Short History of APAN1996.3 The idea of “APAN” was born at APEC Symposiu

m in Japan, hinted by Dr. Steve Goldstein. <Kilnam Chon@KAIST & Michael McRobbie@ANU took t

he lead for realizing the regional broadband networks, APAN.>

1997.6 APAN was established, chaired by Kilnam Chon.1997.8 Michael McRobbie@IU submitted “TransPAC” prop

osal to NSF’s HPIIS solicitation.1998.8 TransPAC was granted as an HPIIS project. <APAN expanded the members as well as the networks.>2004.6 Most APAN members joined an IU-lead proposal fo

r NSF’s IRNC solicitation.2004.7 Shigeki Goto was elected APAN Chair.

APAN Network Topology


APAN Regional Groups


North Asia

Tokyo

Taipei

Hong Kong

SeoulBeijing

North Asia is the core region of APAN:

- fat intra-regional pipes shown left

- inter-regional links of APAN

- backbone links to USA

JP: TransPAC. JGN2, SINET, IEEAF

TW: TWAREN

KR: APII/KREONet2

HK: Gloriad

- peering with DANTE

??: TEIN2

< Blue links are (co-)funded by US or EU.>


South East Asia

South East Asia networks are developing.

Inter-regional links are provided by North Asia.

Each country has her own link to US; some are commercial links.

SG, MY and TH are working for intra-regional links, meeting with TEIN2.

Satellite links are required to cover islands.

SingaporeKuala Lumpur

Bangkok


Oceania

Sydney

AARnet will get the fat pipes to USA, via Hawaii next month.

The link to APAN is via Hawaii or USA.

The direct link between AU and JP is being studied by both governments.


Other regions

- North Asia will make efforts to connect these regions, together with South East Asia; satellite links might be a solution at the initial phase.

- Efforts from EU & US are also expected.


Links between US and JP

SINET: NY OC192

JGN2: CHI OC192

TransPAC: LA OC48

IEEAF: STL OC192

- TransPAC Layer 3 link and JGN2 link are the main APAN links.

- SINET Layer 3 link will provide the backup service for APAN.

- IEEAF 8 X GbE links are for GLIF project.


Two Backbone Networks 　 in JP

• JGN II is a testbed network for e-Science projects as well as advanced networking.

• SINET supports the wide community of education as well as research institutes related to universities.

• Both networks are working together under the competitive environments.

Outline of JGN II Network Outline of JGN II Network


JGN II link to Chicago

• Procket routers are adopted for OC192 SONET circuit for the time being.

• StarLight is an XP focusing on Lambda networks, and the software maintenance for Procket routers has been terminated by Cisco.

• VLAN will be installed between Abilene and APAN via StarLight facilities & IU-NICT’s ONS15454.


Collaborations among multiple Links between US and JP

• The links have their own objectives as well as the policies, defined by the budget.

• Integrated network environments to meet the users’ requirements will be discussed by the engineers, followed by the understandings of the administrators.

• HOPI will be adopted for the smooth developments to Lambda Networks.

Observatory

• Abilene Observatory is being adopted for encouraging network researches:– Netflow Data ( flow-tools, rsync )– Throughput Data ( iperf & BWCTL )– Latency Information (OWAMP )– Usage Data (High Resol. SNMP, RRDtool )– etc.

• User Interface based on Weather Map• Raw data will be provided to authorized research

ers.


IRNC proposals

• APAN is a loosely-coupled network consortium, and didn’t adopt a single proposal to NSF’s IRNC solicitation.– APAN-JP & most APAN members have joined a prop

osal lead by Indiana Univ.– CSTNet & KREONet2 have joined NCSA’s proposal,

Gloriad.– AARNet & WIDE have joined UIC’s proposal.

• All groups have participated APAN Workshop in Cairns after submitting the respective proposals. We have agreed we will work together under the flag “APAN”, though we might belong to different IRNC projects.
