U.S. Government sponsoredNext Generation Internet Program--NGI--
President Clinton - October 1996 • “Connect universities and national labs with high-speed networks that are 100 - 1000 times faster than today's Internet. These networks will connect at least 100 universities and national labs at speeds that are 100 times faster than today's Internet, and a smaller number of institutions at speeds that are 1,000 times faster. These networks will eventually be able to transmit the contents of the entire Encyclopedia Britannica in under a second.”
NGI Agencies • DARPA • NSF • DoE • NASA • NIST • NLM
Goal 1: Research • Coordinated, multi-agency development, deployment, and demonstration of the technologies necessary to permit the effective, robust, and secure management, provisioning, and end-to-end delivery of differentiated service classes • These activities cluster into three major tasks: • Network Growth Engineering • End-to-End Quality of Service (QoS) • Security
Goal 2: Network Testbeds • Create and deploy tools and algorithms for planning and operations that guarantee predictable end-to-end performance at scales and complexities of 100 to 1000 times those of the current Internet • Facilitate management of large scale inter-networks operating at gigabit to terabit speeds supporting a range of traffic classes on a shared infrastructure • Create a network testbed of at least 100 institutions through which users (government and research) share facilities, thereby accelerating the development and penetration of novel network applications
Goal 3: Applications • Applications should need NGI speed or services, i.e., be something that could not be done before NGI • Applications should have high visibility
NGI Services Needed by Applications • Strong Security • Adaptable Net Management • Selectable Loss Rate • Scaleability • Multicasting • High bandwidth • Bandwidth reservation • Low latency • Low jitter • Nomadicity • Real-time • Variable priority

NGI and Internet 2: Complementary and Interdependent
NGI and Internet 2: Complementary and Interdependent
Engineering Objectives • Deploy a production network to support applications R&D • Establish quality of service (QoS) • Support native multicast • Establish gigaPoPs as effective service points
ESnet (DREN) JETnets
Joint Engineering Team (JET) • A forum of NGI, Internet2 and other federal networks/agencies mainly for technical exchange and coordination • Focused on interconnection and peering of JETnets in support of end-to-end services • Facilitates joint (inter-agency, states, I2) efforts for special connections like Alaska and Hawaii • Joint meetings with Gigapop operators
JETnets NGI Funding and Service Types NSF funds vBNS (directly and indirectly) and Abilene (indirectly)
Advanced Services • IP multicast: all JETnets (except NISN) have native multicast running in production mode using the PIM-SM, MBGP and MSDP protocols -- 1999 is the year native multicast became real in the backbones (still not on many campuses) • IP QoS: Abilene, ESnet, NREN and vBNS are active members of the QBone project (inter-domain diffserv); vBNS has offered “reserved b/w” service using RSVP/ATM • IPv6: all JETnets are part of the 6Bone project and vBNS is testing a native IPv6 service (separate routers)
Performance Expectation and Issues • For OC3 or higher connected sites with 100Mbps switched campus nets and fine tuned end systems (and no firewall in the path) you can expect 80 Mbps end-to-end (memory to memory) - this is not the TYPICAL case • Most performance bottlenecks are in the end systems: lack of path MTU discovery, TCP implementation, multiple memory copying and buffer management; there are also problems in local networks (under-power routers) • NGI program first phase mostly focused on wide area nets, now we are focusing on local nets and end systems
Interconnect Issues NGIX effort: NGI / Internet2 JET Chicago: OC-3 going to OC-12 Ames: OC-12 Washington: OC-12 as soon as possible International: StarTap plus Emphasize StarTap as the universal solution Optimize where appropriate Canada as an important special case
