Internet2 Mary Kratz, MT(ASCP) Internet2 Health Science Project Manager
People on the Internet Millions of People Source:Nua Internet Surveys
Yesterday’s Internet • Thousands of users • Remote login, file transfer • Interconnect mainframe computers • Applications capitalize on underlying technology
Today’s Internet • Millions of users • Web, email, low-quality audio & video • Interconnect personal computers and servers • Applications adapt to underlying technology
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)
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
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
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
Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet. • Enable new generation of applications • Re-create leading edge R&E network capability • Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet
Internet2 Focus Areas • Advanced Network Infrastructure • Middleware • Engineering • Partnerships • Advanced Applications
Internet2 Network Infrastructure • Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) capacity today • GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points • Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop
