Topology Working Group Charter revision in process –www. internet 2. edu/topology Membership is open to Internet 2 members and Mo. U partners with the consent of the chair • • Paul Love epl@internet 2. edu

Interconnections Points of interconnection • Domestic • International Technology of interconnection • ATM (STAR TAP, existing NGIXes, NYC) • Gig. E (P/NW GP) • POS (NYC) • Optical

Resource Accessibility The WG is adding the goal to identify specific resources needed by members of Internet 2. These resources may be either domestic or international. Examples are • Specialized laboratories • Historic data • Observatories • Etc

Conclusion The Topology WG is redefining itself New members will be welcome if they have an interest Open to staff of Internet 2 members, Mo. U partners, and US NGI agencies
