Fundamental Questions
What does Internet2 community (and the rest of the world) require from the Internet and its applications?
What should the Internet2 community do to address those requirements?
What specific steps should we take to move forward?
11
Strategic Foci
Address the advanced networking needs and interests of the research & education community
Implement a systems approach towards a scalable advanced networking infrastructure
Provide leadership in the evolution of the InternetLeverage strategic relationships among academia,
industry and government• Engage the Federal Cyberinfrastructure Initiative
Catalyze activities that cannot be accomplished by individual organizations
• International connections
Focus on financially feasible, affordable, and deployable technologies and solutions
12
Internet2 2004 Emphasis
Advanced Network Infrastructure
End to End Performance
Middleware
Security
International Connections
Applications
13
Internet2 Network Infrastructure
Abilene backbone operates at 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity todayGigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation pointsLocal campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktopNational LambdaRail (NLR) will provide access to multiple wavelengths on dedicated national fiber facilityFiberco provides dark fiber nationwideHybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI)
14
Abilene Upgrade – Completed!
16
End-to-End Performance:The Wizard Gap
Wizard Gap(ratio has gone from 3:1 to 300:1 in last decade)
17
Middlewarehttp://middleware.internet2.edu/
A layer of software between the network and the applications
• Authentication• Identification• Authorization• Directories• Security
18
Federated Authentication
Scalable, decentralized infrastructureCritical to a broad range of initiativesBeing adopted and implemented
• Industry• International
Middleware is an increasingly enabling element
Examples: Shibboleth, InCommon Federation
Part of the NSF Middleware Initiative
19
Security
Higher Ed Security Improvement Program
• Internet2/Educause staff working group• Liaison with federal HSD• REN ISAC at IU• HE chapter for National Strategy Document• Best practices dissemination & training• R&D on security in hybrid environments
Focus on security and Internet architecture
20
Security
Require network security approaches that:• Minimally compromise network performance and allow
applications requiring advanced network services to function• Sustain, in so far as possible, the end-to-end nature of the
Internet architecture
Network security, host software, and middleware become inter-dependent
• Security at Line Speed (SALSA) steering group
• Additional staff on assignment from university and corporate members
Engage NSF CyberTrust program
21
International Connections
Now multiple NSF agreements • Different regions of the world• Different types of connectivity & research
Also various uncoordinated donated infrastructure
Our international partners could work more effectively if they had a coordinated point of contact
Working with our members to prepare a coordinated proposal
22
Applications: Production Infrastructure
Internet2 CommonsInCommon/InQueue middleware federation support
PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) with DartmouthAbileneVoice and Integrated Communications Initiative (VICI)
End-to-End Performance systemsMove maturing applications to production status in order to promote the large-scale adoption of common applications
23
Applications: Extend Work with Discipline Communities
Collaborate with discipline communities and organizations, and address the unique needs of research communities
Support strategic demonstrations that demonstrate the value of advanced networking and member collaborations
Scout for and engage innovative applications to maintain openness to innovation
Help campus CEOs, VPRs and CIOs with their opportunities and responsibilities
Engage in multi-level bi-directional relations with federal agencies
24
The Future
Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) with NLR
• Understanding and implementing the connectivity architecture of the future
Integrated Middleware & Security
End-to-End Performance
Internet Architecture Assessment• Strategic response to the challenges facing the Internet• Joint effort starting with MIT and expanding
