R&E networking ROI has been staggering
These seminal investments • Put the R&E community “way out in front” of commercial markets
• Created a new, bandwidth-‐rich playing field
• Enabled innova+ons that led to a global transforma/on: our informa+on-‐based economy
6 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
• Many informa+on technologies have roots on university campuses
• Personal Ethernet services created massive campus “innova+on test beds”
• Commercial carriers were s+ll offering dial-‐up service and figh+ng the Internet technology vision

Despite all arguments, the Internet, created by the R&E community, became the de facto standard
“this decentralized model can’t scale or be manageable”
“packet networks won't be as reliable as
circuit networks”

An observa+on about our past and the future
• We moved the world from proprietary to open networking
19 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
The R&E community s/ll plays cri+cal role
continue to move!
• We led the paradigm shif from bandwidth scarcity to bandwidth availability
continue to lead!
• We enabled game-‐changing applica+ons on campuses and in research labs
continue to enable!
• We sparked leading new companies—and en+re industries continue to spark!
20 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
R&E partnerships with the private sector s/ll generate economic opportunity
• We created new markets by building networks and applica+ons that advance the state of the art
continue to create!
• We prototyped service technologies that turn into viable commercial offerings
continue to prototype!
• We built and validated the early models and applica+ons that create demand for commercial providers
continue to build and validate!
• We created and influenced today’s user and consumer base are creating and influencing tomorrow’s!

We s+ll can’t predict the future—but we can s/ll construct condi/ons that spur innova/on
What enables adop+on and creates demand?
R&E Approach Widespread bandwidth (and applica+on) availability
Commercial Approach Limited bandwidth (and applica+on) availability
An innova(on pla+orm must encourage u(liza(on, not limit it

We s+ll can’t predict the future—but we can s/ll construct condi/ons that spur innova/on
How do real game-‐changing applica+ons evolve?
R&E Approach Ubiquitous deployment in real user communi+es
Commercial Approach Small pilot demos with short-‐term ROI required
Small pilots don’t provide adequate scale and real-‐world condi(ons required to fully
test, incubate and deploy a successful applica(on

We s+ll can’t predict the future—but we can s/ll construct condi/ons that spur innova/on
How can we ensure that innova+on will flourish?
R&E Approach Give innovators an environment where they’re free to try new, untested, unpopular, ridiculously challenging things
Commercial Approach Give innovators an environment where they’re limited to current capabili+es, popular thinking, and warned not to break anything
Innova(on requires a big playground

What does the next U.S. Innova/on PlaSorm look like?
25 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
Innova/on PlaSorm vision:
“No barriers” bandwidth
Innova5on route • Raw capacity now
available on Internet2 Network a key imagina+on enabler
• Internet2 Network offers switching costs at a frac+on of commercial alterna+ves
Innova5on roadblocks • Limited capacity a major
research barrier—need more than incremental boosts
• IP switching costs are many +mes too high
26 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
Internet2 already driving the bandwidth innova+on route
• Through 100G/8.8 terabit Internet2 Network, R&E community can now offer “no barriers” bandwidth to innovators across the U.S.
• We’re moving aggressively to realize this vision at our leading research universi+es
• We’re crea+ng business model incen+ves for innova+on-‐level capacity to be extended deep into research campuses for non-‐commodity uses
27 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
Innova/on PlaSorm vision:
Sofware-‐defined networking (SDN)
Innova5on route • New paradigm opening
up network layer to innova+on
• [New cost model?] • Hardware can be
virtualized, innovators can create alterna+ve solu+ons, transparently access networking data
Innova5on roadblocks • Proprietary sofware in
routers and switches • Network cost model
resembles mainframe cost model
• Communica+ons with hardware limited by actual, physical, proprietary components
28 – 3/21/12, © 2012 Internet2
Internet2 already driving the SDN innova+on route
• Already crea+ng NDDI with partners IU and Stanford. (First phase underway and well received.)
• Expanding collabora+on with NSF/GENI, who are crea+ng the regional/campus early adopter community. (GENI plans to migrate its network to NDDI.)
• Developing an SDN “applica+on store,” allowing innovators to offer products on trial to a wide user base. (The same user base that jump-‐started the Internet.)
• Coordina+ng with industry partners to make Internet2 viable for commercial innova+ons.

Internet2 R&E Community: already building the next U.S. Innova+on PlaNorm
We’re commiTed to
• Building a new $96.5 million na+onal network owned by the R&E community
• A new na+onal-‐scale sofware defined networking plaNorm
• Expanding R&E networking capacity to 24 +mes current levels
• Na+onal coordina+ng programs in research, health, educa+on and service
• Will you be an innova+on leader?
• Will you partner with innova+on leaders?
• The Internet2 R&E community—helping you build your piece of the innova+on plaNorm
• What can we build together?
