  3. Internet2 Partnerships • Internet2 universities are recreating the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy • Industry • Government • International

  4. 3Com Advanced Network & Services Alcatel Ameritech AT&T Cabletron Systems Cisco Systems IBM ITC^Deltacom Lucent Technologies Marconi WorldCom Microsoft Newbridge Networks Netcom Systems Nortel Networks Qwest Communications SBC Communications WCI Cable Internet2 Corporate Partners

  5. Additional Participation • Over 70 Internet2 Corporate Members • Over 30 Affiliate Members • Over 30 International Partners

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

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

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

  9. Yesterday’s Internet • Thousands of users • Remote login, file transfer • Interconnect mainframe computers • Applications capitalize on underlying technology

  10. Today’s Internet • Millions of users • Web, email, low-quality audio & video • Interconnect personal computers and servers • Applications adapt to underlying technology

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

  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

  13. 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

  14. Why University Leadership? • The Internet came from the academic community • Stanford -- the Internet protocols • NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet • CERN -- The WWW protocols • University of Illinois -- The Web browser • Universities’ research and education mission require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it
