Be Sensitized to: • End Application Needs • Local Connectivity Issues • Current National Production Networks Have Not Begun to Satisfy • Substantial State and Local Funds Can Be Heavily Leveraged by an NSF Experimental Networks Program • Cross-country Inter-Connection • Persistent Support of Emerging Experimental Networks • First NSF Workshop UIC December 2001 • Second NSF Workshop UCI May 2002 • Expected NSF RFP by Fall 2002
