Abilene Characteristics
2.4 Gbps (OC48) among gigaPoPs, increasing to 9.6 Gbps (OC192)
Connections at 622 Mbps (OC12) or 155 Mbps (OC3)
IP over Sonet technology Access PoPs very close to almost all
of the anticipated university gigaPoPs

Now I know what it is -- but why should I care? “Transfer capability to the global production Internet”
“Coming Soon!” Technology Transfer
• Regional community role • Industry role

Internet2 <--> NGI Relationship
Similar technical objectives Focused on different, but complementary
communities• NGI: Federal Mission agencies• UCAID/Internet2: university research and
education community
Working to interconnect, make interoperable federal research networks and Abilene
