Next Generation Virtual Private Networks
Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop advanced technologies to exploit, enhance and demonstrate the capabilities of the Next Generation Internet (NGI). Our scope included both development of novel network technology and demanding NGI applications that were integrated to achieve new opportunities for regional collaboration. Our goal to achieve high bandwidth and low-latency, while simultaneously meeting stringent security requirements, was accomplished by the generation VPN that achieves end-to-end optimization of the network path based upon the requirements of individual applications. In addition to the development of the AA-VPN technology, we advanced and integrated sophisticated medical applications that require the high bandwidth, low-latency capabilities of the NGI. This included a regional medical archive system that enables healthcare institutions to archive and retrieve medical images in a realistic workflow environment for clinical care, research, education, public health, and disaster recovery. Multiple applications also allow pathologists to interact in real time over the AA-VPN including virtual microscopy and content-based image analysis.
