  1. Internet2 Overview By Lee Perlis Membership Services Manager lperlis@internet2.edu Brandeis University

  2. Internet2 FAQ • What (and why) is Internet2? • Will Internet2 replace today’s Internet? • Will there be an Internet3? • How (or when) can I connect to Internet2 from home? • What’s your stock ticker symbol?

  3. People on the Internet Millions of People Source:Nua Internet Surveys

  4. Computers on the Internet Millions of Computers Source:Internet Domain Survey

  5. Yesterday’s Internet • Thousands of users • Remote login, file transfer • Applications capitalize on underlying technology

  6. Today’s Internet • Millions of users • Web, email, low-quality audio & video • Applications adapt to underlying technology

  7. Tomorrow’s Internet • Billions of users and devices • Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video-conference, HDTV) • Interconnect personal computers, servers, and imbedded computers • New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

  8. The Network Performance Gap hype More technological potential Performance performancegap actualperformance Less Time

  9. Today’s Internet Doesn’t • Provide reliable end-to-end performance • Encourage cooperation on new capabilities • Allow testing of new technologies • Support development of revolutionary applications

  10. Download of “The Matrix” DVD

  11. What Is Internet2? A project of the university community working with our corporate colleagues and government to close the gap between the potential and reality of the Internet

  12. Why Internet2? • The Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction • But, only the Internet can: • Accommodate explosive growth • Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration • Internet2 is focused on theInternet’s potential for our future

  13. Why University Leadership? • The Internet came from the higher research university community • Stanford -- the Internet protocols • NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet • CERN -- The WWW protocols • University of Illinois -- The Web browser • Research universities require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it

  14. Internet DevelopmentSpiral Commercialization Privatization ANS/Core PSI MichNet Today’s Internet AOL UUNet SURANet InternetMCI NYSERNet ANS Intelligent Networks GigaBit Testbeds ARPANet NSFNet NGI MBone Internet2 Research and Partnerships Development

  15. Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.

  16. Internet2 Goals • Enable new generation of applications • Re-create leading edge R&E network capability • Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet
