  13. Advanced Networking Organizations around the World

  14. Internet2 Network Infrastructure • Abilene backbone operates at 10 gigabits per second capacity today • GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points • Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop • National LambdaRail (NLR) provides access to multiple wavelengths on dedicated national fiber facility • FiberCo provides dark fiber nationwide

  15. www.nlr.net www.fiberco.org HOPI hopi.internet2.edu Optical Networking • National LambdaRail – www.nlr.net • A fiber infrastructure that supports multiple networks: • for research and development of Internet technologies and protocols • new applications and services • FiberCo – www.fiberco.org • Holding dark fiber assets to assign to other organizations • Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure Project • Experimenting with future network technologies, infrastructures, and architectures

  16. End-to-End Performance Initiative Goals and Deployment • Provide performance information to end-users and network operators • Develop new performance test options and tools for network engineers • Make performance data publicly available • Establish an interoperable performance framework

  17. Internet2 Focus Areas • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Middleware and Security • Advanced Applications

  18. Federated Authentication • Scalable, decentralized infrastructure • Critical to a broad range of initiatives • Being adopted and implemented • Industry • International partners • Middleware is an increasingly enabling element • Examples:

  19. Middleware • A layer of software between the network and the applications • Authentication • Identification • Authorization • Directories • Security middleware.internet2.edu

  20. Internet2 Middleware Initiative • Internet2 community has unique needs and capabilities • Middleware Architecture Committee for Education • Early Harvest and Early Adopters • Internet2 PKI Labs • Shibboleth (authentication) • Computational middleware (Beta Grid) • Medical middleware • Directories

  21. Security and Stability • Security at Line Speed • Interaction with DHS • REN/ISAC at Indiana University • Partnership with corporate members to monitor and protect network infrastructure • Moving toward an authenticated Internet with trust communities

  22. Internet2 Focus Areas • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Middleware and Security • Advanced Applications
