TP3 – Connecting Asia and the US TP3 – Connecting Asia and the US

US lead partner: Indiana University Partners: APAN, TEIN3, NICT‐Japan, NII‐Japan, CERNET‐China, Data Logistics Toolkit, l et al Multiple 10G connections from the US to Asia Connections now reaching Southeast Asia and South Asia Connection to TEIN3 network provides link to Europe Connection to GLORIAD/Taj network will provide additional link to Asia and Europe Peering with Internet2/NLR on US West Coast (Pacific Wave)

k b d b l d Network‐based Services: Accountability and Service

Utilization statistics in a useable form e2e measurement – what researchers are really concerned about Custom networks and connections (dynamic circuits provisioned by researchers) Custom networks and connections (dynamic circuits provisioned by researchers) As network operations become more transparent, network operators must become more accountable As networks become “more global”, network operators must develop tools and mechanisms for shared/distributed operations. See: http://groups geni net/geni/wiki/K‐GENI See: http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/K‐GENI Security, security, security….how can we cooperatively attack this problem? One possible component: http://www.ren‐isac.net/ses/

Supporting Research and Education through Better Tools

Development of tools to make researcher‐provisioned connections and networks much simpler (no engineer involvement). Better collaboration tools using “social media‐based” tools https://hubzero.org/ Researcher‐specific tools, such as the Data Logistics Toolkit (DLT), need to b f ll d l d h id htt // d l / /dlt/ become fully developed research aids http://code.google.com/p/dlt/ Outreach activities, particularly in developing areas, designed to increase international research and education collaborations, e.g. g http://usindiaworkshop.indiana.edu/

IRNC P N t I t ti l R h N t k C ti P d ti IRNC ProNet = International Research Network Connections – Production Network Environment Provisioning is fairly simple. Coordination is rather more complex g y p p All IRNC projects must work together to develop integrated US international R/E network infrastructure (extending IRNC to developing areas) and address the impending “flood of data” from many sources (bio areas) and address the impending flood of data from many sources (bio, climate, HEP, astronomy) GLORIAD/Taj and TransPAC3/ACE, in particular, have similar goals and plan
