Yesterday’s Internet
Thousands of users
Remote login, file transfer
Applications capitalize on underlying
technology
5/25/2016
5
Today’s Internet
Millions of users
Web, email, low-quality audio & video
Applications adapt to underlying
technology

6
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)

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
5/25/2016
11
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
5/25/2016
12
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
