IRNC-BackBone- TransPAC4 - Pragmatic Application-Driven International Networking

TransPAC4是一种跨组织的方法，提供服务和带宽，将美国的科学研究人员与亚洲的同行连接起来。这种连通性对研究环境有直接影响，还可以预见未来的应用和技术进步。印第安纳大学(IU)通过与亚洲地区伙伴关系的合作伙伴关系领导着TransPAC4合作，合作伙伴包括：亚太高级网络(APAN)、跨欧亚信息网络(TEIN)和向欧洲交付高级网络技术(Dante)项目。研究和教育网络合作伙伴包括日本国立信息和通信技术研究所(NICT)、日本国家信息学研究所(NII)、新加坡高级研究和教育网络(SingAREN)和台湾国家网络。国内合作伙伴包括Internet2、能源科学网络(ESnet)和Pacific Wave的国际对等设施。除了以10G-100G电路和相关服务的形式提供高性能网络容量外，该项目还专注于增加利用这些链接所需的合作伙伴关系，包括但不限于不断增长的地球科学、生物信息学和粒子物理社区。TransPAC4合作扩展并加强了亚太地区的终端用户参与度和运营整合。参与者之间的密切合作有助于最大限度地提高美国与亚洲的连通性，增加合作，部署动态电路服务以满足高带宽应用的需求，并通过替代电路提高可靠性。该项目还扩展了软件定义网络(SDN)和网络加速服务的使用。

TransPAC4 is a cross-organizational approach to provide services and bandwidth connecting scientific researchers in the US with their counterparts in Asia. This connectivity has an immediate impact on the research environment, and also anticipates future application and technology advances.Indiana University (IU) leads the TransPAC4 Collaboration in a cooperative partnership with Asian regional partnerships including: Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN), the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN), and the Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe (DANTE) project. Research and Education networking partners include the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), the Japanese National Institute of Informatics (NII), the Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN), and the Taiwan National Network. Domestic partners include Internet2, the Energy Sciences network (ESnet), and Pacific Wave's international peering facility.In addition to providing high performance network capacity in the form of 10G-100G circuits and associated services, the project focuses on increasing the partnerships needed to take advantage of these links, including but not limited to growing communities in geosciences, bioinformatics, and particle physics. The TransPAC4 Collaboration expands and enhances end user engagement and operational integration in Asia-Pacific. Close cooperation among participants serves to maximize US-Asia connectivity, increase collaborations, deploy dynamic circuit services to meet the needs of high-bandwidth applications, and increase reliability through alternative circuits. The project also extends the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN)and network acceleration services.
