  1. Internet2 101US R&E Networking From the ARPANET to Today Internet2 Fall Member Meeting 13-Oct-03 – Indianapolis JJ Jamison (and Guy Almes)

  2. Agenda • Some History • US R&E Projects and Networks • US International R&E Connectivity • Pointers to More Info

  3. ARPANET • 1969 – 1990 • Funded by ARPA • Connected Universities, Federally Funded and Private Research Labs, and DoD Labs and other Facilities • 1983 • Cutover from NCP to TCP/IP • ARPANET split into ARPANET and MILNET

  4. ARPANET December 1969 From ARPANET Completion Report, BBN, 1978

  5. ARPANET July 1977 From ARPANET Completion Report, BBN, 1978

  6. NSFnet • 1985 – 1995 • Started off connecting 5 Supercomputer Centers • JvNSC, SDSC, NCSA, CTC, PSC • Grew to connect Universities and Regional Nets • Served as the Internet’s backbone • 1995 • Internet is served by multiple commercial backbones • NSF shuts the NSFnet down

  7. NSFnet 1986

  8. NSFnet 1986–1995 56Kbps - T3 (45Mbps)

  9. vBNS/vBNS+ • 1995 – Today • vBNS comes up as the NSFnet goes offline • Connects 5 Supercomputer Centers • CTC, NCAR, NCSA, PSC, SDSC • And 4 NAPS: Ameritech, MFS, PacBell, Sprint • 1997 • vBNS’s role expanded to serve the Top 100 US Research Universities • 2000 • NSF grants a 3-year no-cost (to NSF) extension of the vBNS project • vBNS+ now serves R&E networking needs of several Federal agencies • USGS; NMCI; DREN

  10. vBNS 1995 Served only Supercomputer Centers

  11. Abilene • 1998 • 14-April announcement at the White House • Demonstration at Fall Member Meeting • 1999 • OC-48 network operational at end of January • Native IP multicast operational by mid-year • 2000 • Abilene begins to serve a larger community including K-12 schools • 2002 • Native IPv6 operational • OC-192 upgrade initiated

  12. Agenda • Some History • US R&E Projects and Networks • US International R&E Connectivity • Pointers to More Info

  13. US R&E Networks and Projects • NGI • Abilene • TeraGrid • National Fiber/Wave Projects • JET

  14. TeraGrid CA*net4

  15. TeraGrid Backplane • Embedded IP Network that serves as the backplane of the TeraGrid (a distributed Supercomputer) • The TeraGrid is distributed across 4 facilities • NCSA, ANL, SDSC, and Caltech • PSC recently added • There are plans to expand to: • Oak Ridge • Indiana • Texas

  16. DTF

  17. National Fiber/Wave Projects • USA Waves • SURA (Southern University Research Association) initiative • Outgrowth of SURA National Buyers Consortium • Proposed cooperative agreement with AT&T • National Light (Lambda) Rail • National facilities based approach for optical networking and network research • Outgrowth of Pacific Light Rail • Leadership: CENIC, Pacific Northwest GigaPoP • Corporate Partners: Level3, Cisco • Fiberco • A fiber holding company • Can hold national/regional fiber assets with the capability of assign to other organizations

  18. JET (Joint Engineering Team) • The JET coordinates networking activities, operations, and plans among federal agency networks (represented by DOD, DOE, NASA, and NSF) and Internet2 • 3 NGIXes (Next Generation Internet eXchanges) • NGIX-E: University of Maryland • NGIX-C: StarLight in Chicago • NGIX-W: NASA Ames • Work together on tough problems • e.g., links to Hawaii & Alaska • www.itrd.gov/iwg/pca/lsn/jet/

  19. Agenda • Some History • US R&E Projects and Networks • US International R&E Connectivity • Pointers to More Info

  20. US International R&E Connectivity • STARTAP • ITN • GTRN

  21. STAR TAP • International Connection Point for Research and Education Networks at the Ameritech NAP in Chicago • Facilitates the long-term interconnection and interoperability of advanced international networking • Hosts the 6 TAP - IPv6 Meet Point • Migrating to STAR LIGHT location at Northwestern University • www.startap.net

  22. ITN • International Transit Network • A collaboration between STAR TAP, CA*net3 and Abilene to support International Research Net Transit across North America • Joins together International Meet Points • STAR TAP, AMPATH, PNW GigaPoP, NYC PoPs • Transit provided to Research Nets from Europe, Asia, & Latin America

  23. GTRN Global Terabit Research Network • A collaborative effort between Asian, North American, and European R&E Networks • Spearheaded by Michael McRobbie & Steven Wallace of Indiana University • Effort to create a world wide R&E “network” via ITN like transit agreements • www.indiana.edu/~gtrn
