Track 2: Networking Infrastructure and Technology

New research and education network infrastructure developments in China and the US

Jacqueline Brown, University of Washington, moderator

This session will focus on the development and deployment status of new hybrid network technologies and services by both the Chinese and US research and education networks.  R&E networks in a number of countries are beginning to develop and deploy a hybrid of circuit or "lightpath" based services and high-performance shared IP services for their higher education and research users.

Focus on Future Collaborations

Don Riley, moderator

This panel will focus on summarizing the key points of the workshop presentations and current collaborations; discussing successful ways and barriers/inhibitors for effective collaboration; identifying potential candidate projects for increased collaboration; and suggesting possible next steps, some of which could result in progress by the next CANS meeting.

Track 2: Networking Infrastructure and Technology
