Internet2 Priorities 2004Internet2 Industry Strategy CouncilDouglas Van Houweling

2

Fundamental Questions

What does Internet2 community (and the rest of the world) require from the Internet and its applications?

What should the Internet2 community do to address those requirements?

What specific steps should we take to move forward?

3

Strategic Foci

Address the advanced networking needs and interests of the research & education community

Provide leadership in the evolution of the global Internet

Leverage strategic relationships among academia, industry and government

Catalyze activities that cannot be accomplished by individual organizations

Implement a systems approach towards a scalable and vertically integrated advanced networking infrastructure

Focus on financially feasible, affordable, and deployable technologies and solutions

Cyberinfrastructure (NSF & DoE)

International ConnectionsEnd-to-end PerformanceNSF Middleware InitiativeCyber TrustHybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI)

With our members –• Organizing and leading the community to acquire the

resources required to sustain momentum

Overall leadership from Gary Bachula

10

International Connections

Now multiple NSF agreements • Different regions of the world• Different types of connectivity & research

Also various uncoordinated donated infrastructure

Our international partners could work more effectively if they had a coordinated point of contact

Working with our members to prepare a coordinated proposal

11

End-to-end Performance

Department of Energy solicitation asks for work that is remarkably similar to the PIPES (End-to-End Performance Initiative Performance Environment System)

Working with members on an integrated proposal

12

Federated Authentication

Scalable, decentralized infrastructureCritical to a broad range of initiativesBeing adopted and implemented

• Industry• International

Middleware is an increasingly enabling element

Examples: Shibboleth, InCommon Federation

13

Security

Require network security approaches that:• Minimally compromise network performance and allow

applications requiring advanced network services to function• Sustain, in so far as possible, the end-to-end nature of the

Internet architecture

Network security, host software, and middleware become inter-dependent

Overall leadership from Ken Klingenstein• Security at Line Speed (SALSA) steering group

• Additional staff on assignment from university and corporate members

Industry Strategy Council Role

Founding resolution:• The Industry Strategy Council (ISC) shall advise the

Trustees on matters related to strategic issues concerning advanced networking and applications development from the industry perspective and to help focus the technology transfer aspects of the Internet2 initiatives.

• Unless otherwise directed, the ISC will meet twice a year. The Chair of ISC and the President/CEO of Internet2 will jointly develop the agenda for each meeting.

• Following each meeting, the ISC will forward to the Board a written report summarizing issues considered, conclusions reached and any recommendations the ISC may have for initiation or revision of Internet2 programs, priorities and policies relating to the subject area of ISC.
