3. 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
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…)

4. 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)

7. 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 !

10. 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)

11. 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.

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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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…
