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. GovernmentSeparate 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

Abilene International Peering (August 2002)
IPv6
Focus 1: Running native, high-performance IPv6 on Abilene backbone routers
• IPv4-IPv6 dual stack running on Cisco GSR 12008 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, 6-10 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)http://www.gtrn.net/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

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
