QUILT CIRCLE2020 a Letter from the President
THE QUILT CIRCLE2020 A Letter From the President This 2020 Quilt Circle edition commemorates the 20th Anniversary of The Quilt. The fabric of our research and education (R&E) networking community has never been stronger. While our Quilt community has evolved in new and exciting ways in the past two decades, we have also been faced with a number of challenges which we take head-on and always with the spirit of collaboration. As we address the unprecedented challenges presented by the current global public health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the work of our members is more important than ever to the missions of their member communities. U.S. higher education institutions rely on R&E networks to give them a competitive edge in the most impactful scientific research initiatives which is essential in this crisis. We connect the educational institutions that support university medical centers and their associated hospitals. R&E networks also connect tens of thousands of other community anchor institutions, including K-12 schools, public libraries, local/state government, research sites, cultural institutions, public safety, and tribal lands. Being responsive and providing vital networking infrastructure and resources right now to address immediate needs is who we are and what we do. R&E networks are part of our nation’s critical infrastructure. This year’s edition of The Quilt Circle showcases several examples of the key role of R&E network members in both providing and facilitating the use-network infrastructure to further scientific discovery and collaborations at higher education institutions of all sizes. -

Growth of the Internet
Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] Preliminary version, July 6, 2001 Abstract The Internet is the main cause of the recent explosion of activity in optical fiber telecommunica- tions. The high growth rates observed on the Internet, and the popular perception that growth rates were even higher, led to an upsurge in research, development, and investment in telecommunications. The telecom crash of 2000 occurred when investors realized that transmission capacity in place and under construction greatly exceeded actual traffic demand. This chapter discusses the growth of the Internet and compares it with that of other communication services. Internet traffic is growing, approximately doubling each year. There are reasonable arguments that it will continue to grow at this rate for the rest of this decade. If this happens, then in a few years, we may have a rough balance between supply and demand. Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] 1. Introduction Optical fiber communications was initially developed for the voice phone system. The feverish level of activity that we have experienced since the late 1990s, though, was caused primarily by the rapidly rising demand for Internet connectivity. The Internet has been growing at unprecedented rates. Moreover, because it is versatile and penetrates deeply into the economy, it is affecting all of society, and therefore has attracted inordinate amounts of public attention. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the growth rates of the Internet, with special attention paid to the implications for fiber optic transmission. -

Broadband for Education: the National Internet2 K20 Initiative’S and WICHE’S Recommendations to the FCC
Broadband for Education: The National Internet2 K20 Initiative’s and WICHE’s Recommendations to the FCC Who are we? Internet2: We bring together Internet2’s world-class network and research community members with innovators from colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools, libraries, museums and other educational institutions, the full spectrum of America’s education community, including both formal and informal education. The National K20 Initiative extends new technologies, applications, and rich educational content to all students, their families and communities – no matter where they’re located. We have had immense success connecting the institutions above – in fact, over 65,000 institutions are now connected to the National Internet2 network – but to realize fully the potential of Internet2 all institutions must have adequate bandwidth. What follows are principles we endorse and urge the FCC to adopt. We divide our recommendations into two interrelated categories: connectivity and e-rate support. Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE): WICHE and its 15 member states work to improve access to higher education and ensure student success. Our student exchange programs, regional initiatives, and our research and policy work allow us to assist constituents in the West and beyond. Equitable access to broadband technology and, in particular, technology-enabled education, is among our strategies. At present much of the West, particularly the “frontier West,” has little or no access to adequate bandwidth. Many of our institutions are not among those connected by and participating in the Internet2 K20 Initiative. The principles and recommendations below would remedy this situation. Our recommendations: (1) Connectivity • Elementary schools, secondary schools, and branch libraries should be connected at 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. -
