Session Abstract

Internet2 staff and advisory groups have been working throughout the summer and fall to advance the detailed planning for Internet2’s next set of infrastructure technology investments to begin in 2019. During this session, we will begin to provide the outlines of the technical and service planning activities for the new Internet2 network and link our own work to presentations throughout Tech Exchange that have been piloting and researching technologies and service models. We plan to share specific updates on the optical platform, testbed activities, routing and switching topology, capacity planning, automation, API’s and self-service portal capabilities that we hope introduce and seed great conversations at TechEX about next steps in this important community investment.

We invite you to provide input to the planning by joining us on Wednesday, October 16 at 2:10 p.m. for the Next Generation R&E Ecosystem: Interactive Session on Plans for Next Evolution of Internet2 Infrastructure session followed by by discussion break-out sessions at 2:40 p.m.
