APPLICATIONS Attributes of Advanced Apps • Provide qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning • Common attributes: • Remote instrumentation and interactive collaboration • Distributed data storage and data mining • Large-scale, multi-site computation • Real-time access to remote resources • Dynamic data visualization • Shared virtual reality 4 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

APPLICATIONS: HDTV Raw HDTV Stream • Packetized raw HDTV (1. 5 Gbps) • SC 2001 public demo • DARPA PIs Meeting: SEA->DC area 1/6/02 • Application level measurement • 3 billion packets transmitted • 0 packets lost, 15 resequencing episodes • e 2 e network performance • Loss: <8 x 10 -10 (90% confidence level) • Reordering: 5 x 10 – 9 • Transcontinental 1 -Gbps TCP (std 1. 5 k. B MTU) requires loss at the level of 3 x 10 – 8 or lower 5 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

APPLICATIONS: GRIDs HENP and NEESgrid • High Energy and Nuclear Physics • Transferring petabytes of data a year, gigabytes per second per experiment • Cascading data storage model, nearzero packet loss per data stream, distributed database for end-user data manipulation • VRVS collaboration system supports multiple video formats and technologies • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation • Running hybrid experiments synchronizing physical and computational experiments • Synchronizing large volumes of data of different types: sensor, video, etc. 6 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

ABILENE Networking Activity • Internet 2 networking is a fundamentally hierarchical and collaborative activity • International networking • Ad hoc -> Global Terabit Research Network (GTRN) • National backbones • Regional networks • Giga. Po. Ps • Campus networks • Much activity now at the metropolitan and regional scales 14 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

ABILENE Future of Abilene • Qwest has extended commitment for another 5 years – to October 2006 • Upgrade of Abilene backbone to optical transport capability • 4 times increase in core bandwidth, to 10 gigabits/second (OC 192) • New wavelength capabilities (MWDM) 15 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

ABILENE Next Generation Abilene • Native IPv 6 • Motivations • Resolving IPv 4 address exhaustion issues • International collaboration • Run natively - concurrent with IPv 4 • Replicate multicast deployment strategy • Close collaboration with Internet 2 IPv 6 Working Group on regional and campus v 6 rollout 16 • Network resiliency • Increasing use of videoconferencing & Vo. IP impose tighter restoration requirements (<100 ms) • Abilene ’s will not be protected like SONET • Addition of new measurement capabilities • Active & passive probing • Surveyor, Abilene “Observatories, ” Performance beacons • Latency & jitter, loss, TCP throughput Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002

CONCLUSION Where to go from here… • Working Group or BOF meeting • Identify tasks, activities and goals pertinent to the community • Select an already established meeting at which to hold a BOF meeting • Determine individuals who are willing to lead a working group • Identify a schedule against which activities can be measure (don’t let the inertia stop) 17 Internet 2 Applications Update April 2002
