HOPI Project - Summary
In the near future we will see a richer set of capabilities available to network designers and end users
Core IP packet switched networks
A set of optically switched waves available for dynamic provisioning
Fundamental Question:  How will the core Internet architecture evolve?
Examine a hybrid of shared IP packet switching and dynamically provisioned optical lambdas
HOPI Project – Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure
Have created a whitepaper – see http://hopi.internet2.edu
Immediate Goals
Implement testbed over the next year
Coordinate and experiment with other similar projects
