Initial Internet2 finding - Alignment• Internet2 - a collaborative US university, government and industry effort to develop a new family of advanced applications utilizing high speed networks.

– Create and sustain leading edge network capabilities– Direct network development efforts to enable a new generation of applications– Rapidly transfer new network services and capabilities to the internet community

• Internet2 is also a forum for advanced internet network technologies, like IPv6, multicast, and QoS services

Corporate Internet2 Use: General Issues• Policies

– Internet2 & Abilene… corporate partner restrictions– Collaborate with university– No B2B AGN communications

• Company w/ 2 AG nodes… no business-only communications– Internal policies… corporate firewalls & network not compatible

• Security– NDAs– Audio/Video Encryption– Voice telephony– Proprietary info: kill boxes and

• Intellectual Property Rights– Corporate: Less openness– Still want to share in community– Internal Open vs. Proprietary

Corporate & Research Networks …Don’t Cross the Streams!

• Access Grid Node• Handheld research• Multicast protocols• Augmented Reality• User Studies

– Access Grid Node– Medical

Mot Labs and Internet2:Accomplishments to Date

AG Node Background• Mot Labs & Internet2

– Consortium: 200+ members

– OC-3c research connection

– Broadband IP Backbone

– Multicast: efficient media distribution

• Access Grid Nodes– Multimedia intensive

– Group-to-group interactions across geographically remote locations

– Cameras, mics, projectors, speakers

– Virtual Venues: “chat” rooms

– Dynamic display area:

eliminates multiple monitors

Prod Ops

• 2 AG Nodes deployed– Shared Spaces Room

– Product Ops

– Same building

• Communication tool: interact with research partners

• Research platform: investigate collaborative environments

First Commercial Entity with Access Grid Node

• Effective interaction with research partners• Grants, proposals, • U Montana• USCB• University of Kentucky

• User studies of commercial use for collaborative environments

• Commercial opportunities for specialized multi-party multimedia communications

Internet2ISM Network

• Problem: handhelds overwhelmed by traffic

• Solution: source specific multicast to choose single feeds

XSSM

Augmented RealityGoal: Demonstrate geographically distributed knowledge discovery system with query inputs and augmented reality outputs in 3 Illinois cities. Use optical network, multiple cluster computers, and 802.11a for tether-less head mounted displays

TRECC = Technology Research, Education, and Commercialization Center

• Leverage and extend applications developed by Internet2 for commercial usage

• Enhancements in networking protocols, middleware, distributed computing– Include in Research programs

• Idea generation via collaboration• Trend data

Value to Motorola going forward

• Clear, narrowly defined corporate value takes time, effort to develop– First value = Internet2 community

• Corporate environment different, and changes mode of operation (somewhat) vs. Academia– Rules, procedures, security– Patent vs. publication– Open vs. Proprietary
