The focus of Technology Integration Project is the migration of new technologies from research to production, concentrating on technologies that support the development of new high performance applications. Following technological experiments, the results will provide early exposure, education and training on these new technologies. We are currently planning experiments in the following areas:

Quality of Service: is planning on upgrade our configuration to a PC running FreeBSD and Gated v5.0. This router will then become the direct peer with the vBNS and the campuses in our Gigapop will then peer with that router.

A proposal from the outside service provider has been written and will be submitted for approval for a complete lab of production dual stacked IPv4/IPv6 Unix hosts running web servers as well as other services.

Routing Technologies: Different ways to solve routing problems will be studied. Explicit routing is on the short list; we 1Q1999

  has begun to change the architecture of the vBNS portion of the POP.  Instead of having campuses connect and peer directly with the PSC/vBNS border router, campuses will now peer directly with a Gated based Route Server.  This will allow for greater control of routing between the campuses and the vBNS.

Multicast:   has been active in testing and deploying multicast in 1Q99. We have begun to experiment with PIM DM/SM with a greater number of peering sessions.. We have also decided to proceed with deploying MBGP. Since MBGP is not available (yet) under Gated v5.0, we have chosen to go ahead and test MBGP under Cisco IOS 11.1.24(CC).

now is under pilot test of Fax Data Pumps and Protocols include V.34, V.17, V.29, V.27ter, V.21 Channel 2, T.4, and T.30.  for multi-channel modem and fax; voice, fax and data relay; and integrated voice, fax, and data over IP.

now is working on the first easy-to-use infrastructure for creating XML-based business-to-business applications. this project  allows us to quickly automate a variety of business-to-business interactions such as information sharing, syndication, and supply-chain automation. The next Internet wave is business-to-business integration (B2B), in which companies connect their enterprise applications directly to those of their customers, suppliers, and partners.
