Recap: international connectivity for
the Internet2 community
• International partners’ networks let the
Internet2 user community reach the
world
• I count 87 networks reachable!
• Research and education networking
organizations outside the US fund and
operate many of the links the US relies
upon
US National Science Foundation IRNC
program
• NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructure program
• “to provide network connections linking U.S.
Research networks with peer networks in other
parts of the world”
• Projects:
•
•
•
•
•
TransPAC2 (U.S. – Japan and beyond)
GLORIAD, (U.S. – China – Russia – Korea)
Translight/PacificWave (U.S. – Australia)
TransLight/StarLight, (U.S. – Europe)
WHREN/LILA (U.S. – Latin America)
Other links
• Internet2 “HOPI” link from NYC – London
• Initially to support experimentation with GEANT2 on
dedicated circuit services
• IEEAF-provided links
• Donated by Tyco Telecom (now VSNL International)
• Within North America – over the borders: via
state/regional networks (Texas, New York, Michigan,
etc.)
• Beyond the Atlantic, Pacific and Americas
• APAN links, TEIN2 network, EUMEDCONNECT around
Mediterranean, AARNET link to Singapore, etc.
Connecting in the US
• US-based international exchange points
• Provide “coastal” access points
• Provide ability to interconnect and peer with
multiple networks
• North-American networks
• Other networks from other parts of the world
• US is no longer center of the Internet (or R&E
network) world!
• But several networks exist here and many from around
the world find it a convenient place to meet
Major US-based international
exchange points
• StarLight
• Chicago: Northwestern U. campus
• Pacific Wave
• No longer just a “point” but multiple points interconnected
• Seattle, Sunnyvale, 3 locations in Los Angeles
• AMPATH
• Miami: NAP of the Americas
• AtlanticWave
• Also not a “point” but provides interconnection between multiple
XPs
• AMPATH, SOX (Atlanta), NGIX-East, MAN LAN
• NGIX-East
• University of Maryland, College Park (near Washington, DC)
• MAN LAN
• New York City: NYSERNET colo space: 32 Ave. of the Americas,
Manhattan
International Transit Network
• Started with StarLight, CA*net and
Internet2 way back when…..fall 2000
• Internet2/Abilene has provided
• Non-US to non-US transit (all or none)
• Non-US to US Gov’t research networks on
request
• No change: will continue with new
Internet2 layer 3 service

Services
• Over-provisioned IP network: IPv4 and IPv6, multicast
• Opt-in commodity peering
• Circuit-based services
• Static Services - Configured by our NOC
• Ethernet or SONET Framed Lambda - Directly on the Infinera
wave equipment through client interface
– Connections can be through a dense set of locations across the US
• SONET Circuits through the Ciena equipment
• Ethernet Framed tagged or untagged circuits under SONET via
GFP
• Dynamic Circuit Service
• Create Circuits in seconds for periods of hours to days
• Only through the Ciena equipment at the start, eventually
evolving to the full platform
• “Off-net” Waves: available via WaveCo to reach sites
off the Internet2 Network footprint
New services and international
connectivity

Dynamic Circuit Services in Internet2
• Intra domain work
• HOPI
• The Ciena Network
• Eventually, the Infinera Platform
• Inter domain work
• Collaborations with other networks
• Following and participating in standards
bodies

Intra Domain work
• Challenges
• Multi-vendor environment
• Multi-layer environment
• Current Development
• Concentrating on the Ciena and HOPI platforms,
each on a single wave on the Internet2 DWDM
Platform
• HOPI has been in place for several years,
and functions as a test-bed
• The Ciena network is to provided persistent
services to applications
• For example, the LHC project
Ciena Control Plane Work
• What is the best way to control the Inter
domain network
• Implementation should support a large
number of platforms, eventually
• Evolving to a UNI-2.0 interface at this time
• It is currently a TL-1 interface
• Thoughts about using proprietary interfaces have
been thoroughly discussed
• Software platform should be extensible and
vendor independent
• Tremendous support from Ciena on all
aspects of this project
Intra Domain Development
• Primary collaboration is with the DICE group - Dante
(GEANT2), Internet2, CANARIE, and Esnet
• Working closely with ESnet on interfacing BRUW and HOPI involves AAA work
• Reporting back progress to the GLIF and other
organizations
• For example, Phosphorus, in coordination with the SURFnet
and University of Amsterdam participants
• Also having discussions with JGN2
• Coordinating with OGF on various schema - topology,
path computation, signaling
• Working with the appropriate standards bodies - ITU,
IETF, and OIF

Peering and Transit
Innovating the commodity Internet
Steve Wallace
<[email protected]>
Internet2’s Internet Connection
• AUP has always permitted transit of advanced
services (e.g. IPv6 and IP Multicast) between
Internet2 and the commodity Internet
• Since 2000 Internet2 has maintained a
connection to the MIX (Multicast Internet
Exchange) at NASA Ames, for the purpose of
IPv4 Multicast peering with commercial ISPs
• In addition, Internet2 has purchased modest
IPv6 transit capacity from Global Crossing via
PAIX Palo Alto
Expanded Internet Connectivity
• Upgraded PAIX Palo Alto from a 300Mb/s,
to 10GE
• Connected to Equinix Chicago at 10GE
• Connecting to Seattle Internet Exchange
at 1GE
• Planning for Equinix Ashburn
• Planning additional opportunistic private
peerings
Benefit to R&E Community
• Platform to directly connect to content providers
and traditional ISPs via IPv6 and IP Multicast
• Enabling advanced delivery of content
• Promoting adoption of IPv6 in the US (currently
lagging behind Europe and Asia)
• Position Internet2 members and connectors as
leaders in the delivery of advanced content
• Commercial IPv6 and IP Multicast connectivity
will flow directly over the R&E network service,
not the peering service.
Benefit to R&E Community
• IPv4 Settlement-Free Peering Service (aka
commercial peering service)
• Net neutral connection between content providers
and ISPs and Internet2 members
• Cost effective access to commodity Internet
• 30% commodity savings with today’s Beta with potential to
grow to over 50% as the service matures
• Network researchers gaining access to routing
infrastructure carrying large and dynamic routing
tables (current service has over 50,000 routes,
compared to Abilene’s normal 8,000)
No changes for International Partners
• Service implemented via MPLS VPN, uses
separate VRF
• No change in BGP peering with
International Partners
• No change in the International Transit
Network service
• Would like to share experience with others
