US update for ITF Heather Boyles, heather@internet2.edu
Outline • Internet2 update • Brief highlights of key activities/directions • US network infrastructure overview • US international connectivity update • International XPs • NSF HPIIS program • NSF IRNC program
Internet2 update • Key activities/directions • Applications Communities: arts & humanities, science & engineering • Applications Technologies: PIC, Internet2 Commons • Middleware: InCommon establishment • Security: SALSA: network authentication • Performance Measurement and Monitoring: PIPES development • Network research: Abilene Observatory, Network Research Facilitation Project • New network architectures: HOPI testbed • Network infrastructure: Abilene, MAN LAN, NLR
US network infrastructure overview • National-scale infrastructure • US government agency research and science networks • Department of Energy: ESNET (high-energy physics support), Ultra Science Net (network testbed; science) • NASA: NREN (network testbed); NISN (NASA science) • Department of Defense: DREN (experimental, science support) • Higher-education and research institution infrastructure: • Internet2 infrastructure: Abilene backbone network (science, teaching, learning support) • National LambdaRail: fiber facility (network research, production interconnects) • HOPI testbed: facilities from Abilene and NLR (network experimentation/development)
US network infrastructure overview cont’d • Sub-national or regional networks and facilities (alert: overlapping of categories!) • Metropolitan-scale: MREN (Chicago), MAX (Washington, DC), etc. • State-scale: CENIC (CA), iLIGHT(IN), iWIRE(IL), Florida LambdaRail (FL), LONI (LA), etc. • Regional-scale: Pacific Wave (west coast), NOX (north-east), SOX (southeast), etc.

US-based international exchange points • StarLight (Chicago) • Sited on Northwestern University campus (downtown) • Colocation and interconnection fabric • Pacific Wave (Seattle and Los Angeles) • 10G wavelength between (now operational) • AMPATH (Miami) • AMPATH links from several Latin American countries • MAN LAN (New York) • Sited in NYSERNET colocation space (Manhattan) • Colocation and interconnection fabric • Atlantic Wave (Miami….New York) • Emerging effort • Mirroring Pacific Wave
Links to the rest of the world • NSF-funded links: • HPIIS program (~1997 – present) • EuroLink (10G Chicago-Amsterdam) • LittleGLORIAD (previously NAUKAnet, MIRnet) 155Mpbs Chicago-Moscow & Chicago-Hong Kong) • TransPAC (2.5G Tokyo-Los Angeles) • [AMPATH: DS3 each from Miami to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Caracas] • IRNC (International Research Network Connections) program (~2005 – 2010) • Open competition; 3-5 awards to US institutions to put in place new links • Status: review done; potential awardees notified; revised budgets and workplans being submitted
Links to the rest of the world • Other US government agency supported • Dept. of Energy: Chicago – CERN link • IEEAF donated • 10G + 622Mpbs across the Atlantic • 10G + 622Mbps across the Pacific • Other country-supported/operated
