THOUSANDS OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO CONNECT TO INTERNET2 BACKBONE
NETWORK
Partnerships with Internet2 Universities and Regional Networks Provide Broad
Access to High-Performance Networks

Washington, DC—March 08, 2001—Abilene, a nationwide Internet2® network,
today announced state education networks in Michigan, Missouri, Oregon,
Virginia and Washington will establish connectivity under a new policy that
allows expanded access to the high-performance educational backbone.
Partnerships with Internet2 universities and regional networking
organizations will provide institutions such as elementary schools,
secondary schools, community colleges, museums and libraries access to the
national high-performance network.

“Expanded access to Abilene supports the primary Internet2 goal of
facilitating the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to
the global Internet and especially the broader educational community,” said
Douglas E. Van Houweling, president and CEO of the University Corporation
for Advanced Internet Development, the organization leading both the
Internet2 and Abilene projects.

Access to the high-performance backbone, leveraged by network upgrades at
the state and local networks upgrades, will allow expanded use of
applications that don’t work well or at all on today’s Internet. Abilene
access for:

 + Washington K-20 Education Network in Washington State will enable a new
system of network-accessible professional development video library for
teachers and education professionals

 + Oregon Public Education Network (OPEN) in Oregon will extend the
capability of the Cyberschool program to work with partners at public
schools around the country.

 + Net.Work.Virginia Next Generation in Virginia will support the work of
the Virtual Institute for Technology Advancement in Education for
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (VITAE-HBCU)

 + MOREnet in Missouri will allow fourth-grade students to access online
historical information available in rich multimedia formats from
Presidential libraries and public television

§       MichNet operated by Merit in Michigan will enable researchers to 
explore
the use of an advanced form of virtual reality in distance education

State networks in Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma and Rhode Island are expected to
be approved for access to Abilene in the near future. Access to Abilene is
now available to educational organizations through partnerships with
organizations with existing connections

About Abilene
Abilene, an advanced backbone network developed through a collaboration
among Qwest Communications, Cisco Systems, Nortel Networks, Indiana
University and the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development
(UCAID), supports the development and deployment of the new applications
being developed within the Internet2 community. Abilene connects regional
network aggregation points, called gigaPoPs, to support the work of
Internet2 universities as they develop advanced Internet applications. For

At the suggestion of Heather Boyles, I would like to provide a 
general description of a solicitation that DOE has on the street at 
the moment--proposals are due on March 15--that may be of interest to 
some of you.  This solicitaion, National Collaboratories and High 
Performance Networking is part of a larger initiative referred to as 
"Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing (SciDAC)."   My 
office has two calls--the one for National Collaboratories and High 
Performance Networking and another for Integrated Software 
Infrastructure Centers.  Each of the other four program offices in 
the Office of Science have calls for tera-scale applications.  For 
example, Biological and Environmental Research plans to support the 
development of simulation models for decadal to multi-century climate
prediction in conjunction with the Climate Change Prediction Program 
(CCPP), a part of the U.S. Global Change Research Program.  (for more
details see http://www.sc.doe.gov/production/grants/grants.html)

The goals of this new program, SciDAC, are to

----Create a new generation of Scientific Simulation Codes that take 
full advantage of the extraordinary computing capabilities of 
terascale computers. 
----Create the Mathematical and Computing Systems Software to enable 
the Scientific Simulation Codes to effectively and efficiently use 
terascale computers. 
----Create a Collaboratory Software Environment to enable 
geographically separated scientists to effectively work together as a
team and to facilitate remote access to both facilities and data. 

It is the latter goal that is of interest to this group.  The call I 
referred to above for National Collaboratories and High Perfomance 
Networking is focused on research and development to support DOE-
specific activities in three areas: 

1) high performance middleware services that include, but are not 
limited to, software to allow applications to adapt to changing  
network conditions and software that provides ease of collaboration 
for distributed teams; 
2) innovative, high performance network research that includes, but 
is not limited to, high performance transport protocols, network 
measurement and analysis, and traffic engineering tools and services 
which are focused on improving the end-to-end performance for data 
intensive scientific applications; and 
3) collaboratories to test and validate the enabling technologies for
discipline-specific applications.  

I expect to have about fifteen pilot collaboratory proposals.  These 
will be reviewed in a panel on Thursday, April 19 in the DC area 
(location TBD).  There will also be a number of collaborative 
technology middleware proposals that will be reviewed in panels on 
Tues and Wed of that same week.  Since I'm expecting a large number 
of proposals, I'm having to expand the pool of reviewers I can call 
upon.  If you would be willing to assist with one of the panel 
reviews or to provide a mail review, please let me know (with a cc 
).
  Thanks.

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mar. 19, 2001

Web100 Takes First Step Towards Improving Network Performance

PITTSBURGH -- The Web100 Project has distributed the initial version 
of software that aims to bring data-transmission rates of 100 
megabits per second to users of high-speed networks. Select 
researchers at universities and government laboratories are getting a 
sneak peek at the Web100 software to do real-world testing and 
provide feedback to developers.

"Today's release of the Web100 software promises improved network 
performance at a time when bandwidth is increasingly precious," said 
Tom Greene, the Senior Program Director for Infrastructure in the 
National Science Foundation's Division of Advanced Networking 
Infrastructure and Research.  "This type of middleware can help us 
use existing resources more efficiently."

While most home users still connect to the Internet with a 56K modem, 
universities, research centers and some businesses today have 
connections capable of transmitting data at 100 megabits per second 
(Mbps) or higher. Research has shown, however, that users rarely see 
performance greater than three Mbps. Web100 researchers traced the 
problem to software that governs the Transmission Control Protocol 
(TCP) -- a "language" that computers use to communicate across 
networks. Networking experts are able to overcome this limit by fine 
tuning connections with adjustments to TCP.

The Web100 software will eventually allow users to take full 
advantage of available network bandwidth without the help of a 
networking expert. Web100 programmers are refining TCP software in 
the Linux operating system to automatically achieve the highest 
possible transfer rate. "Our goal is to make it easier for everyone 
to move data across networks at 100 megabits per second or higher," 
said Matt Mathis, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center network research 
coordinator and one of the principal investigators of Web100.

Twenty-one researchers at ten institutions -- including Stanford 
Linear Accelerator Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence 
Berkeley Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory -- will test the 
initial release of Web100 software.

At the University of Michigan, for example, Brian Athey will test the 
Web100 software for use with the Visible Human Project. Athey is 
working with Art Wetzel at PSC to develop applications that allow 
students to view large Visible Human data-sets over high-speed 
networks. "In situations of marginal bandwidth availability," said 
Athey, "tuning could make the difference between a choppy and 
unusable 500 Kbps to 1 Mbps stream to a perfectly useful 2 Mbps to 5 
Mbps stream."

The Web100 Project is a collaboration of Pittsburgh Supercomputing 
Center, the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National 
Center for Supercomputing Applications. More information can be found 
at: http://www.web100.org/
