Today’s Internet
Millions of users
Web, email, low-quality audio & video
Interconnect personal computers and servers
Applications adapt to underlying technology
5
Today’s Internet Doesn’t
Provide reliable end-to-end performance
Encourage cooperation on new capabilities
Allow testing of new technologies
Support development of revolutionary applications
6
Tomorrow’s Internet
Billions of users and devices
Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video-conference, HDTV)

Paths to Innovation
Lesson of the Web: unanticipated innovation
Network growth and value are non-linear
New technologies enable qualitatively different uses
Users become innovators
10
Internet2 Mission

11
Internet2 Goals
Enable new generation of applications
Re-create leading edge R&E network capability
Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet

Why University Leadership?
The Internet came from the academic community
•Stanford – the Internet protocols
•NSFNet – the scaled-up Internet
•CERN – the WWW protocols
•University of Illinois – the Web browser
Universities’ research and education mission require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it

Internet2 Applications
What are “I2 applications”?
They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning
They require advanced networks to work
28
Advanced Applications
Goals•Understand and communicate applications requirements
•Facilitate collaboration of key user communities
•Help develop key apps components where needed

What is Middleware?
Specialized networked services shared by applications and users
• Permit scaling of applications and networks
• Take the complexity out of application integration
Second layer of the IT infrastructure, above the network
Where technology meets policy
What network designers and applications developers each do not want to do!
43
Middleware
Network-based services supporting applications
• Authentication
• Identification
• Authorization
• Directories
• Security
Commercial efforts• Microsoft’s .NET
• Liberty Alliance
44
Why Middleware?
Internet2 goal•Provide environment in which new/advanced applications can be developed and used
Middleware is the next layer of infrastructure that needs to be taken for granted by applications developers
45
Internet2 Middleware Initiative
Focus on core middleware as infrastructureInteroperability
• 190 universities will never buy the same software
Getting stuff implemented• Best practices
Integrate into campus infrastructure• Discourage ‘islands’ of middleware infrastructure• E.g., core middleware just for this grid project
Enable community to share resources• Grid, remote instruments, shared classes
46
Internet2 Middleware Initiative
Advisory Groups• Middleware Architecture Committee for Education• Early Harvest and Early Adopters
Projects• Internet2 PKI Labs
– AT&T– Dartmouth College– University of Wisconsin
• Shibboleth– IBM/Tivoli
• Directory of Directories for Higher Education– Georgetown University– Sun Microsystems
47
Shibboleth Project
Goal: Support inter-institutional sharing of resourcesFocus: Authenticate locally for access to shared, licensed resources at another campusScenario: Student at Stanford taking class at MIT need to access licensed materials (journals) at MIT for classBottom line: MIT doesn’t issue new userid/password, trusts Stanford authentication
48
Shibboleth Progress
Beta testing with a few schools in February
Code will be available this summer• IBM supporting coding effort
• Open source implementation
Leverages existing campus authentication processes/software
Ultimately develop ‘Club Shib’ – group of universities in trust relationship

Abilene Background and Milestones
Abilene is a UCAID project in partnership with• Qwest Communications (SONET & DWDM service)• Nortel Networks (SONET kit)• Cisco Systems (routers)• Indiana University (network operations)• ITECs in North Carolina and Ohio (test and evaluation)
Timeline• Apr 1988: Project announced at White House• Jan 1999: Production status for network• Oct 1999: IP version of HDTV (215 Mbps) over Abilene• Apr 2001: First state education network added• Jun 2001: Participation reaches all 50 states & D.C.• Nov 2001: Raw HDTV/IP (1.5 Gbps) over Abilene
55
Future of Abilene
Original UCAID/Qwest MoU amended on October 1, 2001Extension of Qwest’s original commitment to Abilene for another 5 years – 10/01/2006
• Originally expired March, 2003
Upgrade of Abilene backbone to optical transport capability - ’s
• X4 increase in the core backbone bandwidth– OC-48c SONET (2.5 Gbps) to 10-Gbps DWDM
• Capability for flexible provisioning of ’s to support future point-to-point experimentation and other projects

Practically Speaking…
The system of collectively learning and altering our environment is very fragmented today in most institutions
Yet, these are the likely eventual realities:• Inexpensive, widely available high communications
bandwidth
• Other emerging technologies that, when combined with bandwidth, will enable breakthroughs
• Tomorrow’s survivors will be continuously learning and taking advantage of technological advances
