Internet2 Applications
 What are “Internet2 applications”?
• They deliver qualitative and
quantitative improvements in how we
conduct research and engage in
teaching and learning
• They require advanced networks to
work
6
Application Attributes
Interactive
collaboration
Real-time access to
remote resources
7
Attributes, cont.
Large-scale, multisite computation and
data mining
Shared virtual reality
Any combination of
the above
8
Internet2 Application Goals
Collaborate with discipline communities
and organizations, and address the
critical (and unique) needs of research
communities
Support strategic demonstrations in
order to demonstrate the value of
advanced networking and facilitate
member collaborations
9
Internet2 Application Goals
(cont’d)
Scout for and engage innovative
applications under development, so that
the Internet2 community can maintain
openness to innovation at the edge
Move maturing applications to
production status in order to promote
the large-scale adoption of common
applications
10
Knowledge Sharing
 Internet2 acts as a clearinghouse to help
distribute information through the community
• Technical meetings
• Virtual presentations
 Technical support
• Software tools (monitoring, diagnostic)
• Loaner hardware
• Access to expertise (working groups)
11
Knowledge Sharing, cont.
 Event planning and organization
• Coordinating meeting spaces and
logistics
• Providing information distribution and
support (e.g., website and content
creation for working groups)

Program Managers
 Work with defined communities on integrating
advanced technologies that support the
discipline
 How we can help
• Connect you with Internet2 resources and
with people doing similar work
• Help learn from other projects
• Watch for trends
 What we do not do
• Run your Internet2 project
• Lay wires, code applications, etc.

Science and Engineering
Russ Hobby & T. Charles Yun
Program Managers for Science
and Engineering
Science and Engineering
Program managers are one channel
through which communities can interact
with Internet2 and the broader Internet2
community
 Our backgrounds are different and we
provide views into different portions of the
world
• Middleware
• End to End Performance
• Engineering (network)
• Security
20
Application Communities
 Progress is driven by those
who see ways in which
advanced networking
technologies can benefit their
research communities
 Internet2 has worked with a
variety of communities over
time. One way to organize is
by our history of interaction with
these groups:
•
•
•
•
Mature
Developing
Nascent
Even more nascent…
21
High Energy and Nuclear
Physics (HENP)
 Physics has traditionally been
one of the “power users” of all
networks
 Physicists are generating
Terabytes of data
(1,000,000,000,000 or 1x1012)
per experiment from the CERN
lab in Switzerland
 Types of network usage:
• Bulk data transfers that are extremely
resistant to data loss.
• VRVS expects multicast and lowlatency/jitter networks for effective video
conferencing
As a mature community,
we learn as much from the
HENP community as they
do from us (it could be
argued that we are the
students).
22
VLBI
 Astronomers collect data about
a star from many different earth
based antennae and send the
data to a specialized computer
for analysis on a 24x7 basis.
 VLBI is not as concerned with
data loss as they are with long
term stability.
 The end goal is to send data at
1Gb/s from over 20 antennae
that are located around the
globe.
Internet2 works closely
with the VLBI researchers
and assists where we can.
We are the teachers, but
probably not for long.
23
NEON
 NEON is in the early stages
of their development
 Their research goals and
science plan is fairly well
understood.
 Using advanced networks to
connect researchers, data
and sensors is assumed.
 The specific ways in which
advanced networking will be
integrated into their project
still needs to be investigated.
As a new group in the
Internet2 community, the
Program Managers are
identifying areas in which
advanced networking
experience can be used to
further NEON’s research
24
A New Community: Games
We are looking for
communities that will push
networking research in
multiple areas, particularly
areas that will become
 There are many examples of
communities that might fall into
this category. One of Internet2’s
objectives is to identify
technologies, users and
applications that will change the
way we look at the network
 Let’s use games as an
example…
• Shared 3D visualizations, persistent
world environments, real time interaction,
trusted user communities, etc.

Researchers:
Why Scientists Participate in Internet2
Internet2 doesn't only save time, it allows
interactivity in places where that was not possible
before. I'd call it a quantum leap, if I didn't know
that physics defines that as the smallest change a
system is capable of... Timothy Poston, Bangladesh

Application
• To connect to each other, users need superior
network connectivity, application connectivity,
and ultimately, user-to-user connectivity
Presence
(high-performance, end-to-end IP transit)
Connected teenagers will really innovate!
• Internet2 interesting not just for its superior connectivity
• User demographics matter too (~4 million students)
• Tech-savvy, talk a lot, and they graduate!
86
Paths in the Snow
Connected users will drive disruptive change
• But pure peer-to-peer solutions only go so far
Smart institutions and companies will…
• Provide tools (applications) to exploit connectivity
• Watch carefully for opportunities to add value through new services
Campuses manage critical physical/information
infrastructure that cannot be routed around
