Simon C. Lin Future Internet Development Bandwidth Glut based on a single Internet Protocol (IP) which will allow existing voice, data and video services running as applications on IP. Internet will be everywhere like air, always-on as water and electricity. Connectionism, Scalability and Criticality are three major characteristics. Internet is a paradigm shift and survival issue, which will provide advanced platform for new service models.

Simon C. Lin IP over Dark Fibre Low cost, Effective Infinite bandwidth High Performance Router acts as the main switching routing device instead of SONET/SDH switched. LAN invades the WAN - no complex SONET or ATM required in network A network with multiple paths, full DNS and http caching can be more reliable than the SONET/SDH network Enables new applications and services not possible with traditional telecom service providers It will fundamentally change the traditional carrier- customer relationship Extending the Internet model of autonomous peering networks to the telecom world

Simon C. Lin Next Generation Internet (NGI) Applications Broadband Always-on Everywhere Intelligent, Natural, Easy, Trusted Internet will provide a powerful and versatile environment for business, education, culture, and entertainment, etc. Where are the Content? How do we create, store, manage, retrieve, and deliver these content? Scalability is the keyword!

Simon C. Lin Internet Revolution is not Over but Prolonged Poor business models and bad policies can hamper Internet usefulness the governmental regulation body could not realize the tremendous power of this paradigm shift Therefore, the point-to-point Internet bandwidth is still not sufficient to afford the NGI Applications the public has been led into misconception of the development of telecommunication business model Internet is under prolonged revolution for the moment due to the over-expectation of advanced applications where the global infrastructure is not available yet

Simon C. Lin Drives for Direct Internet Connection Increasing needs for Grid architecture Distributed Computing Collaborative Video communication, HDTV, Large-scale Video conferencing, Music Delivery Remote Instrumentation, Medical Imaging Digital Libraries/Museum ENUM VoIP Service Infrastructure, Wide area pure IP telephony

Simon C. Lin Taipei GigaPoP Deployment As a national leader of research and higher education, Academia Sinica initiated Taipei GigaPoP project on 1997 Goal –Resolution to current metropolitan network problems –Platform for adventurous service models deployment –Pushing IP over dark fiber Model instead of SONet/SDH infrastructure ROW: took 2 years Fibre Deployment:

Simon C. Lin Taipei GigaPoP’s Role Point of Aggregation Provides traffic exchange Variety of speed Point of policy implementation telecommunication regulation AUPs Portal Point of backbone uplink Buying power and shared use between collaborating partners

Simon C. Lin Taipei GigaPoP Service IPv4 Content co-location Cache Service High capacity & reliability Best effort QoS vs. Bandwidth Multicast one sources to many receivers (lectures) few sources to few receivers (meeting)

Simon C. Lin Movement of Infrastructure and Service Model Network infrastructure and service model has been changed significantly after Taipei GigaPoP. Bringing in Ethernet service Bringing in dark fibre service Bringing in IRU service model of international link to end user.

Simon C. Lin Target of Taiwan Academic Network Fast Ethernet to every school and Gigabit Ethernet to major education/research institutions – 2002 Gigabit Ethernet to every school and 10Gbp to major education/research institutions by 2005

Simon C. Lin Infrastructure Movement of Taiwan Academic Network The Gigabit Ethernet backbone will be the educational service network. The Biomedical Research Network may become part of the Taiwan Research Network. Partnership of paublic and private sectors to provide Dark Fibre and Lambda Internet. DWDM testbed is undergoing now.

Simon C. Lin Conclusion Taiwan has recognized the importance of access to low cost dark fiber as fundamental economic enabler Taiwan must take advantage of Internet network principles and abandon the old Telecom's way of thinking Directions: Direct Link, Pure IP-based, Route/Path redundancy, Peering & Transit, etc. Scientific Collaboration, Digital Library/Archive for the Next Generation Internet Applications will become mature in the 21st century Resource sharing infrastructure may be the next big thing after WWW
