Moving the public Internet to the next level

Internet2 is a not-for-profit consortium, led by over 220 US universities, developing and deploying advanced network applications and technology, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet, since 1996. Provides a high-performance network environment for the US research and education community. Optimized to meet the needs of research, teaching, learning, clinical and outreach missions of that community. An organization that serves academic and technology needs at all levels of education A venue that brings together academics and scientists from all over the world. Develops high speed data transfer applications Enables the development and deployment of new network, middleware and applications technologies, services and protocols Close collaborations with government: NIH, NSF, NLM, NASA, to name only a few. Primary purpose is to help education.

What is Internet2 ?

History of

In the 90s theInternetgained in public recognition and popularity. Universities were among the first institutions to outgrow the Internet's bandwidth limitations because of the data transfer requirements Some universities wanted to support high-performance applications like data mining, medical imaging and particle physics. This resulted in the creation of the very-highperformance Backbone Network Service, orvBNS, developed in 1995 by theNational Science Foundation(NSF) andMCI, specifically to meet the needs of the supercomputers at educational institutions. The concept of the next-generation Internet was born. The Internet2 Project was originally established by 34 university researchers in 1996 . The Internet2 consortium administrative headquarters is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with offices in Washington, D.C. The Internet2 community, in partnership withQwest,

Importance:

Everything that gets developed on the internet where does it come from ?? Internet2 facilitates this development Internet2 and its members are developing and testing new technologies, such as IPv6, multicasting and quality of service (QoS) that will enable revolutionary Internet applications. However, these applications require performance not possible on today's Internet. More than a faster Web or email, these new technologies will enable completely new applications such as digital libraries, virtual laboratories, distanceindependent learning and tele-immersion.

Internet2 Security Security Task Force

EDUCAUSE/Internet2 created it July 2000 Works to improve cyber-security and the protection of information assets and critical infrastructures

Increase Education and Awareness Develop Standards, Policies and Procedures Design Security Architecture and Tools Increase Organization and Information Sharing

Security Task Force goals:

Future of Internet2? Make the network available to the public, though no one is
sure what this means Integrate the present internet into internet2 Rebuild / Retrofit the current internet around the architecture developed for the internet2 Bring down the partnership cost of being involved in the project so more novel companies can participate, contribute, and benefit Connectivity: Reliable, Scalable, High performance Ease of use, privacy, and security Integration with advanced applications
