10 October 2001 Global advanced networking connectivity Heather Boyles Heather Boyles

Outline Very brief intro to Internet2 international program What’s the status of advanced networking in the rest of the world? Minus U.S., Canada (see other presentations)

Internet2 International Goals Ensure global interoperability of the next generation of Internet technologies and applications Enable global collaboration in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally

International Partners Build effective partnerships in other countries With organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding

10 October 2001 Global Trends and Developments

Internet2 International connectivity Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and one interconnection point TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet, STAR TAP

STAR TAP and StarLight Based in Chicago STAR TAP based on AADS (Ameritech) ATM switch StarLight is 3 things A place: colo space at a Northwestern University building North Lakeshore Drive Optical interconnect: optical switching of wavelengths Production peering: bridging to legacy STAR TAP Seattl e Portl and SDSC NCSA NYCNYC SURF net, CERN CA*n et4 Asia- Pacific AMP ATH PSC Atlant a IUIU DTF 40Gb PLR CA*net4 Source: Tom DeFanti, UIUC

International Transit Network (ITN) project Provide transit across North America Cooperation between STAR TAP, CANARIE, Internet2 Has provided connectivity where formerly gaps DANTE/TEN-155, JANET to Asia, etc. Red CUDI to all

Abilene - ITN Internet2 providing transit between non- US networks (and vBNS) across Abilene Implemented on Abilene now with all non-US peer networks No transit to fednets (except vBNS) Direct peering at some interconnects (e.g. DREN, ESNET at Pacific Wave)
