People on the Internet Source: Nua Internet Surveys Millions of People

Yesterday’s Internet Thousands of users Remote login, file transfer Interconnect mainframe computers Applications capitalize on underlying technology

Today’s Internet Millions of users Web, , low-quality audio & video Interconnect personal computers and servers Applications adapt to underlying technology

Today’s Internet Doesn’t Provide reliable end-to-end performance Encourage cooperation on new capabilities Allow testing of new technologies Support development of revolutionary applications

Tomorrow’s Internet Billions of users and devices Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video- conference, HDTV) Interconnect personal computers, servers, and embedded computers New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

Why Internet2? The Internet was not designed for: Millions of users Congestion Multimedia Real time interaction But, only the Internet can: Accommodate explosive growth Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration

Why University Leadership? The Internet came from the academic community Stanford -- the Internet protocols NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet CERN -- The WWW protocols University of Illinois -- The Web browser Universities’ research and education mission require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it

Research and Development Commercialization Partnerships Privatization Internet Development Spiral Today’s Internet Internet2 Source: Ivan Moura Campos

Internet2 Goals Enable new generation of applications Re-create leading edge R&E network capability Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet

Internet2 Partnerships Internet2 universities are recreating the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy Industry Government International

Internet2 Members 185 universities (yellow dots) 75 corporations 40 non-profits and gov’t labs 32 international partners

Internet2 Corporate Partners 3Com Advanced Network & Services Alcatel Ameritech AT&T Cisco Systems IBM ITC^Deltacom Lucent Technologies Marconi WorldCom Microsoft Newbridge Networks Netcom Systems Nortel Networks Qwest Communications SBC Communications WCI Cable

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

Internet2 Focus Areas Advanced Network Infrastructure Middleware Engineering Advanced Applications Partnerships

Internet2 Backbone Networks GigaPoP One Internet2 Network Architecture GigaPoP Two GigaPoP Four GigaPoP Three

Network Architecture Internet2 Interconnect Cloud GigaPoP One Regional Network University C Commercial Internet Connections University B University A

Internet2 Backbone Networks Donna Cox, Robert Patterson, NCSA

Internet2 Network Infrastructure Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) capacity today GigaPoPs provide regional high- performance aggregation points Goal: Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop

Internet2 GigaPoPs 27 as of January 2001

Internet2 December Gigabits per second backbone Optical transport capability (Lambda) using DWDM Flexible provisioning to support point to point optical connection Native IPv6 deployment concurrent with IPv4

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 network projects TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet
