14 June 2015 Internet2: Today, Tomorrow and the GTRN Douglas E. Van Houweling President and CEO, Internet2 Douglas E. Van Houweling President and CEO, Internet2

Introduction Delighted to join our partners CERNET CSTNET NSFCNET Privileged to join distinguished colleagues from the Chinese and US networking community My fourth Chinese – American Networking Symposium 11 January Maryland 26 May Beijing 12 March 2001 – Maryland 22 August Shanghai

Internet2 Mission and Goals Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet. Enable new generation of applications Create leading edge R&E network capability Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet

University Leadership 200 university members University presidents/chancellors are the voting representatives Strong board Advisory councils with board seats Applications Strategy Network Planning and Policy Network Research Liaison Industry Liaison Council

Internet2 Members +200 universities (yellow dots)

Additional Membership Over 60 Internet2 Corporate Members Over 40 Affiliate Members Government Research Agencies Internet2/U.S. Government: separate but interdependent Internet2 is led by higher education Focused on research and education needs Internet2 International Partner Program

Internet2/U.S. Government Separate but Interdependent U.S. Government NSF leadership role in NSFnet NSF’s vBNS served as first Internet2 backbone NSF and other agencies fund next generation internet research, infrastructure, applications Internet2 Led by higher education Focused on research and education needs Interdependent: Government agency funding to research, connections, applications development Science and engineering funded projects increasingly dependent on persistent, high-performance infrastructure provided by Internet2 community (at campus, regional and national levels)

Internet2 Focus Areas Advanced Applications Middleware Engineering End to End Performance Advanced Network Infrastructure Partnerships

Internet2 Backbone Network: Abilene 2.4Gbps upgrading to 10Gbps Driving deployment of advanced services - native IPv6, native multicast, measurement infrastructure, QoS 215 participating institutions Lead connectors at backbone speed Connect millions of students, faculty, and staff

Extending Availability: State Educational Networks Internet2 members sponsor Abilene participation Currently 18 State-based education networks Enables collaboration using advanced networking for K20, museums, libraries, etc Additional regional and state investment

IPv6 Focus 1: Running native, high-performance IPv6 on Abilene backbone routers IPv4-IPv6 dual stack running on Cisco GSR routers Will run dual stack on Juniper T640 from installation (starting August 2002) Motivations –Resolving IPv4 address exhaustion issues –Preserving original End-to-End Architecture model –International collaboration –Router and host OS capabilities Focus 2: hands-on training at campus level, workshops this year

End to End Performance Initiative To enable the researchers, faculty, students and staff who use high performance networks to obtain optimal performance from the current infrastructure on a consistent basis. Raw Connectivity Applications Performance

E2E Performance Initiative Work Understand applications and their performance requirements Technical Advisory Group Provide best practices/experience for network operators Collecting Performance Stories Help the application user troubleshoot problems Measurement Architecture Document H.323 Beacon Reflector Development Bring all of this together for the end user Performance Analysis Station and GUI for End-User Solution

Internet2 Middleware Initiative Focus on core middleware as infrastructure Issues: Interoperability Implementation on campuses Integrate with and support applications (upper) middleware, e.g. Grid

Shibboleth Facilitates inter-institutional sharing of web resources subject to access controls Examples: Students enrolled in a course across multiple universities accessing class materials and Learning Mgmt Systems Research workgroups sharing controlled resources (the original web) Users register only at their “home” or “origin” institution The release of the beta code is due in August and a production code release scheduled for October

Result: uses of Internet2 networking environment Numerous applications in use/being developed Remote instrument access High-quality video- conferencing

Internet2 Tomorrow Nationwide backbone capable of gbps+ flows Explore optical technologies –New types of transport technologies –Wavelength switching –Potential for another 10x leap in bandwidth Cooperatively managed, high-performance global network infrastructure End to End Performance analysis tools Middleware components built into popular applications Shibboleth for video-conferencing

Global Terabit Research Network (GTRN) Cooperatively, cohesively manage intercontinental infrastructure Focus on end to end performance on global basis for global science Initial partners: Europe NREN Consortium/DANTE Internet2 Need global engagement by continent CANARIE engaged Asian partnership Assisted by public & private infrastructure investment

GTRN Current Infrastructure DANTE-provided router in NYC in GTRN AS DANTE-provided 2.5gbps links across Atlantic to GEANT Abilene providing tunnel between New York, (Chicago), Seattle NSF-funded StarLight will provide GNAP Pacific Wave hosting GNAP in Seattle Global NOC at Indiana University

E2E piPES: End to End Performance Initiative Performance Environment System PMP E2E piPES will provide contact information when a segment in the path appears to have a problem Abilene PMP Campus X PMP Campus Y Host A Host B The test results obtained by the End-User will be passed on to the contact person PMP Regional Network J PMP Regional Network M Gigapop S Gigapop T piPES Test Analysis Looks like a problem In Gigapop T. Pass these test result to:

Supporting New uses, applications

Internet2 in the Dot.com/Telecom Collapse Environment Advanced infrastructure for research & education more difficult to acquire. Corporate R&D spending greatly reduced Labs & startups Internet2 has a more clearly defined but broader mission Requires partnership across the planet
