8 Internet2 Areas of Work Advanced Applications Middleware Network Engineering End to End Performance Advanced Network Infrastructure Partnerships and Outreach

9 How Internet2 works Universities commit: Engineering lead: connect university to rest of Internet2 community, deploy new technologies Applications lead: support apps development on campus Middleware architect: work with I2MI to implement middleware infrastructure Working groups: Of expert/interested individuals within community Chaired by volunteer (sometimes by staff) Staff support Projects/Initiatives: Where collective resources needed E.g. Commons Initiative, End to End Performance Initiative

14 Internet2 Backbone Network(s) Have had two backbones in the past: vBNS (NSF supported, run by MCIWorldcom) Abilene (Internet2 member supported, run by UCAID) Abilene is current backbone network 11 core router nodes Moving to 10Gbps core backbone links Connections to the backbone at 622mbps to 10Gbps Most universities aggregate connections through “gigapops” or regional aggregator networks

17 Advanced Network Services Advance deployment on backbone Incentive to deploy in gigapops, regional, campus networks Accompany with hands-on training for campus engineers Native IPv6 Native multicast Measurement tools and architectures

18 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

19 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

20 Middleware Advanced Physical Network Infrastructure } Applications Advanced Network Services (Distributed Network Middleware) Authentication, Identification, Authorization, Directories, Security

21 Internet2 Middleware Initiative Focus on core middleware as infrastructure Issues: Interoperability Implementation on campuses Integrate with and support applications (upper) middleware, e.g. Grid

22 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

23 Summary Internet2 focused on: Working together to advance the development and use of networking infrastructure, technologies and applications AND Putting in place the community-wide, interoperable infrastructure (at network, middleware, advanced services levels) to support development and use for research, teaching, learning
