Proposal by Asia Broadband Strategic Committee
2010
Along with increased information flow within
Asia, it is forecast that international
information distribution will be balanced in 2010
in terms of volume.

Short History of APAN

• 1996.3 The idea of APAN was born at APEC
  Symposium in Japan, hinted by Dr. Steve
  Goldstein.
• ltKilnam Chon_at_KAIST Michael McRobbie_at_ANU took
  the lead for realizing the regional broadband
  networks, APAN.gt
• 1997.6 APAN was established, chaired by Kilnam
  Chon.
• 1997.8 Michael McRobbie_at_IU submitted TransPAC
  proposal to NSFs HPIIS solicitation.
• 1998.8 TransPAC was granted as an HPIIS project.
• ltAPAN expanded the members as well as the
  networks.gt
• 2004.6 Most APAN members joined an IU-lead
  proposal for NSFs IRNC solicitation.
• 2004.7 Shigeki Goto was elected APAN Chair.

APAN Regional Groups

North Asia
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

Blue links are (co-)funded by US or EU.gt
Tokyo
Seoul
Beijing
Taipei
Hong Kong

South East Asia
Bangkok
Kuala Lumpur
Singapore
South East Asia networks are developing. Inter-reg
ional 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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Links between US and JP
IEEAF STL OC192
TransPAC LA OC48
JGN2 CHI OC192
SINET NY 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.

14
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.

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-NICTs ONS15454.

18
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
  researchers.

IRNC proposals

• APAN is a loosely-coupled network consortium, and
  didnt adopt a single proposal to NSFs IRNC
  solicitation.
• APAN-JP most APAN members have joined a
  proposal lead by Indiana Univ.
• CSTNet KREONet2 have joined NCSAs proposal,
  Gloriad.
• AARNet WIDE have joined UICs 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.
