US network infrastructure overview National-scale infrastructure US government agency research and science networks –Department of Energy: ESNET (high-energy physics support), Ultra Science Net (network testbed; science) –NASA: NREN (network testbed); NISN (NASA science) –Department of Defense: DREN (experimental, science support) Higher-education and research institution infrastructure: –Internet2 infrastructure: Abilene backbone network (science, teaching, learning support) –National LambdaRail: fiber facility (network research, production interconnects) –HOPI testbed: facilities from Abilene and NLR (network experimentation/development)
5
US network infrastructure overview cont’d Sub-national or regional networks and facilities (alert: overlapping of categories!) Metropolitan-scale: MREN (Chicago), MAX (Washington, DC), etc. State-scale: CENIC (CA), iLIGHT(IN), iWIRE(IL), Florida LambdaRail (FL), LONI (LA), etc. Regional-scale: Pacific Wave (west coast), NOX (north-east), SOX (southeast), etc.

Links to the rest of the world NSF-funded links: HPIIS program (~1997 – present) –EuroLink (10G Chicago-Amsterdam) –LittleGLORIAD (previously NAUKAnet, MIRnet) 155Mpbs Chicago-Moscow & Chicago-Hong Kong) –TransPAC (2.5G Tokyo-Los Angeles) –[AMPATH: DS3 each from Miami to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Caracas] IRNC (International Research Network Connections) program (~2005 – 2010) –Open competition; 3-5 awards to US institutions to put in place new links –Status: review done; potential awardees notified; revised budgets and workplans being submitted
12
Links to the rest of the world Other US government agency supported Dept. of Energy: Chicago – CERN link IEEAF donated 10G + 622Mpbs across the Atlantic 10G + 622Mbps across the Pacific Other country-supported/operated
