SDSC (USA) [ppt] [htm]
This session will provide the latest information on developments in performance measurement and monitoring tools and infrastructure efforts, including efforts to make deployments compatible in support of cross-domain performance analysis. Presentations about the NLANR AMP project, the Internet2 and GEANT2 joint development work on the perfSONAR project, deployments in APAN and CLARA will be included. Discussion will focus on interconnecting these deployments to support international end-to-end performance monitoring and problem resolution.

Interconnecting RONs and NRENs and national infrastructure: emerging models for dark-fiber based networks and other optical networking trends in the global R&E community
Introduction
- Ana Preston, Internet2 (USA)
South America: Building optical networks in Brasil: experiences and case study
- Michael Stanton, RNP/CLARA (Brasil) [ppt] [htm]
North America: RONs in the US and National Infrastructure
- Dale Smith, University of Oregon/Quilt (USA) [ppt] [htm]
- Paul Schopis, OARNET (USA)
[ppt] [htm]
Europe - Perspectives: Cross Border Fiber - towards the revolution in NREN international connectivity
- Artur Binczewski, PSCN (Poland) [ppt] [htm]
Czech Republic and cross border connections
- Stanislav Sima, CESNET (Czech Republic) [ppt] [htm]
Cross border fibre and national use of european fibre. A new challenge
- Dai Davies, DANTE/GN2 (Europe) [ppt] [htm]
This panel will aim at discussing issues around interconnecting dark fiber-based networks (either regional optical networks - RONS or National Research and Education Networks) across borders and the relationship of these to national and/or continental-wide infrastructure.
During the panel, we will have several presentations from around the globe that will present case studies (in the context of a RON or a NREN) in a particular region. Perspectives will be shared on what these emerging optical/dark-based networks and organizations are doing for connecting to other similar regionals or national infrastructure and what the issues and challenges are in doing so, both technical, cost and organizationally.
