Transcript of 6 December 2015 US update for ITF Heather Boyles, [email protected].
Outline
Internet2 update• Brief highlights of key activities/directions
US network infrastructure overview
US international connectivity update• International XPs• NSF HPIIS program• NSF IRNC program
Internet2 update
Key activities/directions• Applications Communities: arts & humanities, science & engineering
• Applications Technologies: PIC, Internet2 Commons• Middleware: InCommon establishment• Security: SALSA: network authentication• Performance Measurement and Monitoring: PIPES development
• Network research: Abilene Observatory, Network Research Facilitation Project
• New network architectures: HOPI testbed• Network infrastructure: Abilene, MAN LAN, NLR
US network infrastructure overview
National-scale infrastructure• US government agency research and science networks
–Department of Energy: ESNET (high-energy physics support), Ultra Science Net (network testbed; science)
–NASA: NREN (network testbed); NISN (NASA science)
–Department of Defense: DREN (experimental, science support)
• Higher-education and research institution infrastructure:– Internet2 infrastructure: Abilene backbone network (science,
teaching, learning support)
–National LambdaRail: fiber facility (network research, production interconnects)
–HOPI testbed: facilities from Abilene and NLR (network experimentation/development)
US network infrastructure overview cont’d
Sub-national or regional networks and facilities (alert: overlapping of categories!)
• Metropolitan-scale: MREN (Chicago), MAX (Washington, DC), etc.
• State-scale: CENIC (CA), iLIGHT(IN), iWIRE(IL), Florida LambdaRail (FL), LONI (LA), etc.
• Regional-scale: Pacific Wave (west coast), NOX (north-east), SOX (southeast), etc.

Abilene International Peering
US-based international exchange points
StarLight (Chicago)• Sited on Northwestern University campus (downtown)• Colocation and interconnection fabric
Pacific Wave (Seattle and Los Angeles)• 10G wavelength between (now operational)
AMPATH (Miami)• AMPATH links from several Latin American countries
MAN LAN (New York)• Sited in NYSERNET colocation space (Manhattan)• Colocation and interconnection fabric
Atlantic Wave (Miami….New York)• Emerging effort• Mirroring Pacific Wave
Links to the rest of the world
NSF-funded links:• HPIIS program (~1997 – present)
–EuroLink (10G Chicago-Amsterdam)–LittleGLORIAD (previously NAUKAnet, MIRnet) 155Mpbs
Chicago-Moscow & Chicago-Hong Kong)–TransPAC (2.5G Tokyo-Los Angeles)– [AMPATH: DS3 each from Miami to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires,
Caracas]
• IRNC (International Research Network Connections) program (~2005 – 2010)
–Open competition; 3-5 awards to US institutions to put in place new links
–Status: review done; potential awardees notified; revised budgets and workplans being submitted
Links to the rest of the world
Other US government agency supported
• Dept. of Energy: Chicago – CERN link
IEEAF donated• 10G + 622Mpbs across the Atlantic• 10G + 622Mbps across the Pacific
Other country-supported/operated
