  3. Higher Ed and P2P: 1999/mid-2000 • May: Napster is born • December: RIAA files suit against Napster • Jan-Feb: Some universities begin blocking Napster access • May-August: Metallica suit: Indiana U. • Napster blocked on a well known port basis • ‘Students against Censorship’ started by IU students • Blocking: “Punishing the traffic of one application, using the rough technology we currently have available, accelerates users migrating to new apps more difficult to identify.” Steve Wallace, Indiana University • Discussions on ResNet listserv appear • Control and traffic monitoring/shaping • http://LISTSERV.ND.EDU/archives/resnet-l.html Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  4. mid-2000 to 2001 • Discussions on Educause’s CIO listserv (to block or not to block?) and articles on Chronicle of Higher Ed (Septemberish) • Taming the bandwidth hogs…how can your campus do it (Fall 00 I2 MM) p2p list: listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html) • 2000 concerns: liability and network performance. • 2001 -- Significant: • Feb. O’Reilly P2P conference: < 900 participants but <=10 universities“to explore the technical and business dimensions of the P2P space… • Spring I2MM: - P2P thunderdome: The Impact of p2p apps on campuses- The Old is New Again: or is it • SETI@home, folding@home, educommons.org Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  5. 2001 continued • Pig-latin encoders (e.g. Aimster) changing song titles, new and better implementations of Gnutella and so on… • April/May: • The future of P2P applications • What policy (including legal) steps will be necessary to ensure campus bandwidth is used for its primary purposes - research, teaching and learning. (panel at Networking 2001 –April)How will this be accomplished? reactive overtones • 8th NLANR/I2 Joint Techs • P2P in the research and education community • Proactive approach to the P2P environment • We will do a workshop! • Napster shuts down (early summer) Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  6. 2001: NOW (September) • “Managing Students Insatiable Demand for Bandwidth.” (Chronicle of Higher Education live discussion 9/27/01) • “In this new roundof bandwidth battles, Napster is a distant memory.” (The Chronicle, 09/28/01) • Digital video/movie files of 200-800MB downloaded with KaZaA or similar P2P file sharing applications • Universities opting for user education and cooperation, bandwidth limiting, adding capacity, additional fees to cover bandwidth costs • Plus almost monthly conferences on P2P in the enterprise, P2P computing, etc. • Acknowledgement of synergies and commonalities Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  7. P2P list • Archives at listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html • To subscribe, send email to listserv@listserv.utk.edu • In body of message, type:subscribe p2p <firstname> <lastname> Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  8. Recap • It used to just be blocking vs. not blocking • Traffic characterization: what % is media content (audio/video) vs. real research and educational traffic? • Metering and allocation fair use of resources • But what works? Best practices in resource management (in this case bandwidth) and understanding legal responsibilities (NetPD and what you really are “responsible” for – DMCA) • And also: p2p is changing the Internet but still in early stages and apps need work… Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  9. We need to do something…. • P2P is here to stay • What P2P is and is not • To explore the technical and future dimension of this fast-growing space and the opportunities and challenges for higher education • P2P and like models for applications in research, science and education • What are the issues at stake? Internet2 Virtual Member Meeting

  10. What if we had a workshop? • P2P application developers, users and us (??) in the same room to share experiences and challenges. • Exploration into how universities can integrate and perhaps even innovate with this "revolution,” while providing vehicle (or models, ideas, and such) through which universities can benefit. • Advantages of P2P models for applications in research, learning and teaching. • To explore the issues and challenges that come up when creating P2P/distributed computing systems: discovery, resource management, allocation, security, authentication, end to end, addressing….
