Roots of the NSRC
• Started by Randy Bush and John Klensin in late 1980s and early 1990s
• Helped establish the first email systems (FidoNet and/or UUCP) in many countries around the world
• Facilitated the first Internet links in southern Africa in 1988-91 (ZA, BW, NA, ZW, ZM, etc.)
• First NSF grant from CISE formalized the NSRC in 1992• NSRC helped establish the first Internet connections for
– Peru, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Togo, and assistance to many others

Education Outreach and Training• Provides technical information, engineering
assistance, training, and equipment to R&E institutions and ISPs in developing areas
• Helps US scientists with connectivity needs in developing areas
• Facilitates networking to and within the least connected regions of the world
• Works on solving specific communication problems with scientists and engineers on both ends of the connectivity spectrum

Approach and Strategy
• Cultivate cyberinfrastructure by disseminating information, training, and tools to R&E network operators via hands-on workshops and remote assistance
• Gather and distribute donations from Cisco, Google, ISPs, O’Reilly, and other publishers, etc.
• Promote culture of networkers helping each other• Synergize and catalyze local and regional cooperation• Forming and supporting NOGs
– AfNOG, SANOG, PacNOG, WALC, ngNOG, ghNOG
• Leverage our experience and contacts to benefit NSF, IRNC collaborators and our constituency

NSRC Approach
Four prongs:• Campus network design/R&E network
development – Facilitate best practices
• Wireless and wireless sensor networks
• Critical infrastructure and cybersecurity (IXPs, ccTLD registries, DNSSEC, etc.)
• Digitization of scientific and cultural resources

An Example - Ecuador• Worked with the Consorcio Ecuatoriano para el
Desarrollo de Internet Avanzado (CEDIA), FUNDACYT and the National Telecommunications Council (CONATEL) to facilitate advanced network infrastructure and applications, connecting Ecuador to RedCLARA, Internet2, GEANT, etc.
• Assisted Ecuadorian networkers with:– technical information and negotiating for circuits– connecting Ecuadorian scientists with US counterparts– training Ecuadorian R&E network engineers
• This network is actively used by US and Ecuadorian Scientists for Seismic and Volcanology research

Training is only part of the picture…
It's about much more than just connecting switches and routers to build physical networks. NSRC emphasizes knowledge dissemination by helping to develop a community of professionals that will enable continuous and sustainable progress. It really is all about building the human network.

Leveraging NSF Investment
• Since initial NSF award in 1992, NSRC has facilitated distribution of $6,000,000 worth of donated technical reference books and $40,000,000 worth of equipment to engineering and computer science departments, university libraries, and centrally based networking facilities in the poorest and least-connected countries in the world.
• 50% discount from DHL for UO-NSRC account• Extensive volunteer support and pro bono
contributions
