Internet 2: an overview HEANET Conference Heather Boyles heather@internet 2. edu 16 November 2001

Outline Background • History • Organization Areas of Work • How we work Relationships • E. g. with HEAnet 9/17/2020 3

Why Internet 2? The Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction But, only the Internet can: • Accommodate explosive growth • Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration 9/17/2020 4

Why University Leadership? The Internet came from the academic community • Stanford -- the Internet protocols • NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet • CERN -- the WWW protocols • University of Illinois -- the Web browser Universities’ research and education mission require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it 9/17/2020 6

Middleware } Applications Advanced Network Services (Distributed Network Middleware) Authentication, Identification, Authorization, Directories, Security Advanced Physical Network Infrastructure 9/17/2020 34

Middleware 9/17/2020 35

Internet 2 Middleware Initiative Focus on core middleware as infrastructure Interoperability • 190 universities will never buy the same software Getting stuff implemented • Best practices Integrate across applications • Discourage ‘islands’ of middleware infrastructure • E. g. core mware just for this grid project Enable community to share resources • Grid, remote instruments, shared classes 9/17/2020 36

I 2 MI core middleware activities Identifiers • Early Adopters - survey/docs about how campuses are assigning and relating identifiers Authentication • Web. ISO (Web Initial Sign-on): share expertise, code Directories • Do. DHE: Dir. of Directories for HE: inter-institutional directory searching, using edu. Person and LDAP Recipe • edu. Person: an LDAP object class that includes widely-used person attributes in higher education • LDAP Recipe: promote common design Authorization Certificates and PKI • Internet 2 PKI Labs 9/17/2020 37

How Internet 2 works Universities commit: • Engineering lead: connect university to rest of Internet 2 community, deploy new technologies • Applications lead: support apps development on campus • Middleware architect: work with I 2 MI to implement middleware infrastructure Working groups: • Of expert/interested individuals within community • Chaired by volunteer (sometimes by staff) • Staff support 9/17/2020 40

How Internet 2 works, cont’d Projects, e. g. Abilene • Executive team and Project team • Qwest, Cicso, Nortel • Indiana University supplies NOC Projects, e. g. Shibboleth • IBM providing coding • Designed by MACE (volunteers from community) • Supported by Staff Internet 2 Staff • Primarily facilitate, coordinate, flywheel • ~50 9/17/2020 41
