The Advanced Network Technology Center (ANTC) was founded at the University of Oregon to develop and implement state-of-the-art networking technologies, both in the Northwest region and around the world.

STANDARDS BASED ACTIVITIES

We have several ongoing projects that include the innovative use of IP multicast, IPv6, and RSVP. The Oregon Internet Exchange (Oregon-IX) is a regional exchange point serving Oregon. In addition, the Routing Arbiter Project maintains more general information on routing exchange services. The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) is an NSF funded project aimed at the deployment and integration of networking technology in the developing world. Oregon Gigapop is the Oregon connection point for the Internet2 Abilene network; a high-speed research network.

INTERNETWORKING CURRICULUM

To meet the growing demand for networking expertise in Oregon and around the world, ANTC is assisting in the design and implementation of internetworking curriculum at the UO.

STANDARDS BASED ACTIVITIES

ANTC is active in the development of tools used in development and analysis of the global Internet Routing system. ANTC also supports the Route Views Project to capture multiple views of the global routing table. MOAT offers some elementary processing of the tables as well the ability to create VRML objects representing AS connectivity. ANTC is also active in the MBONE Deployment Working Group (MBONED). The 6BONE Deployment Group is instrumental in early global deployment of the IPv6 networking protocol. Tthe GateD Consortium is actively implementing internet multicast routing protocols. ANTC is also active in various standards and industry groups, like ISOC. These activities ensure that the University remains at the forefront of the development and deployment cycle for emerging technologies, such as RSVP.
