WSIS/RSIS, GLORIAD Launch, Digital Divide and
HEPGrid Workshop (Feb. 16-20 in Rio), GNEW2004,
GridNets2004, NASA ONT Workshop, etc. etc. - 3rd Intl Grid Workshop in Daegu (August 26-28,
2004) Plan for 2nd ICFA Digital Divide and
Grid Workshop in Daegu (May 2005) - HENP increasingly visible to governments heads
of state - Through Network advances (records), Grid
developments, Work on the Digital Divide and
issues of Global Collaboration - Also through the World Summit on the Information
Society Process. Next Step is WSIS II in TUNIS
November 2005 - A Striking Picture Continues to Emerge
Remarkable Progress in Some Regions, and a
Deepening Digital Divide Among Nations
6SCIC Main Conclusion for 2003Setting the Tone
for 2004
- The disparity among regions in HENP could
increase even more sharply, as we learn to use
advanced networks effectively, and we develop
dynamic Grid systems in the most favored
regions - We must therefore take action, and work to
Close the Digital Divide - To make Physicists from All World Regions Full
Partners in Their Experiments and in the
Process of Discovery - This is essential for the health of our global
experimental collaborations, our plans for future
projects, and our field.
7ICFA Report Networks for HENPGeneral
Conclusions (2)
- Reliable high End-to-end Performance of networked
applications such as large file transfers and
Data Grids is required. Achieving this requires - End-to-end monitoring extending to all regions
serving our community. A coherent approach to
monitoring that allows physicists throughout our
community to extract clear, unambiguous and
inclusive information is a prerequisite for
this. - Upgrading campus infrastructures. These are
still not designed to support Gbps data transfers
in most of HEP centers. One reason for the
under-utilization of National and International
backbones, is the lack of bandwidth to groups of
end-users inside the campus. - Removing local, last mile, and natl and intl
bottlenecks end-to-end, whether technical or
political in origin.While National and
International backbones have reached 2.5 to 10
Gbps speeds in many countries, the bandwidths
across borders, the countrysideor the city may
be much less. This problem is very widespread in
our community, with examples stretching from
China to South America to the Northeastern U.S.
Root causes for this vary, from lack of local
infrastructure to unfavorable pricing policies.
8ICFA Report (2/2004) Update Main Trends
Continue, Some Accelerate
- Current generation of 2.5-10 Gbps network
backbones and major Intl links arrived in the
last 2-3 Years USEuropeJapan Now Korea and
China - Capability 4 to Hundreds of Times Much Faster
than Moores Law - Proliferation of 10G links across the Atlantic
Now Will Begin use of Multiple 10G Links (e.g.
US-CERN) Along Major Paths by Fall 2005 - Direct result of Falling Network Prices 0.5
1M Per Year for 10G - Ability to fully use long 10G paths with TCP
continues to advance 7.5 Gbps X 16kkm (August
2004) - Technological progress driving equipment costs in
end-systems lower - Commoditization of Gbit Ethernet (GbE)
complete (20-50 per port) 10 GbE
commoditization (e.g. lt 2K per NIC with TOE)
underway - Grid-based Analysis demands end-to-end high
performance management - Some regions (US, Europe) moving to owned or
leased dark fiber - Emergence of the Hybrid Network Model
GNEW2004 UltraLight, GLIF - The rapid rate of progress is confined mostly to
the US, Europe, Japan and Korea, as well as the
major Transatlantic routes this threatens to
cause the Digital Divide to become a Chasm

7.5 Gbps over 16 kkm Caltech-CERN)
18Collaborations/funding
- Good news
- Active collaboration with NIIT Pakistan to
develop network monitoring including PingER - Travel funded by US State department for 1 year
- FNAL SLAC continue support for PingER
management and coordination - Bad news
- DoE funding for PingER terminated
- Proposal to EC 6th framework with ICTP, ICT
Cambridge UK, CONAE Argentina, Usikov Inst
Ukraine, STAC Vietnam VUB Belgium rejected - Proposal to IDRC/Canada February, no word
- Hard to get funding for operational needs
- For quality data need constant vigilance (host

23APAN Recommendations(at July 2004 Meeting in
CAIRNS, Au)
- New issues demand attention
- Application measurement, particularly end-to-end
network performance measurement is increasingly
critical (deterministic networking) - Security must now be a consideration for every
application and every network. - Central Issues for APAN this decade
- Stronger linkages between applications and
infrastructure - neither can exist independently - Stronger application and infrastructure linkages
among APAN members. - Continuing focus on APAN as an organization that
represents infrastructure interests in Asia - Closer connection between APAN the infrastructure
applications organization and regional
political organizations (e.g. APEC, ASEAN)

43Findings and Recommendations D.O. Williams (at
LISHEP2004) on the Digital Divide in Europe
- The Digital Divide
Exists - The depth of the digital divide varies very
greatly from country to country - There are four countries in Eastern Europe with a
high overall standard of research networking.
Reasons include - Good support for research networking at govtal
level - Access to dark fibre where/when necessary
- History of participation in joint European
projects - The majority of countries fall very far behind
those in western Europe - The consequences of this digital divide are
serious - Those countries without an adequate research
network will suffer from research exclusion
44Findings and Recommendations on the Digital
Divide in Europe (Williams)
- Access to Dark Fibre is Vital
- Access to dark fibre enables the NRENs in small
eastern European countries to upgrade the
capacity of the backbone and access links one
hundred-fold without spending much more on the
infrastructure - At the present moment this is the main step which
could be taken to close the digital divide. - In most eastern European countries the fibre is
already laid. - In countries with a liberalized telecommunication
market it is not difficult to get the fibre. - There are encouraging examples that this was also
done in the countries with monopoly in
telecommunications - Could the EC make recommendations in this respect
?
45Some Personal Comments on the Digital
Divide(D.O. Williams, LISHEP2004)
- I think that the digital divide issue is actually
very important for the future stability of the
world - I think that it will be very difficult to fix
- Some of it is finding the right technologies for
different areas - But a lot is about the structure of society
- Reliable electrical power
- Government transparency
- Support for education and scientific research
- and while the developed countries can give
advice and try to help, the real directions
can only be determined in the developing world - You need to understand that removing the digital
divide is shooting at a moving target. Internet
use has only just started and technological
progress will move the goalposts (raise the bar)
a lot in the next 2-3-5 years.
