We Need a Vision for the Future
• Over the past 3-4 years, our community has been focused on politics and costs - in particular tactical issues that beg for a long term direction for technology in the R&E community!
• In the past, our community has provided strong leadership, but, of late, has focused on existing services.
• We need to do more!• And recalling history of previous projects and the
evolution of IP is important to understand• It is time for our community to provide strong
leadership and direction
3
Important Ideas
• There are two fundamental ideas to understand• The most important role we can play is innovation -
you are the RONS, universities, and corporations interested in doing new things !• A vision for the future - in 5 years, networking will
have changed drastically, and in 10 years, it will be unrecognizable!
• We need to focus on the future!
4
Community Assets and Infrastructure
• Our community now has available layer 0 through layer 3 services - and at the national, regional, and campus levels
• It has obtained incredible resources and infrastructure making new services and capabilities available to the community
• At the National Level, for example, Internet2 now has full control of waves, both SONET and Ethernet capabilities, and an IP network.

Need for Innovation and Direction!• We need to create innovative ways to utilize the
infrastructure and provide new services! We need a carefully thought out technology direction!• From a community engineering point of view• From a network research point of view• Moreover, it’s not just the network, but a systems approach to
the complete Cyberinfrastructure
• Note that others in the international R&E community, including partnerships with networks like ESnet, are working very hard at this!
• Moreover, corporate enterprises and standard’s bodies are closely watching what we do in this space.
11
Systems Approach
• There are many components to this approach• Creating new network paradigms• With the appropriate middleware components that
can support those network paradigms as well as applications at higher layers in the stack• With the appropriate performance monitoring and
diagnostics systems, again at all layers of the stack• With the appropriate security mechanisms at all
layers
• A Systems approach to CyberInfrastructure
12
Technology Vision• Over the next several months, create a
technology vision• Provide direction for the future• Will be a living document that will insure innovative
use of future developments• Make clear what we do, and also what we don’t do• Make clear which elements of the community do
which pieces, and how partnerships collaborate!
• Essential in this dialog is community input and advice in creating that vision!• We look to the councils and committees like the
NTAC for input!

What are the Implications for Normal Network Operations from T2 to T3?
Example: 13 people (3 Professors and 10 Graduate Students) require ten 3-hour timeslots a month to receive 8 Gigabit data flows.
