4
Internet2 Applications

• What are Internet2 applications?
• They deliver qualitative and quantitative
  improvements in how we conduct research and
  engage in teaching and learning
• They require advanced networks to work

5
Application Attributes

• Real-time access to remote resources
• Large-scale, multi-site computation and data
  mining
• Shared virtual reality
• Any combination of the above

6
Application Goals

  organizations, and address the critical (and
  unique) needs of research communities
• Support strategic demonstrations in order to
  demonstrate the value of advanced networking and
  facilitate member collaborations
• Scout for and engage innovative applications
  under development, so that the Internet2
  community can maintain openness to innovation at
  the edge
• Move maturing applications to production status
  in order to promote the large-scale adoption of
  common applications

7

12
Program Managers

• Work with defined communities on integrating
  advanced technologies that support the discipline
• How we can help
• Connect you with Internet2 resources and with
  people doing similar work
• Help learn from other projects
• Watch for trends
• What we do not do
• Run your Internet2 project
• Lay wires, code applications, etc.

13
Science and Engineering

• Russ Hobby T. Charles Yun
• Program Managers for Science
• and Engineering

14
Science and Engineering

• Program managers are one channel through which
  communities can interact with Internet2 and the
  broader Internet2 community
• Our backgrounds are different and we provide
  views into different portions of the world
• Middleware
• End to End Performance
• Engineering (network)
• Security

15
Application Communities

• Progress is driven by those who see ways in which
  advanced networking technologies can benefit
  their research communities
• Internet2 has worked with a variety of
  communities over time. One way to organize is by
  our history of interaction with these groups
• Mature
• Developing
• Nascent
• Even more nascent

High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP)

• Physics has traditionally been one of the power
  users of all networks
• Physicists are generating Terabytes of data
  (1,000,000,000,000 or 1x1012) per experiment from
  the CERN lab in Switzerland
• Types of network usage
• Bulk data transfers that are extremely resistant
  to data loss.
• VRVS expects multicast and low-latency/jitter
  networks for effective video conferencing

As a mature community, we learn as much from the
HENP community as they do from us (it could be
argued that we are the students).
21
VLBI

• Astronomers collect data about a star from many
  different earth based antennae and send the data
  to a specialized computer for analysis on a 24x7
  basis.
• VLBI is not as concerned with data loss as they
  are with long term stability.
• The end goal is to send data at 1Gb/s from over
  20 antennae that are located around the globe.

Internet2 works closely with the VLBI researchers
and assists where we can. We are the teachers,
but probably not for long.
22
NEON and Earthscope

• Boath in the early stages of their development
• Their research goals and science plan is fairly
  well understood.
• Using advanced networks to connect researchers,
  data and sensors is assumed.
• The specific ways in which advanced networking
  will be integrated into their project still needs
  to be investigated.
• As a new group in the Internet2 community, the
  Program Managers are identifying areas in which
  advanced networking experience can be used to
  further their research

23
A New Community Games

• There are many examples of communities that might
  fall into this category. One of Internet2s
  objectives is to identify technologies, users and
  applications that will change the way we look at
  the network
• Lets use games as an example
• Shared 3D visualizations, persistent world
  environments, real time interaction, trusted user
  communities, etc.

We are looking for communities that will push
networking research in multiple areas,
particularly areas that will become
24
Security

• Spidermans Uncle said, with great power comes
  great responsibility. Security is a
  inter-community, cross-application concern.
• Cutting edge applications are often
  indistinguishable from security breaches.
• Implementing systems to support advanced
  applications while addressing security is a
  requirement for all future applications.
• http//security.internet2.edu/

Internet2 has gathered a group called SALSA to
begin looking into the ways in which security and
advanced network applications can coexist
