Internet2 geht ans Netz-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- akademischen Hochgeschwindigkeits/projekts Internet2 steht kurz vor ihrem Launch. Auf über 20.000 Kilometer Glasfaser, hauptsächlich von Qwest, werken Cisco-Router mit Nortels Netzwerk/technologien zusammen, um die Terabytes der Universitäten quer durch die USA zu pumpen. Es ist die akademische Welt, in der die kommerzielle ihre Probe hält. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- James Niccolai ... The network, known as Abilene, will act as an important test- bed for developing a new generation of Internet applications and services. Abilene has been in the making for 10 months, and is comprised of 13,000 miles of fiber-optic cable looped between New York and Seattle. Abilene is a key component of Internet2, an initiative led by more than 130 universities working with the government and the IT industry to develop new network services and applications not possible over today's congested public Internet. End users won't be able to log on to Abilene as they do with commercial networks; Abilene's primary purpose is to serve the academic research community. .... "The Internet today has one service to offer: best-effort delivery of IP packets," said Stephen Wolff, executive director of advanced Internet initiatives at Cisco, one of Abilene's three corporate sponsors. .... "We basically want to provide the Internet with the kind of reliability people are accustomed to seeing in their telephone network," echoed Brian McFadden, vice president and general manager of the Carrier Packet Solutions group at Nortel Networks. Cisco, Nortel and Qwest have donated millions of dollars in equipment, infrastructure and other resources to support the project. .... At an official launch event planned for Feb. 24 in Washington, D.C., Abilene participants will demonstrate applications including 30-frame-per-second broadcast-quality video and terabyte-size data library transfers. .... Abilene is one of two major backbones in the Internet2 project, an initiative overseen by the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development. The other network is the very high-performance Backbone Network Service, provided by the National Science Foundation and MCI WorldCom that is also for use by universities and research institutions. Abilene initially will link about 70 universities with a 2.4G bit/sec network running over SONET equipment provided by Nortel. Eventually, it will rein in all 140-plus member universities and increase capacity to 9.6G bit/sec, officials said. Qwest donated 10,000 miles of its fiber-optic network for the venture, while Cisco is providing its advanced 12,000 series gigabit switch routers, Cisco's Wolff said. .... full text http://www.nwfusion.com/news/1999/0212internet2.html -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1999-02-14 comments to [email protected] subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
