  10. Internet2’s Role • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet • Research universities and scientific labs • State education networks • The commercial Internet

  11. Internet2 - today • US-based membership organization • 207 US University members • 66 Corporate members • 47 Affiliate members • Including several US government research labs • 2 Association members • 46 International partnerships • Budget more than $25 million per year

  13. Coordinating Across Geographic Scales

  14. Internet2 Network Infrastructure Overview • Campus • Regional Aggregation • Example: by US state, metropolitan region, multi-state region • National • Backbone network infrastructure

  15. Internet2 Backbone Networks (“Abilene”) Network Infrastructure Visualized Commercial Internet Connections Research and Education Regional Network University B University C

  17. Abilene Backbone Network

  18. Connecting to Abilene

  19. State Higher Education Sponsored Networks • Connected: • More than half of all colleges and universities in the US connected • More than 1/3 of all K-12 schools • 1 in 5 libraries across the nation • Now substantially expanded with the reach into Alaska!

  22. Today’s Internet2Networking and Applications

  23. Fine Arts Rehearsal and Performance

  24. Health Science Research and Instruction

  26. Collaboration and Communication

  27. What We Have Learned • Bandwidth • Symmetry • Neutrality • Global Competitiveness

  28. Bandwidth • The applications we use today require up to 100 megabits/second • Today’s local infrastructure is capable of speeds above 10 megabits/second • Special challenges exist for rural communities

  29. Symmetry Collaboration and content creation Enabling new content creation opportunities • FTP vs. BitTorrent • “Big Web” vs. Blogging • Streaming Audio vs. Podcasting • Apple iTMS video vs. Grouper.com • Opens up distributed enterprise

  30. Network Neutrality • Today’s technology allows high bandwidth to the home and small business • Internet2 experience: Simple and inexpensive, not complex and expensive! • Innovation • Critical for higher education

  31. Global Competitiveness • Other nations are out-investing us and doing it with a national strategy • If the US doesn’t invest, we will be followers, not leaders • Our geographic diversity requires investment to harness the productivity of all our people

  32. Foundation for New Services Community-owned optical networking infrastructure Diversity Cost-effectiveness National LambdaRail FiberCo

  33. Owning the infrastructure • Campus, regional and national networks moving away from buying telecommunications services to “owning” the assets • Campus – laying fiber on campus and between campuses in metro area • Regional networks – buying, laying and long-term leasing “dark” fiber to build networks • National – National Lambda Rail 20-year IRU on dark fiber; lit with NLR-owned equipment

  34. Deploying and Testing

  35. The Future for Alaska • Extend fiber-based networking to Alaska higher education • Work with government & industry • Deploy higher bandwidth connectivity intra-state • New technologies will be required • An opportunity for Alaskan leadership globally • Ensure that the commercial network is capable of real broadband
