Internet2 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.internet2.edu
Internet2 Middleware Initiative
• Internet2 community has unique needs and
capabilities
– Middleware Architecture Committee for
Education
– Early Harvest and Early Adopters
– Internet2 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

Synthetic Worlds
• Otherwise known as massive multiplayer
interactive games
• Over 5 million “inhabitants” today
– Doubling every 18 months
– About 2% of the Internet-connected population
age 14-28 spend more time in the synthetic world
than in the real world
• Linked to the real world
– Physical artifacts like playing cards
– Ebay auctions for “money” and resources
• Real people make real money
Learning and Peer-to-Peer
• The classroom is the same, but learning
is transformed
– Faculty define the objectives, but students
create the learning environment
• Prospects for hybrid media products
– Texts with online extensions?
Tomorrow’s Internet2
Networking and Applications
Hybrid Optical Packet
Infrastructure Initiative (HOPI)

Internet2’s Network - 2007
Deployment
• System uses dedicated fiber footprint from Level3
• Built on Infinera platform providing innovative optical technology
• Hybrid network providing both IP and point-to-point services that
can be rapidly provisioned
• Initially provisioned with ten 10-Gbps wavelengths (100 Gbps)
• Wavelength Scalability – unlimited availability of additional
wavelengths, through additional fiber pairs
• Flexibility: support for dynamic provisioning and wavelength
switching
• Community control at Layer 1
• Supports a diverse set of services including both production and
experimental capabilities
• Will enhance the technical leadership and innovation of the
Internet2 community.

Implications of Internet2’s
Experience for the Internet
• Higher education is a leader in Internet
technology innovation and deployment
• College student experiences drive
commercial demand
• Dark fiber reaching ever-closer to the
end user
• New industries (gaming, home video
creation/sharing) are demand drivers
