capability
Transfer capability to the global
production Internet
Overview: Internet2 participants
150+ U.S. universitiesIndustry
• partners contribute over $50M in goods and services
• engaged in technology transfer goal
Other research organizations• federal government laboratories• medical laboratories, etc.
Overview: Internet2 participants
Strong partnership with US national government• Next Generation Internet Initiative• National Science Foundation’s vBNS
network (in cooperation with MCIWorldcom)
Overview: Internet2 at INET
The Internet2 project focused on US, but:• Internet is global• next generation of Internet technologies
and applications needs to be globally interoperable
