Engineering – End to End Technologies • IPv 6 • Measurement • Multicast • Quality of Service • Routing • Security • Topology End to End Performance 9/10/2020

Middleware is the stuff that makes “transparently use” happen, providing persistency, consistency, security, privacy, and capability. 9/10/2020

Attributes of Advanced Apps http: //apps. internet 2. edu/ Provide qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning Common attributes: • Remote instrumentation and interactive collaboration • Distributed data storage and data mining • Large-scale, multi-site computation • Real-time access to remote resources • Dynamic data visualization • Shared virtual reality Physics traditional “power users” of all networks 9/10/2020

Applications Priorities Advance a vision for applications that motivate and, in turn, are enabled by cyberinfrastructure Promote large scale adoption of common applications Address the critical needs of research subcommunities Encourage innovation at the edge (and be attentive to emergent apps) 9/10/2020

HENP: High-Energy Nuclear Physics has traditionally been one of the “power users” of all networks. Physicists are generating Terabytes of data per experiment from CERN They are working on bulk data transfers extremely resistant to data loss. VRVS video conferencing tool was developed by the physics community. Interesting: HENP is working on several protocols that take advantage of parallel streams and good neighbor practices (passive QOS). 9/10/2020

e-VLBI: Very Long Baseline Interferometry Multiple earth-based antennae at dispersed locations collect data Data is analyzed by computers on a 24 x 7 basis The end goal is to combine data at 1 Gbps from each of over 20 antennae around the globe 9/10/2020

Arts & Humanities Unique Performance Events • Dance • Poetry • Musicals Remote Rehearsal • Master Class Instruction • Distributed Ensembles 9/10/2020

Distance Education/Learning Tele-presence environments • Real-time interactions with very high quality audio and MPEG-2 video • as needed “meetings” connecting faculty and staff across the ocean Language/cultural Exchanges Learning foreign languages through cultural exchanges and problem based experiential learning Music instruction 9/10/2020

Partnerships: Internet 2 International Strategic importance to Internet 2 Ensure global interoperability • of the next generation of Internet technologies and applications Enable global collaboration • in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally Build effective partnerships in other countries With organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding 9/10/2020

Americas – highlights A Brief Story of Networking in Latin America Political, linguistic and cultural considerations have traditionally led to considerable interaction between countries within the region. However, networking has not followed this model Until very recently, the only available telecom infrastructure for data communication was by satellite • Cost independent of distance • No incentive for establishing links within the region, as all countries were mainly interested in access to global internet 9/10/2020

Recent important changes: optical infrastructure • End of state telecom monopoly in many countries –Competition and lower prices; commodity IP providers • Building out of new infrastructure based on submarine fibre optical cables • Opening exciting and new possibilities for cooperation in advanced technological and scientific applications Panamerican E-mergia (Telefonica) Imp. Sat Transandino Uni. Sur Global Crossing 9/10/2020

Present Internet 2 Connectivity in Latin America AMPATH: a project of FIU in collaboration with Global Crossing • connects Argentina, Brasil, Chile and Venezuela with connections at 45 Mbps • all connections are point to point from Miami, and thence to Abilene • Potential to connect other countries (where available) Mexico: cross-border connections to USA (TX and CA) 36

Catalyzing initiatives: CLARA Cooperación Latino Americana de Redes Avanzadas Association of NRENs in LA open to all LA Countries Coordination amongst LA-NRENs and other stakeholders Cooperation for the promotion of scientific and technological development Planning and implementation of network services for regional interconnection Internet 2 -CLARA Mo. U (October 2003) over 15 countries involved Background: • @LIS: Alliance for the Information Society (2003 -2005) • 62. 5 Million Euros for EU-LA on Information Society Issues 10 Million Euros for Interconnecting Europe & Latin American Research and Education Networks 9/10/2020 (cost sharing: EU 80% - LA 20%)

CLARA is important to Latin America Major connectivity between Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico (at least 45 Mbps) Other countries connect to major nodes (between 10 and 45 Mbps) Large pipe to Europe (at least 155 Mbps): • Project ALICE - América Latina Interconectada Con Europa [June 2003 - May 2006] Reasonable expectations of greater bandwidth than these minimum values, at least on backbone May improve Internet 2 connectivity by optimising LA participation in AMPATH 9/10/2020

Why work together? Leading-edge, high-performance network infrastructure is being put in place to support science, research, teaching and learning in countries around the world As a global community, we need to work even more closely together to ensure support for global applications on an end to end basis 9/10/2020
