Currently, “Little GLORIAD” is a set of OC3s (155 Mbps) between US/Starlight-Moscow and US/Starlight-Beijing and Russia-China Goal: 10 Gbps wavelength around northern hemisphere (filled w/good apps) by late 2005 – providing multiple GbEs (and a routed/ layer-3 service); multiple 10 Gbps circuits by 2008 A “hybrid” packet-/circuit-switched S&E network between US-Russia and US-China (and opening to other regions/countries as well) Program to encourage cyberinfrastructure development and improved S&E cooperation between US-Russia-China S&E communities Follow-on activity to NSF/MinSci-funded US- Russia NaukaNet program (1998-2004) Animation by Chinese Academy of Sciences Computer Network Information Center Emphasis on global ring topology, hybrid network service (“GLIF model”) and integration with other S&E networks and organizations Why GLORIAD? GLORIAD’s development is motivated by specific science community applications and designed to improve infrastructure and capabilities for S&E collaboration – with special focus on improving ties between US, Russia and China – three countries long isolated from each other We welcome/need participation by other communities/organizations/nations Why GLORIAD? “As part of the international community of science, we share common concerns that reach across national borders.
