3. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs 2000... August: Judge stays injunction Canarie/NLANR/I2 Techs meeting (Aug. 24): “Punishing the traffic of one application, using the rough technology we currently have available, accelerates users migrating to new apps more difficult to identify.” Steve Wallace, Indiana University September: “Blocking Napster is like standing before hundreds of hungry jackals and shouting “Shoo!” to keep them from 400 pounds of raw hamburger.” (Chronicle, 9/21/00)

4. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs 2000 September: some discussion on Educause’s CIO listserv (policy) and also on ResNet listserv (control and traffic monitoring/shaping) http://LISTSERV.ND.EDU/archives/resnet-l.html October: Internet2 Member Meeting (Atlanta, GA) BoF: Taming the bandwidth hogs…how can your campus do it. Creation of list to further discussion on issues brought up at BoF listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html

5. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs 2000: what do universities do? Go after Napster and ban its use because of liability for being a content provider or network performance. Not ban its use and wait… News.com: a third of U.S. colleges and universities are blocking Napster Napster very much alive Something is out there...

10. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs P2P: what it is and what it is not Defining P2P: Napster, and ideas and software that followed in its path. Two general families of ideas are called peer to peer: decentralization and dark matter. Also known as P2P. (Lucas Gonze, openp2p.com) Pure definition: isn’t this the original concept behind the Internet? P2P involves “a class of applications that takes advantage of resources—storage, cycles, content, human presence—available at the edges of the Internet.”

11. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs P2P: what it is and what it is not P2P: representative of bigger idealogical changes that are taking place: content, control and choice are returned to users( without the structure of the current Internet getting in the way). decentralization of information exchange : why individuals, lawmakers, governments, and corporations are concerned. - intellectual property laws - is there a market out there (enterprise, research, education, ??) P2P is not a technology, but an idea, a mindset.

17. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs The real reason the RIAA came after Napster...

18. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs Be scared, be very scared... In the year 2002, the government has outlawed MP3s and any related material including Napster. The FBI has created a department called the MP3 Task Force to help combat illegal MP3s, the Task Force are two former musicians, Agent Farley, and Agent Hopkins, together they will infiltrate the MP3 black market and put an end to MP3s forever. http://www.filmwave.com/mp3/

19. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs Today: P2P is very much alive... How universities have responded: Banning it (mainly b/c it clogs the network) “Passively” Monitoring (and keeping tabs on top hogs…) Blocking, Rate Limiting, Fair Usage Policy Implementations Educating (on copyright law and impact.) Not doing anything at all and waiting…

20. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs The challenges... Should you control p2p applications and if so, on what basis? Is this the right question anymore? planning for constantly increasing bandwidth demand without increasing funding. Bandwidth: for students (and staff and faculty/reserarchers): How much? What is fair? How to implement? P2P applications are changing our traditional paradigms. [archives at http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html]

21. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs Nothing new, yet... advent of P2P applications is challenging some of the broader Internet architecture models “Universities have been the first to face these challenges, and as a result, universities are increasingly looking [or could be looking] into new and innovative architecture and service models encompassing notions like settlement free exchange- point based peering, massive peering, GigaPOPs, dark fiber nets, neutral collocation facilities, self organizing nets, etc.” (from a post to the p2p list)

22. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs Mark your calendars Oct. 4-5, 2001, following the Fall Internet2 Member meeting at Austin, TX (Univ. of Texas at Austin, Sept. 30 - Oct. 4, 2001). The first R&E p2p workshop!

23. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs The p2p workshop! Our goal: We will specifically explore the technical and future dimensions of the fast-growing P2P services spaces and the opportunities and challenges presented for universities.

24. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs What this will be about P2P application developers, users and us (??) in the same room to share experiences and challenges. Exploration into how universities can integrate and perhaps even innovate with this "revolution,” while providing vehicle (or models, ideas, and such) through which universities can benefit. Advantages of P2P models for applications in research, learning and teaching. What could there be for the R&E community for future opportunities?

25. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs A. How do these things work? In general, how are P2P applications designed and what are the basic kinds of architectures/models that are used. What are the issues and challenges that come up when creating P2P systems? Are there ways that standardized architectures can be promoted that allow for collaboration between universities and P2P application developers? Network engineers have vested interest in understanding how P2P technology operates so that they can make networks operate efficiently, perhaps in spite of P2P applications being used.

26. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs B. P2P in the real world How are the most innovative models are being used "in the real world"? What are the policy and implications when these applications are used in real case scenarios.  Research and science (e.g., genome@home, climate simulation, economics, medicine)  Academia, education and learning - K-20 and more: educational p2p applications --LEARNSTER (see www.educommons.org) - what are the advantages of P2P systems for learning and educating.  Enterprise: Groove, Porivo, OpenCola, Parabon, etc.  Other...

27. 5/15/2001NLANR & I2 Joint Techs C. Approaching use and innotivation To provide a survey of successful methods that are being used at universities The issues surrounding the ever-growing demand for bandwidth What does it take to maximize both commodity and Internet2 bandwidth? With P2P, where will this innovation take us and how do we take advantage of the possibilities; how do we get people to think of P2P in innovative ways? who should we be getting interested in that innovation?
