US International Connectivity
• Links between the US and other countries
funded through various sources
• Outside the US: many of our partners procure and
operate links from their country to the US
• US-funded:
• US NSF provides funding through IRNC (was HPIIS)
program for some links
• DOE provides some funding for CERN-procured and
operated links to US
• Internet2 funds used for some connectivity
• Donations: IEEAF has made donations from Tyco
Telecom available to the R&E networking

Transit via peer networks
GEANT – pan-European network
•GEANT2 backbone interconnects European National RENs
• European-funded connectivity to other regions than Europe
•SEEREN (southeastern Europe)
•ALICE (Latin America)
•TEIN2 (Southeast Asia)
• EUMEDCONNECT
(Mediterranean)
• Trans-Atlantic
connectivity
[US- Europe]
• Multiple links
NRENs in general
• The NREN concept continues to be popular; New NRENs
in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Mediterranean, Middle
East – Pakistan, New Zealand, Jordan
• Typically one per country
• Connects universities
• Sometime also connects government research labs
• Other education institutions
• Not-for-profit model or government/ministry-based
• Continuum from commercial access, to reliable-leadingedge (production) to experimental to network research
facilitating networks
• But most efforts focused on high-performance, leading-edge needs
of high-end science (e.g., UK e-Science, US CyberInfrastructure)
and high-end research, education, clinical needs
TERENA Compendium
• Revised & Published Annually
• Current edition

Supporting global science
communities
• Research increasingly involves global
resources, collaborators, data, scientific
instruments.
• Scientific instruments with specific geo-location needs
(e.g., optical and radio telescopes)
• Unique instruments: impractical or unfeasible for each
country to “afford” for its own (e.g., Large Hadron
Collider at CERN in Geneva, electron microscope in
Japan)
• Access / collection of geo-specific data and getting it
back for analysis, visualization, sharing, prevention
• Environmental, Atmospheric/Oceanographic Studies

Not just science….
Trends in R&E networks outside
the US
• Asset ownership
• Hybrid services
• Outreach to and support for grid and
other specific user communities
• Building performance measurement and
monitoring infrastructure
• National trust federations based on
Shibboleth
Asset Ownership
• Owning or longterm leasing all
layers of network
• Poland: PIONIER
built along with
railroad
• Austria, Czech
Republic, Poland,
Slovakia connecting
cross border with
own fiber

Hybrid Services
• Mix of
• “traditional” best-effort, packet-based IP service
• Dedicated “circuits”
• Peel data-intensive, relatively static traffic off
the shared packet-based infrastructure
• Leveraging ability to provision multiple
wavelengths on ‘owned’ infrastructure
• Do it dynamically?
• between packet and circuit services as available,
desired by application
• for specific time periods
Connect. Communicate. Collaborate
GÉANT2
Topology
Outreach to specific user
communities
• European Commission funding focused on funding
‘grids’ that leverage the research and education
network infrastructure
• Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid (LCG)
• Tier 0(CERN) to Tier 1 and Tier 2 sites
• European eVLBI network (EVN)
• Last mile issues in remote locations
• Both will likely leverage GEANT2 point to point
services
• Implies point to point services available in NRENs
connected to GEANT2 serving LCG or eVLBI centers

Performance Measurement and
Monitoring Infrastructure
• Internet2 piPEs effort
• Architecture
• Deployment across Abilene
• Increasingly across Abilene-connected networks
• Hands-on workshop series
• GEANT2 research effort in same space
• Collaborated to create joint perfSONAR
architecture/infrastructure
• RNP (Brazil) and CLARA (Latin America)
looking to deploy
National authentication and
authorization infrastructures
• Many European countries, Australia
• National Trust Federations
• Supporting inter-institutional authentication
and authorization
• Adoption of Shibboleth as architecture
• Shibboleth code as basis for federating
institutional identity management systems
• Shib-based federations in Switzerland,
Finland with planned implementations in
UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway

Implications for next generation
national* network infrastructure
• Aggregation to national backbone
• More in states where traditionally had multiple Abilene
connectors?
• Less in areas where state-based networks are emerging,
e.g. Great Plains?
• Interconnection between adjacent state/regional
networks
• Complex at layer 3 but probably doable
• Layer 1 and 2 services?
• Still a hierarchy?
• Cross multiple domains
*where national isn’t just the “backbone” but entire set
of networks (campus to state to regional to national)
Next Generation Architecture
Connector Interface
The interface to the
backbone:
• Two or more client
interfaces between
optical interconnects
• Analogous to router-torouter connections
today
• Requirements:
• Support connectivity to
IP Network
• Support multiple sub
channels through
backbone to other
RONs
Organization, Governance
Issues
• S/RON role in national R&E community
• Internet2
• No specific home for s/regional networks
• ~ dozen are Internet2 Affiliate members
• Key role as Abilene connectors
• Multi-hatted people on Advisory Councils, Abilene
TAC, etc.
• QUILT administrative home
• Even without Internet2, NLR consolidation
discussions, more explicit role for s/regional
networks
• NLR partner model
Sustainable RONs
• What types of organizational, technical,
financial support?
• FiberCo services
• Quilt Fiber Workshops
• What about areas without RONs?
• How should a national organization
help?
LEARN in the world
• International cross-border fiber
