Current Priorities Establish backbone connectivity Facilitate middleware implementation Support network research Identify and develop first phase applications Build international collaboration opportunities US Federal Government: Next Generation Internet (NGI) Program http://www.ngi.gov Established in parallel with Internet2 multi-agency research and development (R&D) program to develop, test, and demonstrate advanced networking technologies and applications via testbeds that are 100 to 1,000 times faster end-to-end than today's Internet Internet2 <--> NGI Relationship Similar technical objectives Focused on different, but complementary communities • NGI: Federal Mission agencies • UCAID/Internet2: university research and education community Working to interconnect, make interoperable federal research networks and Abilene Internet2 <--> NGI Relationship cont’d Cooperative programs: • NSF High Performance Connections grants: UCAID universities using to connect to achieve Internet2 connectivity • Abilene <-> Energy, NASA network interconnection: being planned to provide high performance access for universities to research labs • Applications: researchers benefit from numerous federal grants that help develop applications Internet2 International Collaborations Building peer to peer relationships Looking for similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding Signed: CANARIE, Stichting SURF, NORDUnet In process: TERENA, SingAREN, JAIRC, APAN and others What kind of collaborations? Network interconnection • Abilene and CA*net2, SURFnet, NORDUnet, etc. Specific project collaboration • QBone • middleware • research/learning applications Technology transfer • mutual industrial participants? Information exchange International task force • to advise our Board, management on issues of international collaborations Greater participation in international groups • CCIRN • GIBN More Information Internet2 • www.internet2.edu Abilene • www.internet2.edu/abilene UCAID • www.ucaid.edu
