Title:Keeping Up with Network Backbone and Endpoint Traffic Growth (ID: NMD08025)
Author(s):Bob Collie (ENA (Education Networks of America)), William L. Byers (University of Missouri System), Sherilyn Evans (CENIC), Michael Hrybyk (BCNET), and James L. Stewart (Utah Education Network)
Origin:Contributed by or Presented at Net@EDU (State Networks) (02/10/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

What are you doing to meet the exponential growth of network traffic? Are you moving from gigabit to 10-gigabit capacity on the backbone? Are you successfully increasing capacity to university and public education endpoints to gigabit or greater? Is your approach to increase capacity with network-owned fiber or to contract with telcos, or a combination of both? Panelists will share their experiences with and ideas about how a state education network can meet the growing bandwidth demands of their customers.

Transforming Earth Sciences via Next-Generation Internet Linkages Between the Oceans and Classrooms, Laboratories, and Living Rooms

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Transforming Earth Sciences via Next-Generation Internet Linkages Between the Oceans and Classrooms, Laboratories, and Living Rooms (ID: EDU07075)
Author(s):John Delaney (University of Washington)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

New technologies and infrastructure that extend bandwidth and power to the seafloor are being developed within the Ocean Observatories Initiative of the National Science Foundation. A major component of this effort involving construction of major cabled subsea networks is focusing on science and education programs that will make use of this unprecedented interactive access to study the northeast Pacific Ocean. The last frontier on Earth—the deep sea—will be accessible to a global community of scientists, educators, decision makers, and learners of all ages. New technologies will enable new approaches to studies of ocean and earth processes that, for example, regulate global climate, absorb greenhouse gases, generate earthquakes and tsunamis, support major fish stocks, harbor life in the extreme environments of sea floor volcanoes, and form vast mineral resources.

neutrality" principles for the Internet. This factsheet provides a technological backgrounder on what
Comcast is blocking and how the company does it."
