  • 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.

Susan Hicks, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Vyto Grigaliunas, Network Analyst, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Abstract The importance of the Internet to modern High Energy Physics collaborators is clearly immense, and understanding how new developments in network technology impact net- works is critical to the future design of experiments. The next generation Internet Protocol (IPv6) is being deployed on testbeds and pro- duction networks throughout the world. The protocol has been designed to solve todays internet problems, and many of the features will be core Internet services in the future. In this talk the features of the protocol will be described. Details will be given on the deployment at sites important to High Energy Physics Research and the network services operating at these sites. In particular IPv6 deployment on the U.S. Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) will be reviewed. The connectivity and performance between High Energy Physics Laboratories, Universities and Institutes will be discussed. Keywords: Network, Technology, Internet, Protocol, IP, IPv6 1 Introduction High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP) experiments around the world generate huge amounts of data, much of which is transferred across networks to collaborators for analysis. Network technology has become critical to the success of experiments. The requirements of HENP researchers often means the networks they use become early implementors of new network technology. In this paper the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP) is reviewed.

  • A Comprehensive Survey on Machine Learning for Networking: Evolution, Applications and Research Opportunities Raouf Boutaba1*, Mohammad A
    Boutaba et al. Journal of Internet Services and Applications (2018) 9:16 Journal of Internet Services https://doi.org/10.1186/s13174-018-0087-2 and Applications RESEARCH Open Access A comprehensive survey on machine learning for networking: evolution, applications and research opportunities Raouf Boutaba1*, Mohammad A. Salahuddin1, Noura Limam1, Sara Ayoubi1, Nashid Shahriar1, Felipe Estrada-Solano1,2 and Oscar M. Caicedo2 Abstract Machine Learning (ML) has been enjoying an unprecedented surge in applications that solve problems and enable automation in diverse domains. Primarily, this is due to the explosion in the availability of data, significant improvements in ML techniques, and advancement in computing capabilities. Undoubtedly, ML has been applied to various mundane and complex problems arising in network operation and management. There are various surveys on ML for specific areas in networking or for specific network technologies. This survey is original, since it jointly presents the application of diverse ML techniques in various key areas of networking across different network technologies. In this way, readers will benefit from a comprehensive discussion on the different learning paradigms and ML techniques applied to fundamental problems in networking, including traffic prediction, routing and classification, congestion control, resource and fault management, QoS and QoE management, and network security. Furthermore, this survey delineates the limitations, give insights, research challenges and future opportunities to advance

  • 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.

  • Internet Routing Policies and Round-Trip-Times
    Internet Routing Policies and Round-Trip-Times Han Zheng, Eng Keong Lua, Marcelo Pias, and Timothy G. Griffin University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory {han.zheng, eng.lua, marcelo.pias, timothy.griffin}@cl.cam.ac.uk Abstract. Round trip times (RTTs) play an important role in Internet measure- ments. In this paper, we explore some of the ways in which routing policies impact RTTs. In particular, we investigate how routing policies for both intra- and inter- domain routing can naturally give rise to violations of the triangle inequality with respect to RTTs. Triangle Inequality Violations (TIVs) might be exploited by overlay routing if an end-to-end forwarding path can be stitched together with paths routed at layer 3. However, TIVs pose a problem for Internet Coordinate Systems that attempt to associate Internet hosts with points in Euclidean space so that RTTs between hosts are accurately captured by distances between their associated points. Three points having RTTs that violate the triangle inequality cannot be embedded into Euclidean space without some level of inaccuracy. We argue that TIVs should not be treated as measurement artifacts, but rather as nat- ural features of the Internet’s structure. In addition to explaining routing policies that give rise to TIVs, we present illustrating examples from the current Internet. 1 Motivation Since round trip times (RTTs) play an important role in Internet measurements, it is important to have a good understanding of the underlying mechanisms that give rise to observed values. Measured RTTs are the result of many factors — “physical wire” distance, traffic load, link layer technologies, and so on.
