2. Yesterday’s Internet  Thousands of users  Remote login, file transfer  Interconnect mainframe computers  Applications capitalize on underlying technology

3. Today’s Internet  Millions of users  Web, email, low-quality audio & video  Interconnect personal computers and servers  Applications adapt to underlying technology

4. Tomorrow’s Internet  Billions of users and devices  Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video- conference, HDTV)  Interconnect personal computers, servers, and imbedded computers  New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

5. Why Internet2?  The Internet was not designed for: Millions of users Congestion Multimedia Real time interaction  But, only the Internet can: Accommodate explosive growth Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration  Internet2 is focused on the Internet’s potential for our future

6. More Time Performance Less hype technological potential actual performance reality gap Innovating to Close the Gap

7. What Is Internet2?  A project of the university community working with our corporate colleagues and government to close the gap between the potential and reality of the Internet

8. Why University Leadership?  The Internet came from the higher research university community Stanford -- the Internet protocols NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet CERN -- The WWW protocols University of Illinois -- The Web browser  Research universities require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it
