multicast · not all Giga. POPs multicast capable · not all institutions multicast capable · many R&E based collaborative research projects use multicast routing for efficient delivery of data · e. g. int'l collaborative computer science research project SWORD involving researchers at the University of Wisconsin, University of Saskatchewan, and University of Washington

IPv 6 · not all Giga. POPs IPv 6 capable · not all institutions IPv 6 capable · many R&E based collaborative research projects may want to use IPv 6

TCP throughput · between PNW Giga. POP and C 3 NOC · using NLANR iperf tool (http: //dast. nlanr. net/Projects/Iperf/) · tests performed between 05: 00 and 07: 30 on March 2, 3, and 6 · Bw bottleneck is ARDNOC local loop 50 Mbps ATM · 3 different routes tested · symetric routing through Seattle · asymetric routing New York / Seattle · symetric routing through New York

TCP throughput

high performance connectivity and e 2 e support · throughput, not Bandwidth - I 2 e 2 e perf initiative timely and essential · not just IPv 4 unicast · for e 2 e high performance connectivity (capacity, multicast, IPv 6, e 2 e performance) need e 2 e support and e 2 e communication and coordination · need up-to-date lists / tables of state of Giga. POP and institutional high performance connectivity and points of contact · a NOC high performance connectivity Bo. F at next NLANR/I 2 joint techs?
