13. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200613 Internet2 Network Observatory Our ability to access the Infinera equipment, with its unique performance monitoring capabilities (dense OEO), will provide a rich set of data for network researchers – extending the Abilene Observatory onto the new Network Subgroup has been formed to create a goals document for performance monitoring at multiple levels Looking to form a Working Group Internet2 Network Services

14. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200614 Internet2 National Content Exchange Fabric Recently approved changes to Abilene CoU allow us to immediately begin exploring the creation of a national content exchange fabric Changes allow commodity offerings, for access to content, and to commercial service offerings that support research and education Intent is to intelligently pursue peerings with key content providers at multiple exchange points around the country Seeking the right balance between content value, commodity savings and network costs

15. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200615 Internet2 National Content Exchange Fabric Steve Wallace, IU, assigned to explore potential peering relationships with content providers Discussions are already underway Analyzing how the different content providers’ traffic would impact member connections before turning on the spigots

16. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200616 Internet2 HealthNet Currently engaged in discussions with members of the healthcare community to use part of the Internet2 Network infrastructure as a shared, secure network for healthcare facilities, teaching hospitals and pharmaceuticals to collaborate using advanced networking technologies Potential for implementation of a L1VPN that leverages GMPLS that would be part of a collaboration between Infinera and the community Internet2 Network Services

17. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200617 Commercial Services: Commodity Changes to the CoU mean Internet2 could offer high-quality IP services from Level 3 and at least 1 other carrier at aggregated prices This could also be done on the new Internet2 Network Start with 10 GE interfaces (rate limited initially) at a minimum of 3 locations around the country and then add more as transit needs grow Tier 1 & 2 peerings could be pursued to drive down costs Internet2 Network Services

18. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200618 Commercial Services: Commodity Goals of Offering Settlement-free I1 Peering & Transit Increase the Network’s value through expanded connectivity Ensure net neutrality via direct connections to content and service providers Provide researchers with realistic routing data Preserve Abilene-like performance and reliability Internet2 Network Services

19. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200619 Commercial Services: Commodity Risks of Offering Settlement-free I1 Peering & Transit Change of focus may equal loss of focus Engineering congestion-free backbone not as simple May complicate routing configuration for Connector Likely to increase incidence of network-based attacks over R & E networks May upset local and regional ISPs Internet2 Network Services

20. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200620 Commercial Services: Commodity Consequences May require more resilient connections to the new Network (Network now becomes part of your commodity infrastructure) QoS queuing mechanisms may be required to insure that traditional performance is maintained for R&E to R&E traffic. May affect connector network architecture and design Internet2 Network Services

21. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200621 Commercial Services: Commodity Design Principles Must be easy for connectors to opt in or out (BGP community based?) Must be easy for connectors to monitor their usage by traffic type (e.g., I2, commodity transit, settlement-free peering, etc). Internet2 Network Services

22. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200622 Commercial Services: VoIP Could provide access to commercial VoIP services through the Internet2 Network to: Provide low-cost long-distance termination, local inbound, E-911,... Continue Internet2’s WG efforts on SIP.EDU Internet2 Network Services

23. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200623 Commercial Services: VoIP Advantages could include: Ability to purchase existing services from a wider range of providers who may not currently have a local presence; Ability to purchase new services that are not currently available locally from any provider; A more competitive market for services that would reduce costs relative to existing contracts ("Voice Quilt"?); Reductions in local and long-distance TDM access trunks; Converge, flatten and simplify voice and data networks: reduce capital expenditures, management overhead; Level 3 will have a CALEA solution consistent with FCC mandates implemented to by the May 2007 deadline. Internet2 Network Services

24. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200624 Commercial Services: VoIP Service Models Voice solution needs can vary based on: Size of university Small & private vs. large & public Current IT and/or telecom capabilities Minimal system or staffing support, vs. integrated, highly- sophisticated systems with large staffs Application & end-user needs Dorm vs. offices Students vs. faculty Internet2 Network Services

25. Steve CotterCommunity Design Workshop – June 15-16, 200625 Commercial Services: VoIP Service Models There are various options, including: Hosted services through Level 3 reseller (appropriate for smaller customers and deployments) Through service provider enhancing / reselling Level 3 VoIP Through service provider using own network (and peering with the Internet2 Network) Direct integration of Level 3 VoIP with campus Internet2 Network Services
