Internet2 FAQ  What (and why) is Internet2?  Will Internet2 replace today’s Internet?  Will there by an Internet3?  How (or when) can I connect to Internet2 from home?  What’s your stock ticker symbol?

People on the Internet Source: Nua Internet Surveys Millions of People

Computers on the Internet Source: Internet Domain Survey Millions of Computers

Yesterday’s Internet  Thousands of users  Remote login, file transfer  Applications capitalize on underlying technology

Today’s Internet  Millions of users  Web, , low-quality audio & video  Applications adapt to underlying technology

Tomorrow’s Internet  Billions of users and devices  Convergence of today’s applications and services  New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

More Time Performance Less hype technological potential actual performance The Network Performance Gap performance gap

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
