History
• With the end of NSFnet and beginning of privatization,
the ability to support large science applications was
limited on the commodity network
• The vBNS days brought much better connectivity,
especially to super computer centers
• NSF connections program was of great benefit to the
community
• Initial meetings of what was to become Internet2 in
1996
• There was a clear need to support the university research
community
• The Internet, even for “small” applications was not as robust
as it is today
• The university networking needs for science are not met
today by the commodity Internet and likely will not be met in
the near future.
The Internet2 Network Abilene
• First Internet2 network began in mid 1998 with first
backbone (Abilene) at 2.5 Gbps (OC-48 SONET
backbone)
• Partnership with Qwest, Cisco, and Nortel
• NSF connections program played a crucial role in this period
• Backbone upgrade to 10 Gbps started in 2001 and
completed in early 2003
• Juniper became a partner at that time.
• Supported advanced services like IPv6 and Multicast
• Focus on performance and reliability primarily for e-Science
applications

Internet2 Connectors and Peers
• Connectors
• 35 direct connections (OC-3c  10 Gbps)
• 246 Primary Participants – research universities and labs
• Cost recovery model
• Regional to National
• Campus to National and Regional
• Campuses and Regionals typically also connect to the commodity
network
• Connections are Transparent - Many users don’t know they use
Internet2
• Peerings
• Connections through exchange points
• 48 International agreements and 80+ International networks
reachable through Abilene
• Abilene supports transit for International peers
• Peerings with other Federal Research and education networks in the
US

The Applications Area is part of the
Community side of Internet2
• Program managers are one channel
through which research disciplines can
interact with Internet2 and the broader
Internet2 community
• Disciplines that do not normally interact
can share experiences and solutions to
cyberinfrastructure problems
• Joint projects can be created to
accomplish more than one discipline can
do by itself
Application Communities
• One way to organize is by their
stage of CI development:
•
•
•
•
•
Mature-Helping Develop CI
Using CI
Implementing
Planning
Thinking about it
• Those with more experience
teach those with less
High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP)
• Physics has traditionally been one
of the “power users” of all networks
• Physicists are generating
Terabytes of data
(1,000,000,000,000 or 1x1012) per
experiment from the CERN lab in
Switzerland
• Types of network usage:
As a mature community,
• Bulk data transfers that are extremely
resistant to data loss.
• VRVS expects multicast and lowlatency/jitter networks for effective
video conferencing
we learn as much from the
HENP community as they
do from us (it could be
argued that we are the
students).
Network for Earthquake
Engineering Simulation
• NEES has multiple labs at
various geographical
locations
• NEES has it’s own IT
organization, NEESit, that
provides support for the
community
• Internet2 works with NEESit
and the NEES headquarters
Electronic Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (eVLBI)
• Astronomers collect data about a
star from many different earth
based antennae and send the data
to a specialized computer for
analysis on a 24x7 basis.
• eVLBI is not as concerned with
data loss as they are with long term
stability.
• The end goal is to send data at
1Gb/s from over 20 antennae that
are located around the globe.
Internet2 works closely
with the eVLBI
researchers and assists
where we can. We are the
teachers, but probably not
for long.
NEON and Earthscope
• Both NSF sponsored programs are in
the implementation stages
• Their research goals and science
plans are fairly well understood.
• Using CI and advanced networks to
connect researchers, data and sensors
is assumed.
• The specific ways in which advanced
networking will be integrated into their
project still needs to be investigated
As newer groups to the Internet2 community,
Program Managers help identifying areas in
which advanced networking experience of
others can be used to ease their efforts
Sensor Networks
• NEON and EarthScope are just two of many sensor network
projects. Many of these projects are in the early planning stages
and can benefit from sharing experiences.
• They will need all the CI resources
AND
• Many will want to connect instrumentation at remote sites that
lack any network connectivity
• There is a need for national wireless coverage for sensor
networks (connecting the last square kilometer)
Oceanography
The Ocean Research
Interactive Observatory
Networks (ORION) is a
program that focuses the
science, technology,
education and outreach of
an emerging network of
science driven ocean
observing systems
As a planning community,
we help them learn from
the experiences of others.
We also observe their
planning process so
others may benefit.
Security
• Spiderman’s Uncle said, “with
great power comes great
responsibility.” Security is a intercommunity, cross-application
concern.
• Cutting edge applications are
often indistinguishable from
security breaches.
