  • developed by a consortium of universities and
    technology companies in 1996 to provide vast
    improvements in connection speeds. The goal of
    the project has always been to stay three to four
    years ahead of what is commercially available
    through the public Internet.
  • Provides data at 10gbps (gigabits per second)
  • More than 227 universities, libraries, public
    schools and research institutions are connected
    to Internet2. The network connects to more than
    57 international high-capacity networks.
  • Peer-to-peer applications, high-definition
    videoconferencing, remote manipulation of lab
    equipment, and distributed computing are all
    applications that are enabled by Internet2.

Example of Internet 2 Use
  • Internet2 nodes are connected to the Abilene
    national backbone through regional fiber networks
    with almost unlimited bandwidth capacity.
  • Musical Webcasts over the Internet can transfer
    up to 250 megabytes of data per second over
    Internet2. This is more than 4,000 times the rate
    of a standard dial-up modem and more than 800
