• Future Challenges
Middleware
• Shibboleth 2.0 should be out within a month
• Completes the Shib/SAML Integration
• InCommon continues to grow
• New investigations on federation peering - now 1520 international federations
• COManage work continues
• Leverages federated identity and the attribute ecosystem
• Shib-enabled; uses Grouper to manage groups, Signet to
manage privileges, Eddy for diagnostics
• Open and proprietary applications can be plumbed to work
with it
• See some of the detailed talks on Middleware
Security
• Much of the activity will be moving toward the
campus level
• Support for and collaboration with the REN-ISAC
• Incident handling
• SALSA working groups
• Disaster Recovery
• CSI-2 (Interoperable security incident reporting)
• Federated wireless access
• Grants to investigate security efforts
• Integration of identity management and security efforts
(CAMP in next few weeks - full)
Network Research Support
• Observatory data usage continues to grow
• Investigating data needs at lower layers
• Continue work on grants like Ultralight, DoE, and
100x100
• Deploying a small experimental network using netFPGA
cards for the 100x100 project
• Investigating use of new (old?) ideas like Phoebus
• Investigating international connections and how to
measure
• Support for recent GENI solicitation
Performance
• End-to-End performance monitoring
• Primary component under development is
PerfSONAR
• What is perfSONAR?
• A set of protocols and schemas for implementing a serviceoriented architecture for sharing and controlling network
performance tools
• A community of users and developers (Internet2, ESnet,
GEANT2, and RNP)
• A set of software (the sample implementation)
• Java release v2.1 available
• perfSONAR-PS beta released this week
• Encourage deployment at all levels - campus,
regional, national, and international
Dynamic Circuit Network
• Designed using the work done through the HOPI
(Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure) project
(more on that later).
• Currently uses the Ciena infrastructure
• To be extended to the full infrastructure as more is
developed.
• The DCN software suite now available - current
version 0.2
• Developed by Internet2, ESnet, and DANTE through
the DICE collaboration
• Encourage participation of a wider group of developers - contact
Internet2 if there is interest
The Internet2 Network
• Designed with the following in mind:
• The R&E community runs applications with very
demanding needs, from high bandwidth to quality
of service
• Demand for control at lower layers of the the
network stack
• Interest in Hybrid Networking - using networks
at different layers in innovative ways
• How can one augment layer3 networks with layer1
capabilities
The HOPI Testbed
• Understanding these capabilities lead to the HOPI
project
• HOPI is now being decommissioned, although several
segments continue to exist
• Successful project that lead to DCN
• Many thanks to the HOPI partners, including
• Force10, Glimmerglass, and HP
• The TSC (testbed support center) including IU, NCREN, and
MAX
• Some support for DCN continues from these groups
• Special thanks to the NSF and the DRAGON project
Internet2 IDEA Awards
• For advanced applications with:
• Positive impact
• Technical merit
• Potential for further adoption
• IP and (new) static wave categories
• Winners receive recognition and
(for static wave category) 10 Gbps
circuit on Internet2 Network
• Submit by 28 January 2008
• Additional information available at the
information table

The Internet2 Network Design Goals
• Multiple layers…Multiple domains…One
infrastructure, flexibility at all layers
•
•
•
•
IP services
Static Wave services
Dynamic Wave services
Commercial Peering services
• Carrier-class reliability / Massively scalable /
Flexible
• Enable both production services and also
experimental services
• Continue technical innovation & vision in the
global Research and Education community
The Internet2 Network Architecture Summary
• Initially provisioned with ten 10-Gbps wavelengths (100
Gbps) with all 10 dropping at each core optical node
• Unlimited capacity: Can grow beyond 40 wavelengths on
additional fibers with linear costs
• Community Controlled: Complete access to the entire
system - IU NOC now controls all layers in the network
• Reliable: Level(3) provided service level agreements on
waves
• Scalability: Potential for 40 & 100 Gbps support
• SC 06 and SC 07 demos of 40 and 100 Gbps
• Rapid/Flexible: Reprovisioned (10GE to OC-192) and
tested 10 λ’s between NYC-DC-Chicago (~1000 miles) in
31 minutes!
Internet2 Infrastructure
Wave Infrastructure - ESnet and Internet2
• The Internet2 Hybrid Network
• The Internet2 IP network
• The Internet2 circuit infrastructure, dynamic in nature
• The ESnet Hybrid Network
• The ESnet IP network
• The ESnet SDN circuit (dynamic) network
• The wave infrastructure can support multiple
networks
• Internet2 has complete control of the wave infrastructure
• It can support both highly experimental and production
quality
• The Internet2 Network as follows:
Internet2 Network
Partners
Services
• Hybrid Network
• IP Network
• Research Traffic similar to the past
• Commodity Peering Services
• Dynamic Circuit (DC) Network
• Waveco
• Static Waves (SONET or Ethernet) on the
Infinera Platform
• Static Circuits (SONET or Ethernet) on the Ciena
Platform
• Fiberco
• Dark fiber (and ancillary services); professional
services
Static Circuit Services
• Physical Connections:

leader with respect to IPv6 connectivity
• Working with commodity providers to enable
new IP multicast applications
• Insure net neutral paths between R&E
community and commodity-hosted content,
services, and users.

Challenge is innovative use of the
Technology
Phoebus
• Phoebus - TCP data flows
• File transfers over long distance segments
not requiring congestion control
• Lead by Martin Swany at the University of
Delaware
Challenges
• These are great times in the networking world
• New and innovative ideas for networking abound!
• A Challenge to you:
• Given the technologies being developed by the
community, from middleware to perfSONAR to
DCN, what are innovative ways to use those
technologies?
• Given new technologies coming in Ethernet and
G.709, what networking directions should our
community take over the next few years?
• The new Internet2 governance puts the
direction in the hands of the community!
