CA*net 3 International Transit Network (ITN) Service Internet 2 International Task Force Meeting Oct 29, Atlanta, Georgia rene. hatem@canarie. ca tel: +1. 613. 781. 0662 http: //www. canet 3. net/ http: //www. canarie. ca/

Background · the richer the connections, the greater the possibilities and for all · collaborative effort between STAR TAP, Abilene, and CA*net 3 · to facilitate the extension of the benefits of interconnectivity of the world's National Research and Education Networks (NRNs)

Who · ITN Providers are: · STAR TAP (AS 10764) · Abilene (AS 11537) · CA*net 3 (AS 6509) · who can benefit: any international NRN peering with at least one ITN Provider

CA*net 3 basic ITN policy · will transit traffic between any two ITN participating international peers · provided there is enough capacity · will not transit to commercial networks · MOU not required

CA*net 3 Int'l connectivity · today · · Seattle (Westin building) Gigabit Ethernet 1 Gbps Chicago (Ameritech STAR TAP) OC-3 New York (111 - 8 e Ave) OC-3 New York (Teleglobe 60 Hudson) up to OC-3 · future · Chicago (optical STAR TAP) Gig. E / 10 Gig. E in Q 3 -01 · Halifax (360 Networks/Dal. U) OC-3 in Q 2 -01

CA*net 3 ITN service reach

CA*net 3 ITN implementation · how to implement with international NRN peers · how to coordinate with other ITN Providers

CA*net 3 ITN implementation: NRN peers · · · CA*net 3 offers ITN Service to peers a "yes" or an absence of response = yes "no" routes tagged with community 2500 "yes" routes tagged with community 2501 "yes" + MOU w/ Abilene, also tagged 2502

CA*net 3 ITN implementation: other ITN Providers · STAR TAP routes tagged 2501 and CA*net 3 2501 routes passed on · CA*net 3 NOC verifies if new peer has MOU w/ Abilene. If so routes tagged 2502 and CA*net 3 2502 routes passed on only

CANARIE's 6 th Advanced Networks Workshop "The Networked Nation" November 28 and 29, 2000 Palais des Congrès Montreal, Quebec - Canada · "The Networked Nation", will focus on application architectures ("grids") made up of customer owned dark fiber and next generation Internet networks like CA*net 3 that will ultimately lead to the development of the networked nation where eventually every school, home and business will have high bandwidth connection to the Internet. · Three tracks: · Customer owned dark fiber for schools, hospitals, businesses and homes. · Next generation optical Internet architectures that will be a natural and seamless extension of the customer owned dark fiber networks being built for schools, homes and businesses. · "application grids", which are a seamless integration of dark fiber and optical networks to support specific collaborative research and education applications. · http: //www. canarie. ca/
