CENIC 2020 & 2021: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead

Categories RENS & NRENS

We look back at CENIC's achievements in 2020 and look ahead to the goals we continue to pursue in 2021.

Network Traffic Analysis Shows Changing Activity Patterns During COVID-19 Pandemic

Even as campuses, schools, libraries, and cultural institutions have closed amid stay-at-home orders, CENIC’s networks have remained a vital part of the Internet ecosystem for online learning and community engagement, remote access to research data and specialized computing facilities, academic medicine and clinical care, and work-from-home operations.

Big Data: How the PRP Enables Scientists to Unlock Genetic Secrets

With innovative networking tools available on the Pacific Research Platform, Professor Alex Feltus at Clemson University in South Carolina analyzes massive genomics datasets to better understand how genes interact to cause disease in humans. His dream is for everyone to have access to the PRP, which would drastically accelerate scientific discovery.

Network Engineers Collaborate in MANRS RPKI Deployment

At a workshop in October, network engineers from CENIC member institutions engaged in technical, hands-on labs and now have the ability to assess their own environments for implementing guidelines for Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) technology. Another workshop will be held in March. Learn how your organization can get involved.

CENIC to Explore Adoption of MANRS Global Initiative to Improve Routing Security

Network operators who take four simple steps to increase routing security will collectively help improve the global Internet’s core. CENIC will lead a collaborative pilot project to explore implementation of MANRS, promoted by the Internet Society. Learn how your organization can get involved.

Pacific Wave and Internet2 to Coordinate Trans-Oceanic Research and Education Network Exchange Point

Internet2 and Pacific Wave will collaborate on a pilot project to support global science research and scholarship through coordinated infrastructure, service integration, and collaborative outreach. The new Atlantic Pacific Research and Education Exchange (AP-REX) will include a 100 Gbps interconnection between US East and West Coast exchange points.

Rivers in the Sky: How PRP Enables Scientists to Predict Extreme Weather

What would it take for weather forecasters to be able to predict seasonal climate effects — such as the extreme drought followed by the extreme floods experienced in the American West over the past few years?

Pacific Wave and CENIC

Pacific Wave continues to be one of CENIC’s major international initiatives, operated in partnership with the Pacific Northwest Gigapop. Undertaken as a part of an effort to improve service to CENIC members, Pacific Wave makes possible improved high-performance connectivity between CalREN and 29 Asia Pacific countries.
