What is Canal. AVIST? l Within ASEAN framework, Canal. AVIST is a part of. . l ASEAN Virtual Institute for Science & Technology (AVIST) l ASEAN Science and Technology Research and Education Network Alliance (ASTRENA) “Providing channels for seamless education, teaching, training, conferencing, lectures, and talks through ASEAN countries for ASEAN researchers and students. ”

Mission: “Coming together to share learning, experiences and resources to develop our people” Objectives: To provide rapid dissemination and sustainable sharing of knowledge, information, data and skills in the context of ASEAN countries for: - Life Long e-Learning (AVIST) Channels of Events Cumulative Repository of Recorded Learning Materials

Why Canal. AVIST? l AVIST l TEIN 2 l Technology and community experiences

TEIN 2 network infrastructure Before TEIN 2. . l APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) l l Transpac Link between Asia and USA Other Links: SG-US (Internet 2), JP-PH (Agriculture) § AI 3 satellite testbed www. ai 3. net § Two-way: JP, ID, MY, PH, SG, TH, VN § Unidirectional: KH, LA, MM

Trans Eurasia Information Network 1 st link: Korea- France 2001 (2 Mbps)

From TEIN 1 to TEIN 2 l l Intra-Asia regional network Asia-Europe inter-regional links 10 million Euros European Commission funding + funding by Asian partner countries TEIN 2 programme aims to: l l build and operate a regional network promote network usage through catalysing applications train technical staff in developing countries reduce the digital divide

TEIN 2 is part of the regional (APAN) network fabric l l l Launched at Halong Bay in June 2006 Provides short paths to Europe (going west) Provides short paths WITHIN the APAN region (instead of transit via US or Japan) Capacity ranges from 45 Mbps to 2. 5 Gbps Complements the multi-Gigabit networks from Japan and Korea to the US Catalysed new NRENS in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam

10 Gbps EU 2. 5 Gbps EU 3 x STM 4 Access capacities 45 – 622 Mbps NA TEIN 2 network started Jan 2006, now connects: • 30 million researchers and students • 4000 institutions • 10 countries Po. Ps in Singapore, HK and Beijing; NOC in HK Funded to Sept 2008, then……

AREN) Thailand (Thai. REN) Vietnam (Vina. REN) France (RENATER) Netherlands (SURFnet) UK (UKERNA) DANTE Also supported by: TRANSPAC 2 Juniper Networks

…TEIN 3 Network project! l l l European Commission has approved funding to end 2011 Extend to South Asia Further support for application development Transfer TEIN 3 programme to Asian ownership Plan for ‘TEIN 4’ Vietnam the first country to submit a Letter of Intent to participate in TEIN 3

Timezones and Populations TEIN 2: Member countries represent 1/3 of the world’s population in a timezone range spanning only 3 hours TEIN 3 Potential member countries represent almost 60% of the world’s population in a timezone range spanning only 5 hours Small timezone range is critical for interactive collaboration

TEIN 3 Network Topology l l To be determined from the tender results (not predefined) Current TEIN 2 hub locations to be reviewed Europe-Asia links going West from Asia, likely to be 622 Mbps, 2. 5 or 10 Gbps Intra-Asia links likely to be in range 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps depending on partner needs, affordability by project and partner, and topology requirements (cost for some countries still currently very high)
