Today’s Agenda
1. Overview Internet2/MAGPI
2. Why Internet2?
3. Advanced Applications
4. Useful Tools
5. How to Get (and Stay) Involved
6. Q&A
3
What is Internet2? “Born” in 1996 by UCAID Led by over 200 US
universities, K20, and corporations
Recreating the partnership among academia, industry and government that fostered today’s Internet in its infancy
Mission = Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet
4
Easy Takeaway for Today
UCAID = the parent organization
Internet2 = the project
Abilene = the network
