Internet 2 Network Environment

Advanced Networking Organizations around the World

Internet 2 Network Infrastructure • Abilene backbone operates at 10 gigabits per second capacity today • Giga. Po. Ps provide regional high-performance aggregation points • Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop • National Lambda. Rail (NLR) provides access to multiple wavelengths on dedicated national fiber facility • Fiber. Co provides dark fiber nationwide

Optical Networking • National Lambda. Rail – www. nlr. net – A fiber infrastructure that supports multiple networks: • for research and development of Internet technologies and protocols www. nlr. net • new applications and services • Fiber. Co – www. fiberco. org – Holding dark fiber assets to assign to other organizations www. fiberco. org • Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure Project HOPI – Experimenting with future network hopi. internet 2. edu technologies, infrastructures, and architectures

End-to-End Performance Initiative Goals and Deployment • Provide performance information to end-users and network operators • Develop new performance test options and tools for network engineers • Make performance data publicly available • Establish an interoperable performance framework

Internet 2 Focus Areas • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Middleware and Security • Advanced Applications

Federated Authentication • Scalable, decentralized infrastructure • Critical to a broad range of initiatives • Being adopted and implemented – Industry – International partners • Middleware is an increasingly enabling element • Examples:

Middleware • A layer of software between the network and the applications – Authentication – Identification – Authorization – Directories – Security middleware. internet 2. edu

Internet 2 Middleware Initiative • Internet 2 community has unique needs and capabilities – Middleware Architecture Committee for Education – Early Harvest and Early Adopters – Internet 2 PKI Labs – Shibboleth (authentication) – Computational middleware (Beta Grid) – Medical middleware – Directories

Security and Stability • Security at Line Speed • Interaction with DHS – REN/ISAC at Indiana University • Partnership with corporate members to monitor and protect network infrastructure • Moving toward an authenticated Internet with trust communities
