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
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
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
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 Backbone Networks Donna Cox,Robert Patterson, NCSA
Internet2 December 2003 • 10 Gigabits per second backbone • Optical transport capability (Lambda) using DWDM • Flexible provisioning to support point to point optical connection • Native IPv6 deployment concurrent with IPv4
Internet2 International connectivity • Internet2 backbone networks have no non-US infrastructure • Primarily, our partners’ networks pay to get to the US • NSF provides some funding for 3 international network projects • TransPAC, EuroLink, MIRnet
