High Level Use Cases
Users want to:
- download a public an unrestricted dataset
- download a protected an embargoed dataset for which the platform has granted them access
- use a public an unrestricted dataset on EC2
- use a protected an embargoed dataset for which the platform has granted them access on EC2
- use a public an unrestricted dataset on Elastic MapReduce
- use a protected an embargoed dataset for which the platform has granted them access on Elastic MapReduce
...
- enforce access restrictions on protected datasets
- log downloads
- log EC2/EMR usage
- figure out how to monitor user usage such that we could potentially charge them for usage
- think about how to minimize costs
- think about how to ensure that users sign a EULA before getting access to data

The Pacific Northwest Gigapop is the point of presence for the Internet2/Abilene network in the Pacific Northwest. The PNWGP is connected to the Abilene backbone via a 10 GbE link. In turn, the Abilene Seattle node is connected via OC-192 192 links to both Sunnyvale, California and Denver, Colorado.
PNWPG offers two types of Internet2/Abilene interconnects: Internet2/Abilene transit services and Internet2/Abilene peering at Pacific Wave International Peering Exchange. See Participant Services for more information.
