11 April 2000 Designing a New Networking Environment for U.S. Research Education Steve Corbató Director, Backbone Network Infrastructure National Internet2 Day 18 March 2004 Context Drivers of change The contrarian opportunity of the telecom economy crash Grid computing: the network as a schedulable element NSF Cyberinfrastructure vision Key questions Buy vs. build Packets vs. circuits (or both?) Persistence of network hierarchy Campus Regional National International Outline National packet (IP) networking Abilene Network New optical networking facilities Regional projects FiberCo example National initiative National LambdaRail (NLR) Developing a hybrid architecture Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) Abilene Network – second generation Abilene International Peering Abilene Focus Areas - 2004 Support of high-throughput flows (multi-Gbps) Collaboration with Internet2 End-to-End Performance Initiative Ensuring that large flows are the standard across the Internet2 Infrastructure IPv6 Furthering its deployment throughout the Internet2 networking environment Abilene Observatory Security Network resiliency Abilene Observatory A project designed to support the computer science network research and advanced engineering communities Two components In situ experimentation Access to comprehensive set of network performance data Hosted Projects PlanetLab (Berkeley/Princeton/Intel Research/NSF) AMP Project (SDSC/NSF) Access to Network Performance data Objective is to maintain time-correlated data archive Multiple time-corrected data views – traffic flows, passive measurements, routing data, SNMP and syslog data /observatory/ Optical Networking Development Underlying hypothesis The fundamental nature of regional networking is changing The GigaPoP model based on provisioned, high-capacity services steadily is being replaced – on the metro and regional scales A model of facility-based networking built with owned assets – Regional Optical Networks (RONs) – ha
