1. International Networkingat Indiana University James Williams Director, International Networking williams@indiana.edu

2. Indiana University’s commitment to international activities “The value of an IU education cannot be contained within one classroom, one state, or one continent. It spans the globe.” President Michael McRobbie February 15, 2008

3. Topics Wandering general observations A bit of international networking history Where are we today? The global picture of international networking Where are we headed at Indiana?

5. To provide for sharing of expensive/scarce resources (telescopes, microscopes, physical locations …)

6. To facilitate access to scientific materials and databases

7. To enable one-way and site-to-site telepresence (remote medical activities)

10. TransPAC – connecting Indiana to Asia

11. Michael moves on, Jim moves in…

13. 35Mbps ATM service from Chicago to Tokyo purchased from AT+T (1998)

14. Cost – about $130,000/month

17. IRNC replaces HPIIS

18. Jim leads TP2 effort

19. TransPAC2 10Gbps – cost about $45,000/month (2005)

21. TransPAC2 Asia regional partner – APAN http://www.apan.net

22. TransPAC2 Japanese partners – National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and the National Institute of Informatics (NII)

25. Connection to Pakistan funded by US National Science Foundation and Pakistan Higher Education Commission

30. We have two new, large NSF awards – ACE and TP3 (map next)

31. We have significant international partnerships with other NRENS

32. We are investigating workshops as a mechanism for strengthening international collaborations [US-India; US-Vietnam; US-Czech Republic].See: http://internationalnetworking.indiana.edu/

33. Two new initiatives/networks America Connects to Europe (ACE) TransPAC3: US connection to Asia

35. PI: Jim Williams

36. Partners: APAN, TEIN3, NICT-Japan, NII-Japan, CERNET – China, DLT, others…

37. Multiple 10G connections from the US to Asia

38. Connections continued to South East Asia and South Asia

39. Connection to TEIN3 network provides link to Europe

40. Connection to Taj network provides second link to Asia, Europe and North Africa

42. PI: Jim Williams

43. Partners: DANTE, NYSERNet, Internet2, DLT and others…

44. Multiple 10G connections between the US and Europe

45. Connections continued across GN3 and TEIN3 to Asian and TP3

46. Will partner with GLORIAD to provide backup and service redundancy

49. UT-Knoxville is home to the GLORAID/Taj projects which also supply global bandwidth

50. Florida International University supplies US-Latin/South America connectivity

51. Georgetown and Duke have well developed international outreach activities and campuses in the Middle East and Asia

52. MIT has a well-known partnership with Singapore.

54. So, where are we headed at Indiana? Focus some attention on underserved areas (Africa, Central Asia, South Asia) Provide services beyond bandwidth (utilization, e-2-e, DC, security) Develop better tools for scientists Work as a community to being planning for future science experiments (gene sequencing; SKA; “brighter” LHC; ITER)
