2. Internet2 Network Infrastructure
Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) to 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity today
GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points
Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop
This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.

16. Advanced Applications http://apps.internet2.edu/
Distributed computation
Virtual laboratories
Digital libraries
Distributed learning
Digital video
Tele-immersion
All of the above in combination
Advanced applications com in many flavors, and those flavors can be combined. Advanced applications share the characteristic that they require advanced network capabilities to work—they either don’t work at all, or won’t work well on today’s Internet.
Enabling advanced applications is at the heart of Internet2.

18. Virtual Laboratories Real-time access to remote instruments
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center 3-D Brain Mapping
Here are some examples of various applications already in use:
This application links an MRI machine with a supercomputer to produce 3-D visualizations of the neurons in a patient’s brain firing in real-time. The resulting animation can be viewed by any doctor that has access to high-performance networking. These capabilities transform the process of visualizing a patient’s brain—a process that normally takes days—and allows doctor’s to work in ways not previously possible.

19. Virtual Laboratories Real-time access to remote instruments
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Distributed nanoManipulator
This is an application which allows remote control of an electron microscope that can actually move molecules around. The application also provides “force feed-back” to the remote operator.

20. Virtual Laboratories Mauna Kea Observatories AURA University of Hawaii
Here are pictures of various applications already in use:
1) the Upper Atmosphere research Collaboratory (UARC) developed at the University of Michigan--allows researchers access to data from instruments in Greenland w/o having to travel there, and allows them to discuss and interact in real time. This applications allows access to broader audience, including the second-order affect of enabling graduate students (who would never have been able to go to Greenland) to look in on research.
2&3) Pictures of a the output from a scanning electron microscope--allows access to expensive, specialized equipment by students--allows them to control in the microscope and see the output as if they were in the same room
--These both require advanced network capabilities to work--either don’t work, or won’t work well on today’s internet.

Tele-immersion
Shared virtual reality
University of Illinois at Chicago Virtual Temporal Bone
This is a program that allows a doctor to share a 3-D image of a complex piece of anatomy (the inner ear) with students in a way that makes teaching the anatomy much easier. By making this interactive capability available over the network, a doctor can teach students remotely.

23. Tele-cubicles and the CAVE
Tele-cubicles and CAVEs are different interfaces used for some advanced applications. Immersion in a virtual world, or interaction among people using these interfaces allows people to interact with applications in new ways. The requirements of network applications using these kinds of displays generally require advanced networking.

28. Technology Transfer Conduits
Collaborating on advanced applications
Deploying pre-commercial infrastructure and protocols
Establishing expertise and human capital
Large-scale proof of concept
A primary goal of Internet2 is to ensure the rapid adoption of new capabilities in the global Internet. Internet2 Corporate Partners play an important role in ensuring these technologies are broadly deployed. The Internet2 community provides a way for new capabilities to be tested. Many of the students at universities take the experience and expertise they gain through their university’s participation in Internet2 with them when they move into the commercial world.
