INTERNET2, STANFORD, AND DOE DEMONSTRATE END-TO-END INTERNET QUALITY OF
SERVICE AT SC2000 CONFERENCE

Dallas, Texas--November 15, 2000--The first-ever demonstration of end-to-end
IP quality of service (QoS) over the Abilene backbone occurred last week at
SC2000. The Internet2(R) Abilene backbone network and ESnet's Department of
Energy (DOE) Science Grid QoS testbed have partnered with CENIC's CalREN2
gigaPoP, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL), and Stanford
University to provide a precise end-to-end "Premium" service for two
QoS-sensitive applications over wide-area, interdomain paths. Effective
protection of application traffic was demonstrated by inducing heavy
congestion at several points along the network paths. For comparison,
application traffic was dynamically marked and unmarked at the network edge
for Premium treatment and application quality with and without demonstrated.

"Advanced applications such as those demonstrated here will require
end-to-end differentiated network services before they can be widely
deployed. Our responsive, interactive high fidelity internet audio
application are not possible without this kind of support from the network,"
says Chris Chafe, Director of the Center for Computer Research in Music and
Acoustics and Associate Professor of Music, Stanford University.

The QoS network design in this demo reflects the architecture of the
Internet2 QBone Premium Service, which builds upon implementations of IETF
differentiated services forwarding primitives in the routers and provides
near-zero packet loss and bounded jitter to the application streams. Through
precise service level specifications at inter-provider boundaries, this
architecture supports a well-defined end-to-end service over multiple
networks, each of which is independently designed, implemented, and operated
(potentially quite differently). For example, in this demonstration,
different routers and low-level queuing mechanisms were used within Abilene
and ESnet.

"Working with Abilene, we have refined our QoS peering to provide an premium
service capability over the concatenation of our two networks. This is an
important step to enabling the use of QoS-needy advanced applications
between Internet2 universities and DOE laboratories," says Jim Leighton,
Energy Sciences Network Project Manager.

"We are excited that, going forward, the backbone QoS capabilities of
Abilene and ESnet that have been demonstrated here will remain in place and
form a persistent core for the QBone testbed," says Ben Teitelbaum, Senior
Network Engineer, Internet2 and Advanced Network & Services.

UIC REMOTELY DEPLOYS VR FOR TELE-COLLABORATION; LINKS TWO MAJOR CONFERENCES 
VIA STAR TAP

Chicago, IL -- Last week, scientists and engineers at the University of 
Illinois at Chicago's Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) remotely 
deployed virtual reality (VR) equipment in Israel, linking its Telecom 2000 
conference to SC2000 in Dallas, the SARA institute in Amsterdam and EVL, 
for a four way, real-time tele-collaboration that Israeli networking 
engineer Hank Nussbacher deemed a "resounding success."

The EVL team, unable to attend the November 7-9 Israeli conference only 
after shipping an ImmersaDesk(R) there, attempted to remotely setup and 
test its VR system using the advanced research networks in place between 
the US and Israel. Using video teleconferencing, a team from Israel's 
Technion University got instruction in setting up the system, and testing 
and debugging the applications.

Using CAVERNsoft -- the CAVE Research Network communications toolkit -- the 
two teams had everything operational in less than one day. In addition to 
enabling collaborative applications, the toolkit proved invaluable for 
debugging the tracker hardware during the testing phase, when video-aided 
communication failed to adequately convey the problem.

"Ordinarily we fly a team to conferences to perform on-site management of 
devices and networking," said EVL's Jason Leigh. "This event advances our 
goal to see tele-immersion replace commuting someday. We're particularly 
encouraged that what began as a routine tele-immersion demonstration, 
became a means to test the networks, software and viability of 
tele-immersion as a teaching tool."

For three days, an enthralled audience in Israel, which included university 
researchers and government ministers from Israel, Australia and Turkey, 
interacted in real-time with EVL student Chris Scharver, who was at SC2000 
in the National Computational Science Alliance booth (the Alliance is based 
at UIUC's National Center for Supercomputing Applications). Researchers in 
Amsterdam and EVL took turns interacting as well.

Scharver demonstrated global earthquake, climate and solar electromagnetic 
models developed using EVL's TIDE (Tele-Immersive Data Explorer), a 
collaborative, immersive environment for querying and visualizing data from 
massive and distributed datastores. The data was supplied by SPARC (Space 
Physics & Aeronomy Research Collaboratory), a collaborative group at the 
University of Michigan that uses advanced visualization and immersive VR to 
better understand the structure and dynamics of the Earth.

EVL was invited by Israel's Ministry of Culture to attend Telecom 2000, 
Israel's largest telecommunications conference, to showcase VR equipment 
because of interest by university researchers. The Israeli Academic 
Network, run by the Israeli University Computer Center (IUCC), is a partner 
of EVL's NSF-funded Euro-Link project. Euro-Link was established in 1999 to 
encourage the interconnection of U.S. and European research and education 
networks, in support of advanced applications, performance monitoring and 
technical evaluation. IUCC connects via STAR TAP to US academic research 
networks.

ABOUT EVL
UIC's EVL is an interdisciplinary graduate research laboratory specializing 
in VR and real-time interactive computer graphics. It is the oldest formal 
university program to offer degrees in electronic visualization. EVL 
receives major funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), and is a 
partner in the National Computational Science Alliance. For more 
information, see <http://www.evl.uic.edu>

ABOUT STAR TAP AND EURO-LINK
The Science, Technology, And Research Transit Access Point, or STAR TAP, is 
a proving ground for long-term interconnection and interoperability of 
advanced international networking. STAR TAP is made possible by major 
funding from the NSF to the University of Illinois at Chicago. The 
NSF-funded Euro-Link program facilitates the connection of European and 
Israeli National Research Networks (NRNs) to US academic networks. 
Euro-Link consortium members are IUCC, NORDUnet, SURFnet, RENATER2 and 
CERN. For more information, see <http://www.startap.net> and 
<http://www.euro-link.org>.

STAR TAP and Euro-Link are service marks of the Board of Trustees of the 
University of Illinois.

SC GLOBAL: THE FIRST TRULY GLOBAL TECHNICAL CONFERENCE PLANNED FOR SC 2001

At SC 2001, to be held November 10-16, 2001, in Denver, a collaboration of 
conference goers will create SC Global: the first truly global technical 
conference supported by Access Grid technology.

The SC Global event will link the SC Core at the Denver Convention Center 
with dozens of SC Constellation sites distributed throughout the world, all 
of which support the Access Grid real-time, Internet-based 
videoconferencing system. The result will be a meeting place for 
multi-national, multi-cultural discussion about the impact of high-end 
computing and communications on science and society.

A rich set of panels, workshops, birds-of-a-feather sessions and invited 
talks will exploit the SC Global infrastructure, and enable communication 
and discussion among the international community and U.S. research-based 
institutions. SC Constellation sites will develop unique local programs 
that combine SC Global with local material.

How to participate:

·       Propose multi-national and multi-site BOFs, panels, workshops
·       Develop remote educational activities
·       Bring unique remote content to technical talks or the show floor
·       Propose an international or U.S. Constellation Site
·       Apply SC Global infrastructure to industrial programs
·       Join the team to help construct and operate SC Global

The annual SC Conference is the premiere technical and industrial meeting 
for high-end networking and computing, and computational science. SC Global 
is being organized by members of the National Computational Science 
Alliance (“the Alliance”), under the leadership of partner Argonne National 
Laboratory.
