  1. Internet2: What It Is and Why You Care Mary Kratz Manager, Internet2 Health Sciences RSNA November 2001

  2. Agenda • Internet2 as an Organization • National High Performance Networks • Advanced Internet Applications • Internet2 Health Science Initiatives • Hot Topics

  3. 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 the Internet’s potential for our future

  4. 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

  5. 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
