  2. IRNC Solicitation • 2004 Solicitation (NSF 04-560, see www.nsf.gov) • “NSF expects to make a small number of awards to provide network connections linking U.S. Research networks with peer networks in other parts of the world” • “The availability of limited resources means that preference will be given to solutions which provide the best economy of scale and demonstrate the ability to link the largest communities of interest with the broadest services” • Follow-on to “High-Performance International Internet Services” (HPIIS) 1997

  3. IRNC cont’d • Program Funding - $5M per year • Cooperative agreements for up to 5 years • New themes applied to program • In support of Production r&e traffic • Cohesive organization and architecture • “geographic sensibility” • “pay for what we need” • Measurement • Security

  4. 2005 IRNC Awards • Pacific Rim • #0441102 – “US-Russia-China GLORIAD…” • #0441096 – “TransPAC2” • #04XXXX – [one Award Not Yet Official ] • Europe • #0441094 “TransLight/StarLight” • Latin America • #0441095 “WHREN: Increasing the Rate of Discovery and Enhancing Education across the Americas”

  5. Awards - Asia • #0441102 – “US-Russia-China GLORIAD: Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development” • PI Greg Cole (Univ. of Tennessee) • Funds connectivity to U.S. from Russia, China, and Korea • Leverages donated Tyco circuits in 1st year • To/from Moscow 1 Gig-E • To/from Beijing STM-16 (2.5 G) with likely additional STM-16 to Pusan • Funded at $4.2M over 5 years

  6. GLORIAD Topology – Current, Plans for Years 1-5 Moscow Novosibirsk Seattle Amsterdam Chicago Khabarovsk Beijing NYC Pusan HongKong

  7. Asian Portion of GLORIAD (Segment 1)(illustrating HK-SEA link and HK-Pusan-SEA link)

  8. Awards - Asia • #0441096 – “TransPAC2” • PI Jim Williams (Indiana) • Funds TransPAC2 U.S. connectivity with Japan • 10G connection between Los Angeles (PacificWave) and Tokyo • Additional opportunities (see last talk) • Funded at $5M over 5 years

  9. TransPAC2 Architecture

  10. Awards - Europe • #0441094 “TransLight/StarLight” • PI Tom DeFanti (Univ. of Illinois at Chicago) • Provides 2x10 Gbps between U.S. and Europe • From MAN LAN in NYC • First circuit to be homed to GEANT in Amsterdam • Can also be used for ESnet (DOE) traffic • Funded at $5M over 5 years

  11. Awards – Latin America • #0441095 “WHREN: Increasing the Rate of Discovery and Enhancing Education across the Americas” • PI Julio Ibarra (FIU) • Funds U.S. connectivity to RedCLARA • 1.2 Gbps connection Miami – Sao Paulo (evolving to 2.5Gbps) • 1.0 Gbps connection San Diego – Tijuana (easily upgradeable, dark fiber access) • Funded at $5M over 5 years

  12. SCI/IRNC: WHREN

  13. Inter-regional Links • WHREN-LILA links interconnecting with RedCLARA in Tijuana, Mexico and Sao Paulo, Brazil

  14. Awards - Other • Africa: #0451384 SGER – “Extending High Bandwidth Academic and Research Networking to Africa” • PI George Sadowsky (Internews Network) 9/1/04 start, 100k • Develop plan to extend connectivity to African countries (Ghana, South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Senegal, possibly others) • IRNC Measurement • #0457404 SGER - “Network Measurement for International Connections”, PI Matt Zekauskas (UCAID, Internet2) • #0XXXXX SGER – [2nd SGER Award in this area not officially made yet ] • Investigate approaches and help develop guidelines for common measurement capabilities and metrics across IRNC connections

  15. Other Plans • IRNC Kickoff meeting at NSF on March 11 • Methodical technology insertion • Insertion of layer2 and “hybrid” services as needed • Granular traffic reporting – NSF will have detailed visibility into usage • Eventual resource for research on network traffic • BRO Platforms, OCxMONs? • Expansion into new regions?
