Leading universitiesState and community collegesCorporations and communities

• Goals Research, Education, Economic Development for a community larger than Internet2 Test extended services for participants Data, Voice, VideoHelp define national standards, future direction


What are the Drivers?What are the Drivers?

• Scarce Resources

Funding

Leverage fiber availability to optimize costs

People

Technical staff - top need today

Management/Administrative staff

• Architecture

Performance - based on need/goals

Efficiency - based on cost/resources


• Aggregation points are free of AUP

Melting-pot of different “colors” of traffic

Service rich environment - for flexibility

• Interconnecting links recognize AUP

Funding from single “sponsor” or agency for single “use” (or multiple uses)

Technical requirements from Applications

Topology of links optimize sponsor need

AssertionsAssertions


CENIC ArchitectureCENIC Architecture

• GSRs at edge of each campus


• vBNS IP peering with regional router

• Other backbone peering - Abilene, ESNet, etc.

• 24x7 NOC services - one router hop into network

• 16x5 technical support (more on special request) -configuration and problem resolution

• ATM PVPs available regionally - special purpose

• Applications middleware coordination: Mcast/PIM, security, web caching, measurement, video, etc

• Buying power expansion
