Welcome! Who is this person with the accent? Thank you for the invitation to participate What I will talk about: Internet2 in the US International partnerships and Internet2 Internet2 and CLARA 1. el papel de Internet2 en USA (un resumen muy basico sobre que somos)         2. enfocado a lo internacional, resaltare el papel importante de nuestros colaboradores internacionales y conexiones (un poquito sobre el panorama internacional en terminos de "high performance networks in support of research and education")         3. resaltare la importancia de la relacion con America Latina; el porque es estrategica la relacion con CLARA. 1/16/2019

Internet2: Mission and Goals Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher education, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s internet. Enable new generation of applications Create leading edge R&E network capability Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet www.internet2.edu Tomorrow’s Internet promises even more demands: many more users and even more demanding applications. New capabilities must be developed to realize the potential of tomorrow’s Internet. Universities strive for qualitative and quantitative improvements: In support of research In support of teaching and learning how to accelerate the change in technologies and applications on the internet to support new demands for the research and education community? how can new technologies be incorporated into the existing Internet? (think back in when the Internet started…) 1/16/2019

OK, really what is Internet2? Membership-driven organization based in the US Established in 1997 led by higher ed to support missions (research, teaching and learning) of our members focus on advanced networking capabilities: Persistent, reliable and the most advanced network (Abilene): 10Gbps backbone connecting over 215+ universities and research centers fiber initiatives, end-to-end architecture and support technologies organization of 70+ staff to support program areas and initiatives – we play a gluing role Universities commit (as part of consortium) to support Internet2’s goals within campuses/regionals and also maintain connections to Internet2 backbone (Abilene) 1/16/2019

Internet2: communities – www.internet2.edu 45 International Partners University Members (205) BoFs Workshops & Meetings Working Groups Corporate Members (50+) Boards & Councils SIGs Affiliate Members (30+) Shared interests and joint effort K20 Community Internet2 universities are recreating the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy Industry Government International Government Partners GigaPoPs (31) 1/16/2019

Why International importance? Applications End-to-end Performance motivate Security Middleware enable Services Networks 1/16/2019

International Partnerships Who do we ‘partner’ with and how? organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies National scope; most likely operate a national R&E network Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding Ensure global interoperability: Enable global coordination and end-to-end performance in support of our communities (over high-performance infrastructures) Enable global collaboration in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally Show me the value of International ! 1/16/2019

International connectivity Internet2 backbone networks are in the United States Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US NSF provides some funding: 3 international links: TransPAC (Asia/Pacific Rim), EuroLink (Europe), NAUKAnet (Russia) 1 interconnection point: STAR TAP/Star Light (Chicago), Other international exchange points/transit facilitated by Internet2 members and Internet2 Seattle (Pacific Wave) - and AMPATH (Miami – partial NSF fdg) MAN LAN (New York) LALALAN (Los Angeles, coming up) 1/16/2019

Partners in the Americas 3 intl connections (+400 Mbps into US) 1st Intl Partner over +3 Gbps to US user-controlled lightpaths 45 Mbps (Miami, Ampath) Canada: 1st Internet2 MoU partner; leading partner in global initiatives Mexico: several direct connections with our neighbor Central America: Costa Rica currently exploring peering options to the US, as well as Panama South America: Brazil, Chile and Argentina – leading the way for South America – all currently connected with at least 45 Mbps; strong application communities (e.g., astronomy, bio-technology, and many more) and many hosts to key scientific resources/instruments that can be reached by US researchers (e.g., Gemini, ALMA) Newest partners (just signed MoU with them at Fall meeting): Ecuador and Venezuela – strong efforts underway With many countries have bridged a strong dialogue and hope to continue expanding our partnership to with many more countries in the region. 2 x 45 Mbps (Miami, Ampath) 45 Mbps (Miami, Ampath) 45 Mbps (Miami, Ampath) 1/16/2019

As of today, connecting to LA&C AMPATH: Florida International University (Global Crossing) currently Argentina, Brasil (2), Chile and Venezuela: all at 45 Mbps Initial boost for Advanced Networking in LA Connections are point to point to Miami And now 1/16/2019

Since you asked… Our members are increasingly dependent on access globally to resources: collaborators, data, scientific instruments. Access to scientific instruments with specific geo-location needs: optical telescopes: e.g., Cerro Pachon, Chile; operated by US and other countries Radio telescopes: establishing distributed “antennae” network (e.g., US, Asia, Europe, South America) for very-long baseline interferometry (beyond experiments pushing the network, obtaining finer-grain pictures of the cosmos) Access to/collecting geo-specific data and getting it back for analysis, visualization, sharing, prevention Malaria data in sub-Saharan Africa Heard of SARS? (WHO, NIH, universities) Environmental data from the Amazon or Antartica 1/16/2019

Access to people for teaching/learning Singular instruments: not possible for each country to “afford” for their own country: 30-story scanning electron microscope in Japan Large-Hedron collider at CERN in Geneva: great example of an international-funded facility where collaborators around the world (1000s) are working to conduct experiments together using these facilities Access to people for teaching/learning Zuckerman for a violin class Distance education and exchanges Multi-disciplinary real problems telemedicine, second opinion network opportunities, border issues, environmental research, etc. El Nino Disaster preparedness programs Bio-technology / genomics apps.internet2.edu for more information and details 1/16/2019

Changes in global “networking” The US has played a key role in having very rich connectivity to the ‘world’ many initiatives outside the US are engaging and establishing leadership roles in connecting to the world North America and the rest of the continent – some closing of the gap… some expanding…not unlike what is happening around the world: the getting to hard-to-reach places of the world More than ever, we need to solidify our international ties and work and learn from our partners around the world 1/16/2019

In the Americas and Internet2 CLARA can help us support the work and goals of our members Access!! Unprecedented opportunities for LA&C and collaborations across the continent in advanced technological and scientific applications Economies of scale and realities: Current model may not scale in the long-term Shared “pipes” (e.g. TransPAC model) In the broader context, CLARA is significant b/c: 1/16/2019

The strategic importance of CLARA – cont. A regional network may more easily enable the intra-connectivity within the most challenging places/hard to reach in LA&C Better cohesive networking picture for American continent CLARA symbolizes a spirit of collaboration; expertise and resources human networks expansion of successful models: what has worked and what may not leading the process in changing traditional models to innovative and flexible networking models… ability to influence and work closely with government and other agencies broader impact on areas impacted by communication and information technologies be ahead, prepared and work towards development of new applications with impact on society 1/16/2019

In summary Leading-edge, high-performance network infrastructure is being put in place to support science, research, teaching and learning in countries around the world It is key that we work with international partners New and unique opportunities for a new level of collaborations around the world CLARA is clearly key in LA&C and globally US/Internet2 has and will continue to strengthen ties with CLARA and LA&C much work still to come, but some great initial steps have begun… 1/16/2019
