IRNC:ProNet: TransPAC3 - Asia-US High Performance International Networking

TransPAC3是一个基于现有TransPAC2跨组织项目的持续项目。它将提供千兆带宽和服务，将美国的研究人员与亚洲的研究人员联系起来，并利用这些领域的最新技术进步。TransPAC3合作项目的研究和教育网络覆盖了除朝鲜、文莱、缅甸和蒙古以外的整个亚洲。印第安纳大学将领导TransPAC3合作项目，与亚太先进网络（APAN）、向欧洲交付先进网络技术（DANTE）建立合作伙伴关系，并与Internet2和其他通过该项目相互连接的研究和教育网络进行协调。在亚洲的合作将直接连接到东京的APAN XP，并从那里连接到亚洲的15个国家。transspac3将经由香港和CNHI交换点连接到中国，并经由新加坡连接到跨欧亚信息网络（TEIN3）。TEIN3网络目前连接12个亚洲国家和欧洲，另有7个国家即将连接。DANTE是东北亚、东南亚和南亚TEIN3网络的运营商，几乎连接了亚洲这些地区的所有国家。TransPAC3最初将在亚洲和美国之间部署20gbps的带宽，使用10G运营商服务产品。TransPAC3将在第一年和第二年在太平洋波和东京之间部署一条10gbps的链路。另一条10gbps的链路将由日本NICT提供，NSF无需支付任何费用。该奖项的第三年将随着需求和价格的变化而扩大。随着40Gbps和100Gbps在跨太平洋距离上变得可用和负担得起，它们将成为提供服务的一部分。该提案完全符合IRNC招标的指导方针，并将扩展和加强安全、身份管理、测量和操作集成方面的服务。我们吗?亚洲互联互通需要各方密切合作，本项目将由一个协作团队组成。安全是各方关注的重大问题，也是《建议》的重点。PI已经提出并打算提供精确和有用的测量技术部署以及领先的电路服务，以满足高带宽应用。消除昂贵链接的重复应该会降低总成本。与之前的IRNC奖项一样，预计获奖者？美国的transspac3合作将为美国研究人员与亚洲研究人员互动和合作提供高度扩展的机会。π吗?两国近期在将巴基斯坦与全球研发基础设施对接方面的合作继续取得丰硕成果。整合研究和教育的多样性是这一提议的重要组成部分。PI计划与印第安纳大学的Gerald L. Bepko实习项目合作，扩大教育范围，并将多样性融入TransPAC3项目，目标是识别、联系和与服务不足的学生合作，提高他们在信息技术方面的知识和能力。

TransPAC3 is a continuing project building on the existing TransPAC2 cross-organization project. It will provide multi-gigabit bandwidth and services connecting researchers in the US with their counterparts in Asia and utilizing the current technological advances in those areas. The research and education networks included in the TransPAC3 collaboration cover all of Asia excluding only North Korea, Brunei, Myanmar, and Mongolia. Indiana University will lead the TransPAC3 Collaboration in a cooperative partnership with the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN), Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe (DANTE), and in coordination with Internet2 and other research and education networks that are interconnected through the project. The collaboration in Asia will connect to the APAN XP in Tokyo directly, and from there to 15 countries in Asia. TransPAC3 will connect to China via Hong Kong and the CNHI Exchange Point and to the Trans-Eurasian Information Network (TEIN3) network via Singapore. The TEIN3 network currently provides connectivity to 12 Asian countries and Europe with 7 additional countries soon to be connected. DANTE is the operator of the TEIN3 network in North, South East, and South Asia and connects almost all countries in those parts of Asia.TransPAC3 will initially deploy 20 Gbps of bandwidth between Asia and the US using 10G carrier service offerings. TransPAC3 will deploy one 10 Gbps link between Pacific Wave and Tokyo in years 1 and 2. A second 10 Gbps link will be provided by NICT, Japan, at no cost to NSF. In Year 3 of the award this will be expanded as demand and pricing evolve. As 40Gbps and 100Gbps become available and affordable at trans-Pacific distance they will become part of the provided service.Intellectual MeritThis proposal rests well within the guidelines of the IRNC solicitation and will expand and enhance services in security, identity management, measurement, and operational integration. US ? Asia connectivity requires close cooperation between the participants, and this project will consist of a collaborative team. Security is a major issue for all concerned and is a focus of the proposal. The PI has proposed and intends to provide deployment of accurate and useful measurement technology as well as leading edge circuit services to meet high bandwidth applications. Eliminating duplication of expensive links should decrease overall costs.Broader ImpactAs with the previous IRNC award, it is expected that the awardee?s TransPAC3 collaboration will provide highly expanded opportunities for US researchers to interact and collaborate with their fellow researchers in Asia. The PI?s recent cooperation in connecting Pakistan to the global R&E infrastructure continues to show fruitful results. Integrating diversity in research and education is a strong component in this proposal. The PI has plans to partner with the Gerald L. Bepko Internship Program at Indiana University to extend educational outreach and integrate diversity into the TransPAC3 project, with the goal to identify, connect, and work with underserved students and advance their knowledge and ability in information technology.
