Mission Statement

“To develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet and to recreate the partnership among academia, industry and government that fostered today’s Internet in its infancy”

## Introduction:
Network: Abilene
IP-over-DWDM (OC-192c) backbone in partial mesh configuration
39 direct connections (OC-3c  10 Gbps)
3 10 Gbps (10 GE) connections (OC-192c SONET also supported)
7 OC-48c connections & 3 GE connectors
26 connected at OC-12c (622 Mbps) or higher
235 Primary Participants – research universities and labs
125 Sponsored Participants – individual institutions, K-12 schools, museums, libraries, research institutes
34 Sponsored Educational Group Participants (SEGP) – state-based education networks
Testbed: HOPI (Hybrid Optical Packet Infrastructure)
Objective: Evaluate hybrid architecture / new technologies for next-generation Abilene
Resources:
MPLS tunnels across Abilene and its packet switched network
10 GE lambda across NLR
MAN LAN Exchange Facility
10 G Circuit between NYC and London
