A collaborative project undertaken by an alliance of over 130 research universities in the US. The universities and their corporate partners in this venture seek to develop leading-edge network capability and to develop "next generation" applications for the new networks in order to meet the dynamic needs of academic institutions in research, teaching, and learning.
Internet2 is a collaboration among more than 100 U.S. universities to develop networking and advanced applications for learning and research. Since much teaching, learning, and collaborative research may require real-time multimedia and high-bandwidth interconnection, a major aspect of Internet2 is adding sufficient network infrastructure to support such applications. Although Internet2 is not envisioned as a future replacement for the Internet, its organizers hope to share their developments with other networks, including the Internet.
high speed networking infrastructure that includes extremely high bandwidth, management techniques and products that support levels and quality of service. Over 170 U.S. universities, working together with partners in industry and government, are leading the Internet2 project. Internet2 is working to enable applications, such as telemedicine, digital libraries and virtual laboratories that are not possible with the technology underlying today's Internet. As a project of the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID), the Internet2 project is not a single separate network, but rather joins member network application and engineering development efforts together with many advanced, campus, regional, and national networks.
Internet2 is a U.S. university-led effort to develop advanced network applications and the network technologies needed to support them. 170+ member U.S. universities work closely with partners in industry and government, and with advanced networks around the world. It is the U.S. counterpart to Canada's CA*net.
the research and development of advanced Internet technology and applications vital to the research and education missions of higher education.

Not a single separate network, Internet2 joins members' networks with advanced technologies. Its aim is to develop new points of presence ( POPs ) that will connect university campuses with a high-speed network operating at 2.4 gigabits per second by the year 2000. It is an effort to push the advancement of Internet technology and applications far beyond their current capabilities-including IPv6, multicasting, and quality of service ( QoS )-to enable a new generation of Internet applications
is a research network for it's membership of over 150 US Universities, the US Government and some industry vendors. It's made up of two (now connected) networks, Abeline and Very High Performance Backbone Network Service (VBNS), which can only be accessed by fibre optic OC-3 (155Mbps) and OC-12 (622Mbps) respectively. It is generally considered as the prototype into which the web will develop to allow full speed interactive video etc.
Internet2 is a U.S. consortium of Universities which develops technologies to support education, such as Shibboleth. See also Shibboleth. JISC The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) is a support organisation for further and higher education institutions. It provides guidance and funding. The JISC core middleware initiative provides funding for the IAMSECT project.
A US initiative involving over 190 universities working partnership with industry and government to develop and deploy advanced networked applications and technologies. The Internet2 Middleware Architecture Committee for Education (MACE) is developing the Shibboleth architecture.
A project designed to create a bigger and better Internet in US universities.
Over 190 U.S. universities working in partnership with industry and government, is developing and deploying advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet. Abilene is an advanced backbone network that supports the development and deployment of the new applications being developed within the Internet2 community. Abilene connects regional network aggregation points, called gigaPoPs, to support the work of Internet2 universities as they develop advanced Internet applications. Abilene complements other high-performance research networks.
Internet2 develops and deploys advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher education, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet. This partnership includes more than 200 U.S. universities working with industry and government entities.
Provides a central resource to develop and deploy advanced network applications, and techologies for research and higher education. Internet2 is funded by 200 US universities. Further details: http://www.internet2.edu
A high speed Internet backbone used by university and research corporations. Internet2 is designed for high bandwidth and quality of service, which is ideal for videoconferencing applications.
International consortium to develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies.
A computer network that is a collaboration of several higher education institutions which enables increased collaboration and innovative research applications and faster connection speeds that the commercial Internet provides.
A faster, more rigorus electronic network project which began in 1996 by a group of corporations, universities, nonprofit organizations and the federal government
networking initiative by universities & corporate partners
The second generation of the Internet, developed through a collaborative effort of more than 200 universities, private companies, and the U.S. government. It was not developed for commercial use or to replace the Internet. Rather, it is intended primarily for research and for applications that demand far more bandwidth than can be provided through the current Internet.
Internet-related research and development project that uses an extremely high-speed network to develop and test advanced Internet technologies for research, teaching, and learning. 2.4
An experimental high-speed network. Formed in 1996 by a consortium of American universities, Internet2 was designed as a testbed for new networking technologies and applications, especially those needing very high speeds.
