CENIC meeting May 2001 Internet2 international program Heather Boyles

Outline Objectives Partners By region Resources

Why, What and Who of Internet2 Accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s 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 NSF, DARPA, DOE, NIH, NASA partnerships

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

International Partners Build effective partnerships in other countries With organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding

MoU in brief Provide/promote interconnectivity between communities Collaborate on technology development and deployment Facilitate collaboration between members on applications Encourage technology transfer

Americas CANARIE Industry, education, government partnership CUDI (Corporacion Universitaria para el Desarollo de Internet: México) 30 universities in México Telmex-based network Soon to have 2 interconnection points with U.S. REUNA (Chile)

Americas New submarine cables coming up Remote instruments Telescopes in Chile Cosmic ray observatory (P. Auger) in Argentina Earth-observation, environmental apps

Internet2 International connectivity Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and one interconnection point TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet, STAR TAP

International interconnection points STAR TAP NSF-funded project Utilizes Ameritech-provided ATM switch in Chicago Other places New York City Seattle Los Angeles Miami San Diego El Paso

International Transit Network (ITN) project Provide transit across North America Cooperation between STAR TAP, CANARIE, Internet2 Has provided connectivity where formerly gaps DANTE/TEN-155, JANET to Asia, etc. Red CUDI to all

Abilene - ITN Internet2 providing transit between non-US networks (and vBNS) across Abilene Implemented on Abilene now with participating networks
