Internet2 Who?
Elevator Explanation• Internet2's mission is to develop and deploy advanced network
applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet
Who we really are• Membership organization of 200+ US research universities• Parent 501.3c (UCAID) has board of university presidents• Project supported by numerous partnerships (government,
industry, international)
Goals• Enable new generation of applications• Re-create leading edge R&E network capability• Transfer capability to global production internet

Internet2 Focus Areas
Advanced Network Infrastructure• 10 GB Abilene backbone • Advanced regional networks • 100
MB to the desktop • National fiber-optic facility
Middleware• Directories • Authentication • Authorization
Engineering• Multicast • IPv6 • Measurement • New Arch
Advanced Applications• Gigabit+ file transfer • High-end video • Remote
instrumentation • Distributed computation • Virtual co-laboratories • Distance learning • Integrated Communications
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 4
■ Demographics• ~3.8 million students (tech-savvy, talk a lot, adapt easily)• And, by the way, they graduate (tech-transfer à la email)
■ Institutional Commitments• Internet2 members have committed to advance IP communications and promote collaborative apps• Many are looking for ways to reverse eroding voice revenues
■ Connectivity• Great networking connectivity
–High-bandwidth, low-loss, low-jitter –End-to-end transparency (few NATs)– IPv6 and multicast too!
• Emerging middleware infrastructure for AuthN/Z• Need to build on this to connect users with each other!
Internet2's Secret Sauce

VoIP
■ Not just a cost-saving hack ■ Open industry standards and the Internet
are revolutionizing telecom• New industry structures• New architectures, services, and applications• No longer a binary choice between PBX and Centrex
■ Trends• Decentralized control
• À la carte system components and services• Greater empowerment of campuses and enterprises• Greater empowerment of end users
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 6
■ Many, many ways to do better...• Fidelity• Privacy• Addressing• Mobility
Post-POTS Voice
• Survivability• Integration with IM, video, etc.• Presence• I911

The Campus Communications
Challenge...
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 8
Challenge #1:Dude, Where're My Customers?
■ Voice was once revenue-generating for many schools; no longer
■ Users have adopted consumer services to meet personal / profession needs• Cellular• Consumer IM&P (e.g. AIM, YIM, MSN)• Consumer VoIP (e.g. Skype, FWD)
■ How can universities develop services to:• Recapture these customers?• Enhance the campus life experience?• Facilitate collaborative research?• Improve productivity?
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 9
Challenge #2: Middleware Gap
■ Internet2 has largely taken a “field of dreams” approach to applications• Build the fat pipes and the apps will come
■ This is not working• There's a big gap between Layer 3 and Layer 7
■ What's missing?• Middleware• Do we sit by and wait for the Shawn Fannings of
the world to build it or do we?
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 10
Challenge #3: Beleagured CIOs
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 11
P2P and the Enterprise
■ P2P file-sharing explosion • Internet2's network connectivity +
Napster's middleware = P2P FS Explosion■ Similar potential for real-time apps
• This time get ahead of the curve and provide the enabling middleware ourselves
■ Religion: "Paths in the snow"• Don't predict how users will want to
communicate• Users are highly-motivated to communicate • Connect them and watch what happens• Connectivity from new MW infrastructure
Next-Generation Campus Services – Spring 2005 VON, March 8th, 2005 San Jose, CA 12
More Religion
■ Voice is strategic• But it's not just about voice (of course)
■ Cheap phone calls are nice• But new apps / value are better
■ Integrating campus IT assets is key■ Metcalfe's Law rules
