Internet2: a Comparative Study and Technological Solution to Achieve High Speed Networks
Himanshu Agarwal / Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering Vol 1 No 3, 157-160 INTERNET2: A COMPARATIVE STUDY AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO ACHIEVE HIGH SPEED NETWORKS HIMANSHU AGARWAL Department of Computer Science & Information Technology, Moradabad Institute of Technology, Moradabad-244001 (Uttar Pradesh), India Email: [email protected] Abstract In current Indian scenario whenever it is required to access very large amount of data such as games or some commercial applications through commodity internet (internet1), speed becomes hurdle. It becomes tolerable for some applications but no one wants to bother in case of education and research. Now the world becomes commercialized and don’t want to bother with speed. Therefore the next generation of Internet infrastructure known as Internet2 or UCAID (University Corporation for Advance Internet Development) for 21st century comes in the focus of scientists, to improve quality of life through research and education. In this paper thorough analysis and comparative study of various educational networks, market scenario and Internet2 has been done, so all pros and cons become visualized to get the effect of internet2 in industries, research and development. Keywords: Internet2; Abilene network; gigapops; high speed networks. 1. Introduction Internet2 is a second generation network serving universities and research institutes by moving the data at a rate of 10 gigabits per second and more ,compared with 5.1 or so megabits old fashioned commodity internet. Internet2 moves data 100 to 1,000 times faster than internet1. Its GigaPoPs (points of presence) provide regional high-performance aggregation points; for member institutions, typically local campus networks provide no less than 100 Mbps to the desktop. -
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. -

Uen Provides Bandwidth on Demand for the Research Community
UEN PROVIDES BANDWIDTH ON DEMAND FOR THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY What Our Customers Working with the University of Utah, the Are Saying Utah Education Network has connected the “We were able to start deploying 100G wavelengths alongside our research community with a super-fast, 100G existing 10G wavelengths right transport infrastructure built on Ciena’s 6500 away, giving us a tenfold uplift in available bandwidth capacity for the Packet-Optical Platform. local research community.” The Utah Education Network (UEN) connects all universities, school districts, schools, “It costs the same to buy and turn libraries, and anchor institutions across the state. To meet the needs of super users at up a wavelength on the Ciena the University of Utah and other research institutions, the organization needed to infrastructure as it costs to lease an upgrade its existing 10G network infrastructure. equivalent service from a third-party provider for one year. After that, we Working with the University of Utah and Ciena, with local project support from Ciena only have maintenance costs to partner CenturyLink, UEN deployed new 100G wavelengths to connect the university’s think about, which means we high-performance computing center with its new data center in downtown Salt Lake achieve major ongoing savings.” City. A third 100G connection links the university to the U.S. national research and education network, Internet2. Kevin Quire Manager of Network Engineering The new metro optical network, which is built on Ciena’s 6500, provides virtually Utah Education Network unlimited, on-demand bandwidth for the research community. It will support the diverse research portfolio of researchers and students across Utah for many years to come, offering robust scientific computing and visualization capabilities in the areas of biomedicine, genomics, geophysics, combustion, molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, and climate modeling. -
Description of Omnipop for Proposals
Description of OmniPoP for Proposals Summary The OmniPoP is a collaborative effort between 12 of the member universities of the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Together, these institutions have pooled their efforts to create a high performance shared infrastructure based in the Chicago area. This infrastructure was designed to complement and augment the shared fiber infrastructure that the Big Ten Academic Alliance members had previously purchased. The OmniPoP operates a high capacity switching infrastructure that supports 10 gigabit and 100 gigabit connections to its member institutions and equivalent high capacity links to national research and education networks such as Internet2, ESnet, and Starlight. This allows OmniPoP connections to be leveraged to provide services to large data flows in support of multi-institutional cooperative research efforts. Efforts supported today include interconnections between the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Tier 2 efforts at the member institutions and the Midwest Openflow Crossroads Initiative (MOXI) project which links several midwest regional networks to the GENI backbone. OmniPoP Infrastructure and Peerings The Omnipop infrastructure consists of a redundant pair of 100 gigabit capable switches. These switches operate from geographically diverse co-location facilities within the Chicago metropolitan areas. These facilities also serve as Points of Presence (PoPs) for other major networks such as Internet2, ESnet (Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network), and Starlight (the international peering exchange), enabling seamless cross connections to the major national and international research and education networks that support much of the academic research community. An additional benefit to these facilities is that they offer the opportunity for Big Ten Academic Alliance members to co-locate additional network related equipment in support of their own projects independent of the OmniPoP core infrastructure. -
