Abilene Developments Federal Network-International Transit allowable on a bilateral basis both parties need to agree and work with I2 to establish transit IPv6 Multicast enabled today MPLS handled on a case-by-case basis work has been done to establish an automated tool to set up LSPs across the backbone (BRUW)

TransPAC2

TransPAC2 Network Goals Production networking to facilitate research between US and Asia Cooperation with Internet2 HOPI project US-Asian cooperation on “lightpath” technologies will be crucial to future development Initial assets will allow for MPLS and GMPLS- like experimentation, with future equipment possibly supporting layer 2 and layer 1 services Security coordination Measurement coordination

TransPAC2 Network Overview OC-192 circuit between Tokyo and Los Angeles Japanese side lands on APAN Tokyo XP router (AS7660) US side lands on US TransPAC router (AS22388) peerings with major North American networks: Abilene, ESNET, Canarie, DREN, NISN, NLR, etc. Intra-Asian connections: Tokyo and Hong Kong (2.5G) - link owner NICT-Japan operational today Tokyo to Singapore (TBD) - funded by NII-Japan operational Q1 2006 Backup agreements JGN2, SINET and TransPAC2 circuits all provide mutual backup to each other

TransPAC2 Network Futures Much of what TransPAC2 will become is dependent on the next year of infrastructure development in the US, Asia and Europe NLR places a heavy emphasis on point to point lambda networking and Layer2 VLANs HOPI will be experimenting over the next two years with hybrid approaches to point to point “lightpath” connections and how to signal those connections Asian networks continue to build out optical networks in individual countries GEANT2 initiative in Europe will link many countries at the optical layer Who else? TransPAC2 is designed to adapt and participate in these changes, while maintaining production connections between the US and Asia

TransPAC2 Project Futures Network security has become extremely important over the past several years TransPAC2 engineers will focus on bridging the information gap between the US and Asian engineering staffs Network measurement has moved beyond MRTG Who’s trading what Eminem song with whom? What’s happening on my network? When was I last attacked? Why is my multicast stream intermittent? Where is all of my traffic going? How long are TCP flows taking to complete between Asia and Europe?