• Implementing systems to support
advanced applications while
addressing security is a
requirement for all future
applications.
The Dynamic Virtual Global Collaboratory
• Collaborating Virtual Organizations will become
increasingly important
• Consider the emerging e-science paradigm…
• Global science
• For example, astrophysics, astronomy, earth sciences, climate
modeling, etc.
• Global shared resources
• Large Hadron Collider, radio telescopes, polar research stations,
computational resources, etc.
• Global collaborating science teams
• E-VLBI, HEP, Genomic Research, etc
• These “affinity groups” combine resources and people
into a globally distributed virtual collaborating
organizations to pursue a common discipline or
objective.
The Coming Challenge
• “Grid applications will incorporate in excess of 100,000 processors
within 5 years.”
• Dr. Larry Smarr, “On Vector” Workshop, UCSD Feb 2006
• “The Global Information Grid will need to store and access
exabytes of data on a real-time basis by 2010”
• Dr. Henry Dardy, Optical Fiber Conference, Los Angeles, CA USA, Mar 2006
• “Each LHC experiment foresees a recorded raw data rate of 1 to
several PetaBytes/year”
• Dr. Harvey Neuman (Cal Tech)
• “US Bancorp backs up 100 TB financial data every night – now.”
• David Grabski (VP Information Tech. US Bancorp), Qwest High Performance
Networking Summit, Denver, CO. USA, June 2006.
• “The VLA facility is now able to generate 700 Gbps of astronomical
data and will reach 3.2 Terabits per second by 2009.”
• Dr. Steven Durand, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, E-VLBI
Workshop, MIT Haystack Observatory., Sep 2006.
The Networking Challenge
• 10,000 processor compute cluster
• 4 Gbyte/processor memory, 1 GigE NIC
• Burst capability = 10 Tbps
• Parallel and distributed clusters are incorporating nodes faster than
Moore’s Law is reducing their size..
• Power requirements for single clusters will be too large to support in a
single location - moved to geographically distributed clusters
• How will they communicate?
• These reflect some fundamental design decisions/assumptions of the
existing (and original) internet architecture that may not be applicable
today, especially for e-Science applications
• The GENI initiative (NSF) hopes to construct a Global Environment for
Network Innovation
• Need to examine new architectures for e-Science applications now
The New Internet2 Network
• Agreement with Qwest for the current Abilene Network
ends in October of 2007
• The new Intenet2 network must be capable of
supporting e-Science applications
• Strategic Objectives
• Ensure community control of the underlying (optical) network
infrastructure
• Leverage the capabilities of a global telecommunications leader
• Providing carrier class reliability and expanded breadth of
services, along with a broad set of partnership options
• Capitalize on the latest technological advancements in networking
• Create an asset that benefits the entire community - researchers,
universities, regional optical networks, industry, government, K-12,
and the international community
Architecture Goals
• Develop an innovative optical system on a national
footprint to serve the broad research and education
community - a hybrid network capable of providing
point-to-point services (circuits) together with an IP
network
• Community should have complete control of the lower
layer optical system including provisioning and
switching of wavelengths
• The system should be capable of supporting network
research in wide variety ways
• Platform support for highly experimental projects to
production services
• Provide capabilities to support e-Science using new
paradigms in networking
New Network Paradigms to Support eScience
• Example: eVLBI
• The ability to
dynamically
create the
necessary
network to
support particular
experiments
The New Internet2 Network
Rick Summerhill
Internet2 ESnet Partnership
• Internet2 and ESnet have formed a partnership to build
their respective networks on this DWDM footprint
• ESnet hybrid network
• An IP network connecting the labs
• An lower layer network for deterministic services - SDN
• Internet2 hybrid network
• An IP network similar to the existing Abilene network
• A layer 1 dynamically provisioned network providing
deterministic services
• Static and Dynamic services will be available to other
partners
The New Internet2 Network - What’s
Different?
• Hybrid IP and Optical System utilizing Level3 fiber
platform; equipment and fiber dedicated to Internet2,
sparing and equipment maintenance by Level3,
including SLA for wave system
• Initially provisioned with ten times the capacity
scalable to much larger
• Dynamic provisioning of circuits and waves across the
network within seconds
• Connections and Peerings through IP and circuits
(lightpaths)!
• The ability to create circuits between between researchers
and facilities such as international radio telescopes and
particle accelerators
• Geographically distributed Instruments appear as on a LAN
rather than use the public network
