Monday 19 April 2004
1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. – Salon J/K
Spring 2004 Internet2 Member Meeting
Ana Preston

2. ITF- Part 2
thoughts on the ITF format and what we have been doing at this and previous meetings
Part 1: feature presentations from international collaborative activities, advanced networking projects, application initiatives and/or updates from international partners.
Part 2: issues relevant to the global R&E community and panels on specific themes
Is there interest in setting forth a small program committee?
Other thoughts?

7. Optical and hybrid networking architectures
Continuing discussions from previous ITF meetings
Internet2:
Scalable, sustainable, high performance networking environment (Abilene)
National and regional initiatives
needs compel to look at designing and building a hybrid of shared IP packet switching and aggressive use of dynamically provisioned lambdas  HOPI – Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure
Several ingredients:
Resources from Abilene and MAN LAN
From Regional optical networks
From National Lambda Rail
We use the term HOPI (for hybrid optical and packet infrastructure) to denote both the effort to plan this future hybrid and the set of testbed facilities we will build to test various aspects of candidate hybrid designs.
The eventual hybrid will require a rich set of wide-area lambdas with IP routers and lambda switches capable of very high capacity and dynamic provisioning, all at the national backbone level. Similarly, we are working now to encourage the creation of RONs (for regional optical networks) by the same consortia that currently operate the gigaPoPs that connect our campuses to Abilene. Finally, the planned hybrid infrastructure will require new forms of campus LANs.
To enable the testing of various hybrid approaches, we are building the HOPI testbed, making use of resources from Abilene, from the RONs, and from National LambdaRail (of which Internet2 is a key participant).

9. Workshop on Thursday "Expanding the Reach of Advanced Networking“
April 22, 2004 – Salon H
Two main objectives:
Global research and education networking community and key science, funding and aid agencies: How can get to know each other (and know about what we do)
providing a forum to explore ways in which we may work together to address the challenges in extending the reach of Internet infrastructure and networks in support of research, education and knowledge sharing.
1/15/2019

10. Expanding the reach of advanced networking
Highlights:
a keynote speech by Mohamed Muhsin, Vice-President and CIO of the World Bank
presentations on programs from several science, funding and aid agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the Organization of American States, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development, USAID and other European and Australian agencies for international development.
presentations from members of the global research and education community that illustrate approaches for expanding network access to resource limited settings around the globe and how we may better work together to address needs and issues.
