Outline
Very brief intro to Internet2 international program
What’s the status of advanced networking in the rest of the world?
• Minus U.S., Canada (see other presentations)
Internet2 International Goals
Ensure global interoperability • of the next generation of Internet technologies and applications
Enable global collaboration • in research and education providing/promoting the development of an advanced networking environment internationally
International Partners
Build effective partnerships in other countries
With organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies

Global Trends and DevelopmentsGlobal Trends and Developments
Internet2 International connectivity
Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure
Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US
NSF provides some funding for 3 international links and one interconnection point
• TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet, STAR TAP
STAR TAP and StarLighthttp://www.startap.net
Based in Chicago
STAR TAP based on AADS (Ameritech) ATM switch
StarLight is 3 things• A place: colo space at a
Northwestern University building - 710 North Lakeshore Drive
• Optical interconnect: optical switching of wavelengths
• Production peering: bridging to legacy STAR TAP

International Transit Network (ITN) project
Provide transit across North America
Cooperation between STAR TAP, CANARIE, Internet2
Has provided connectivity where formerly gaps
• DANTE/TEN-155, JANET to Asia, etc.• Red CUDI to all
Abilene - ITN
Internet2 providing transit between non-US networks (and vBNS) across Abilene
Implemented on Abilene now with all non-US peer networks
No transit to fednets (except vBNS)• Direct peering at some interconnects (e.g. DREN, ESNET at Pacific Wave)
