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
