Abilene Update • Tuesday • 3: 00 – 4: 00 p. m. • Salon C

Abilene changes relevant to international peers • IPv 6 and multicast transit traffic • Background: Abilene peers with commercial IPv 6 and multicast networks • This is an exception to our policy not to peer with commercial networks • As a way to encourage commercial deployment of IPv 6 and multicast • Change: no longer announcing non-customer routes to commercial IPv 6 and multicast peers • Rationale: some commercial peers complaining because it is not standard commercial practice to announce non-customers • Impact: some international peers may have lost previously seen routes to commercial v 6 and multicast networks via Abilene

Abilene changes, cont’d • Transit to “fednets” • US federal government research networks • ESnet, NREN, NISN, DREN • Abilene ITN service initial could not provide fednet to non-US net transit • This became possible early last year • Where direct peering not possible • Where requested by both peers • Some fednets have restrictions or special requirements for enabling peering

Abilene routing policies • Abilene peering with Routeviews • Objective: to help provide global R&E network community better insight into Abilene routing policies • As Chris Robb’s presentation mentioned, contemplating other changes that could be made

HOPI Testbed International connectivity • HOPI update • Tuesday, 4: 30 – 5: 30 p. m. Salons I/II/III • Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) initiative • Testbed: Abilene + 10 G wave on NLR footprint

HOPI Testbed International Connectivity • Within US, available at: • • Pacific. Wave Star. Light MAN LAN NGIX-East • 10 G connection to London to support collaboration with similar European efforts • MAN LAN in NYC to GEANT 2 Po. P in London • Connected in London real soon now

GEANT 2 – Internet 2 Service Trial: switched point to point services • GEANT 2 services include switched, point-topoint Gig. E-based services – Bundled as part of core subscription for NRENs • Internet 2 to offer similar services – Currently via HOPI testbed – Ultimately via Newnet • Desire to trial technical and organization model for making these services available across both GEANT 2 and Internet 2 communities

The details • June – December 2006: service “trial” period – Invite connectors/users in both communities to request service to connector/user in the other community • GEANT 2 users: those with access to GE or wavelength services • Internet 2 community: those with access to HOPI testbed

Longer-term • Financial model: costs for service lie where they fall – E. g. GEANT 2 users follow their cost model for GEANT 2 -carried portion; same for Internet 2 service users – Trans-atlantic costs considered sunk for now; will examine as understand demand • Will equip at least two of the 10 Gbps links in place or planned between Internet 2 and GEANT 2 to support
