Abilene changes relevant to international peers
• IPv6 and multicast transit traffic• Background: Abilene peers with commercial IPv6 and
multicast networks• This is an exception to our policy not to peer with commercial
networks• As a way to encourage commercial deployment of IPv6 and
multicast• Change: no longer announcing non-customer routes to
commercial IPv6 and multicast peers• Rationale: some commercial peers complaining because it is
not standard commercial practice to announce non-customers• Impact: some international peers may have lost previously
seen routes to commercial v6 and multicast networks via Abilene
Abilene changes, cont’d
• Transit to “fednets”•US federal government research networks
• ESnet, NREN, NISN, DREN
•Abilene ITN service initial could not provide fednet to non-US net transit
•This became possible early last year•Where direct peering not possible•Where requested by both peers•Some fednets have restrictions or special
requirements for enabling peering
Abilene routing policies
• Abilene peering with Routeviews
• Objective: to help provide global R&E network community better insight into Abilene routing policies
• As Chris Robb’s presentation mentioned, contemplating other changes that could be made
HOPI Testbed International connectivity
• HOPI update•Tuesday, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. Salons I/II/III
• Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) initiative•Testbed: Abilene + 10G wave on NLR
footprint
HOPI Testbed International Connectivity
• Within US, available at:•PacificWave•StarLight•MAN LAN•NGIX-East
• 10G connection to London to support collaboration with similar European efforts•MAN LAN in NYC to GEANT2 PoP in London•Connected in London real soon now
GEANT2 – Internet2 Service Trial: switched point to point services
• GEANT2 services include switched, point-to-point GigE-based services – Bundled as part of core subscription for NRENs
• Internet2 to offer similar services– Currently via HOPI testbed– Ultimately via Newnet
• Desire to trial technical and organization model for making these services available across both GEANT2 and Internet2 communities
The details
• June – December 2006: service “trial” period– Invite connectors/users in both communities
to request service to connector/user in the other community
• GEANT2 users: those with access to GE or wavelength services
• Internet2 community: those with access to HOPI testbed
Longer-term
• Financial model: costs for service lie where they fall– E.g. GEANT2 users follow their cost model for
GEANT2-carried portion; same for Internet2 service users
– Trans-atlantic costs considered sunk for now; will examine as understand demand
• Will equip at least two of the 10Gbps links in place or planned between Internet2 and GEANT2 to support
