Brief History of the Internet

• 1969: ARPA was formed. (John F. Kennedy)• 1970: ALOHAnet protocol (Norman Abramson)• 1973: ARPAnet was extended to Europe• 1973: Ethernet (Bob Metcalfe)• 1974: TCP/IP protocol (Vint Cerf)• 1979: UUCPnet & USENET (Mark Horton & Rick Adams)• 1981: BITNET (IBM)• 1983: TCP/IP was adopted by ARPAnet (Vint Cerf) CSNET was connected to ARPAnet (Larry Landweber)• 1986: NSFNET with TCP/IP protocol (Larry Landweber)


ICM (1990.12 – 1997.9) • Steve Goldstein was in charge of the pro

ject, managed by Steve Wolff.• Started from 128kbps to INRIA (France)• Upgraded to 50Mbps, shared with UUne

t• Bob Collet @ Sprint made full use of the

grant for the business of commercial ISP; most of research networks in Asia were connected to SprintLink.

• Total budget was $9.35M.


Pre-HPIIS

• Steve made the presentation at INET’95 that new International Internet Services had been drafted for multiple awards.

http://www.irbs.net/internet/nanog/9505/0052.html

• The target date of the solicitation was 1995.5-6, and the award was expected by the end of 1995.• Management review was tough, and George Strawn helped the internal review process.


HPIIS (1998.8 – 2004.7)

• Three awards:

<Net. Name> <Total Grant> <Bandwidth>

TransPAC $14M 35Mbps => 5Gbps

EuroLink $12M 155Mbps => 20Gbps

NaukaNet $8M 6Mbps=> 155Mbps


Dr. Steve Goldstein

In NSF After Retiring


TransPAC• Transit services are widely provided to APAN mem

bers.• Dual circuit topology & excellent NOC team enable

s ~100% availability.• High performance experiments are conducted jointl

y by the scientists and NOC. => Three groups were awarded at SC2003.• GbE link between APAN-JP and SURFnet has been

installed via TransLight: GLIF• Observatory project with enhanced services is being

developed & deployed.


HPII2’s Priorities• Enable communication, cooperation and collaboration between the U.S. and international science and engineering, research and education communities • Support and encourage continuing development of a coordinated rational

international network architecture • Enable experimentation with new technologies to insure that facilities remain at the

leading edge • Cooperate with NSF programs in scientific disciplines requiring special access to

domain specific CI, data and collaborators • Enhance connectivity to additional regions (e.g., Latin America, Africa) • Success will to a great extend depend on partnerships with peer organizations

and projects throughout the world!


Summary

• HPIIS has developed intra-Asia connectivity, and has expanded the regional collaborations as well as the global joint projects.

• Science community is well supported, and is expanding the collaborations with USA, too.

• NSF recently granted Gloriad project, making up for the thin pipe between CN and JP. It is critical to establish a fat pipe between CN and JP, and the new plan was presented by a CRL executive at Joint Techs Workshop in Hawaii last month.


Appendix

Personal View1. Regional cable systems & deregulation of t

elecom business help us study on APAN topology.

2. Collaboration between Gloriad and APAN/TransPAC is critical for NSF’s new solicitation.


Fat Cables in AsiaNorth Region : JP, KR, TW, CN

EAC : 2.56Tbps

FLAG : 2.4 - 3.8Tbps

Whole Asia : North Region + SG + PH (+ MY)

C2C : 7.68Tbps

APCN2 : 2.56Tbps

APCN2


Possible Hubs in Asia- my personal observation

Deregulation of telecom business is critical for

lost-cost international circuits. 　 The following 3

cities are expected to be the main hubs in Asia:• Tokyo: most trans-pacific cables are terminated.• Hong Kong: gateway to China• Singapore: many cables are landed.


Collaborations between

Gloriad and APAN/TransPAC

1. NSF CISE will announce the new solicitation of international Internet Services; Priorities are clarified.

2. NSF official informally asks to integrate two NSF projects, TransPAC and Gloriad into a single one.

This link will be used for Gloriad projects, too.


Single Proposal from Asia

• NSF will grant only one proposal from Asia.• CSTNET will use JP-CN 2.5Gbps link for APAN

activities.• Gloriad projects will be possible over APAN/ Tra

nsPAC links.• The principal investigator of the new proposal will

be discussed among IU, NCSA, Internet2, etc.• APAN-JP will discuss on the single proposal with

CSTNET/APAN-CN, in parallel with the discussion with & in USA.
