HPIIS Program Review The Internet2 Perspective Doug Van Houweling President and CEO, Internet2 25 October 2000 San Diego, CA

Outline Internet2 background Internet2 international connectivity Abilene and international peering HPIIS program and Internet2 NSF role in international connectivity

Internet2 Background Accelerating the creation of tomorrows Internet Enable new applications development Providing advanced networking environment Technology transfer University-led 180 university members In partnership with industry and government 70 corporate members 40 others – growing number of government labs

Internet2 International Goals Ensure global interoperability of the next generation of Internet technologies and applications Enable global collaboration in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally

Internet2 International Connectivity Memoranda of Understanding with similar organizations in other countries (33) to provide for interconnectivity with Internet2 backbones –vBNS –Abilene

Abilene Connectivity Abilene almost two years in operation Partnership of Internet2, Qwest, Cisco, Nortel and Indiana University Connections to the backbone at 44 (with additional 8 planned) Individual institution participation at 159 (with additional 14 in progress)

Abilene International Peering STAR TAP APAN/TransPAC, Ca*net3, CERN, CERnet, IUCC, NORDUnet, RENATER, REUNA, SURFnet, SingAREN, SINET, TAnet2, (HARnet?, FAPESP?) OC12 NYCM DANTE*, JANET, NORDUnet, SURFnet CA*net3 (HEAnet) STTL CAnet3, (AARnet) SNVA (SINET, GEMNET) LOSA SingAREN, SINET (HARNET?) AmPATH (REUNA, CUDI?, RNP2?, RETINA?) OC3-12 El Paso, TX (CUDI) CALREN2 CUDI *including DFN and INFN-GARR connections

International Transit Network (ITN) Project Cooperation between STAR TAP, CANARIE, Internet2 Internet2 providing transit between non-US networks (and vBNS) across Abilene CANARIE doing same over CA*net3 Initial implementation on Abilene and CA*net3 this week

ITN coordination C1 S1 A1 CA*net3 - AS6509 Abilene - AS11537 C2 A2 S2 Seattle Chicago NYC STARTAP - AS10764 e.g. A2 peering with Abilene on East Coast can transit to C1 peering with CA*net3 on West Coast.

HPIIS projects and Abilene TransPAC Abilene peering with APAN users over TransPAC currently at STAR TAP ATM service EuroLink CERN is member of Internet2 and Primary Participant on Abilene IUCC peering with Abilene at STAR TAP ATM service NORDUnet peering with Abilene in NYC RENATER2 peering with Abilene at STAR TAP ATM service SURFnet peering with Abilene in NYC MIRnet Working toward MoU with appropriate organization in Russia, toward peering agreement with MIRnet

NSF Role US advanced networking needs NSF support in international connectivity International connections costs Support for coordination at national level

The Future of International Connectivity Need to focus on deploying advanced capabilities across international connections Multicast QoS IPv6 Middleware Need to focus on end2end performance
