Abilene peering

STAR TAP• Bilateral peering over ATM switch

Abilene core router node• NYC, LA, SUNNYVALE

Via gigapop or other intermediary• AmPATH, CALREN2, PNWGP

Topology Working Group

Charter revision in process–www.internet2.edu/topology

Membership is open to Internet2 members and MoU partners with the consent of the chair

• Paul Love• epl@internet2.edu

Interconnections

Points of interconnection• Domestic• International

Technology of interconnection• ATM (STAR TAP, existing NGIXes, NYC)• GigE (P/NW GP)• POS (NYC)• Optical

Resource Accessibility

The WG is adding the goal to identify specific resources needed by members of Internet2. These resources may be either domestic or international. Examples are

• Specialized laboratories• Historic data• Observatories• Etc

Conclusion

The Topology WG is redefining itself

New members will be welcome if they have an interest

Open to staff of Internet2 members, MoU partners, and US NGI agencies
