16. Yesterday’s Internet Thousands of users Remote login, file transfer
Interconnect mainframe computers
Applications capitalize on underlying technology
These are some important characteristics of the Internet during its pre-commercial development.
4/18/2019

17. Today’s Internet Millions of users
Web, , low-quality audio & video
Interconnect personal computers and servers
Applications adapt to underlying technology
Since commercialization in 1994, key characteristics of the Internet have changed: the size of the network and the capacity applications require support beyond the original design parameters of the underlying technologies.
4/18/2019

18. 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)
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.
4/18/2019

19. 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
Talk the slide

20. 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
Today’s Internet has serious shortcomings. Some of them are performance or technically related, which limit the kinds of applications and capabilities the Internet can support. Other limitations affect the ability to innovate new capabilities that would address some of the performance and technical limitations.
4/18/2019

21. Internet Development Spiral
Commercialization
Privatization
Today’s Internet
This spiral represents one way of looking at the development of the Internet. As the Internet moved from a research project to a commercial service, a set of partnerships fostered its development. During this process, the Internet grew in a number of ways: size, complexity, bandwidth, etc. Internet2 is forming the partnerships needed for technologies in a second cycle of innovation make their way into the commercial Internet.

23. Internet2 Network Infrastructure
Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) to 11 Gbps (OC192) capacity today
GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points
Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop
This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.

Computational middleware (Beta Grid)
Medical middleware
Directories
The commercial development of middleware has lagged. These are some of the activities and work underway within the Internet2 community. Shibboleth, which enables you to authenticate locally and act globally, has captured the interest of a number of the academic content providers such as EBSCO, Web CT. There are a number of active pilot delivery projects underway. The set of protocols and software was developed in a WG structure

35. Initiatives The Commons End to End Performance K 20 Voice over IP
In addition to the research areas just mentioned Internet2 is focused on holistic approaches
The Commons, which Ted will talk about is a framework for collaboration
The mission of the E2Epi is to create a predictable, and well-supported environment in which Internet2 campus network users have routinely successful experiences in their development and use of advanced Internet applications. We’re working on this by focusing resources and efforts on improving performance problem detection and resolution throughout campus, regional, and national networking infrastructure.
The Internet2 K20 Initiative brings together Internet2 member institutions, primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, libraries, and museums to get new technologies—advanced networking tools, applications, middleware, and content—into the hands of innovators, across all educational sectors in the United States, as quickly and as “connectedly” as possible
4/18/2019

36. Internet2 Partnerships
Internet2 seeks to recreate the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy
Universities
Industry
Government
International
Partnerships are the foundation of how the Internet developed and they are also a part of the foundation of Internet2.
4/18/2019

37. Technology Transfer Conduits
Collaborating on advanced applications
Deploying pre-commercial infrastructure and protocols
Establishing expertise and human capital
Large-scale proof of concept
A primary goal of Internet2 is to ensure the rapid adoption of new capabilities in the global Internet. Internet2 Corporate Partners play an important role in ensuring these technologies are broadly deployed. The Internet2 community provides a way for new capabilities to be tested. Many of the students at universities take the experience and expertise they gain through their university’s participation in Internet2 with them when they move into the commercial world.

Distributed computation
Virtual laboratories
Digital libraries
Distributed learning
Digital video
Tele-immersion
Ted Hanss will cover this area in detail
Advanced applications com in many flavors, and those flavors can be combined. Advanced applications share the characteristic that they require advanced network capabilities to work—they either don’t work at all, or won’t work well on today’s Internet.
Enabling advanced applications is at the heart of Internet2.
