16. Internet2 Network Infrastructure
Backbone operates at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) to 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity today
Nearly 180,000 times faster than a 56kbps modem
GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points
Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop
Approximately 1,600 Terabytes of data per month are passed over the network
This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.

Twelve uncompressed high-quality audio channels streamed over Abilene and CA*net3
USC engineers mixed the audio for a live audience in LA
The Recording Studio that Spans a Continent demonstrated, for the first time, how 12 uncompressed high-quality audio channels could be streamed over Internet2’s Abilene network and CA*net3 in Canada to create a live recording and 5.1 surround sound mix for the local audience in Los Angeles. On 23 September 2000, the McGill Jazz Orchestra played in Redpath Hall at McGill University in Montreal, while engineers were mixing the recording in the Norris Theatre at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. MPEG-2 broadcast quality video of the orchestra was transmitted over the same Internet link as the audio, allowing audience members in Los Angeles to watch the performance on a large screen.

29. 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.
