NOC & Resource Allocation Committee - Abstracts

Title: KREONET/KREONet2 update
Dongkyun Kim, KISTI
 
KREONET/KREONet2  is a national research network running by KISTI in Korea. It has been providing advanced network services for about 200 member institutions since 1988.KREONET/KREONet2 is operating 12 GigaPoPs in 11 regions, and currently 2.5-5 Gbps is provisioned for core backbone. It will be upgraded to 5-10 Gbps earlier this year.
In addition, we have been providing bandwidth allocation service for those who want dedicated research connectivity. Based on this service as well as SuperSIReN which is a 10G-based high performance regional network in Daedeok Science Town, we launched the lambda networking of KREONET/KREONet2 in 2003.
 This presentation describes the major activities mentioned above in more detail, and it also introduces overseas network infrastructure, network engineering, principle applications, etc.
 

Title: APAN-JP update
Yasuichi Kitamura and APAN Tokyo XP NOC

After the last Busan APAN meeting, especially around
Tokyo XP, a lot of things happened. One is about the
TransPAC link. SC2003 trial happened at the same time
of the upgrade of the TransPAC and the Tokyo XP NOC
worked hard to provide the high performance connection
for the SC2003. The great thing of the latest update
is the Hawaii link. In this presentation, a lot of
events and changes will be listed but this will help
the audience to find out what kind of the advanced
project can be done there.


Title: The Hybrid Packet Optical Initiative as a  Connectivity Solution
Chris Robb, Indiana Univ.

With the advent of all-optical networking at the R&E level
becoming more pervasive in the coming year, it's become clear that
there is a continued need for packet-based networks in an optical
world. The HOPI project (Hybrid Optical Initiative) is aimed at filling
the gap between traditional packet-base networks and the newer optical
networks. Engineers may need access to both types of resources in a
particular path. The HOPI design team is currently working on a draft
design that will enumerate the access methods for such access. This
talk will briefly describe the HOPI goals and the possible solutions.
 

Title: Advanced Networking Initiatives in the US
Jim Williams, Indiana Univ.

This short talk will outline the following US supported or partially supported advanced networking initiatives:

NLR - National Lambda Rail
HOPI - Hybrid Optical Packet Network
DTF/ETF - Distributed (Extended) Terascale Facility
FiberCo
USAWaves
TransPAC
UltraNet
GLORIAD
TransLight/GLIF
 

Title: AARNet3 - The Next Generation of AARNet
Steve Maddocks, AARNet 

A new national research and education network has been designed by
Australia's Academic and Research Network (AARNet) which incorporates
significantly enhanced national and trans Pacific capacity. The new
network will have 10 gigabits per second bandwidth to all major
Australian capital cities and to international R&E peering points in
Hawaii and the west coast of North America. AARNet also delivers
commodity/transit Internet services to its University and research
organisation members. The presentation will cover the design and
implementation of AARNet's new network with an emphasis on additional
capacity and performance, improved diversity and availability and
servicing research, educational and scientific sites in regional,
outback Australia.
