... The primary objects of Internet2 are to create a leading edge network for the national research community, enable new Internet applications, and to ensure the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to the broader Internet community. ... Internet2 is not a separate physical network and is not intended to replace the Internet, but its collaborators will share with developments with the Internet and other networks as appropriate. ... It provides Internet2 member universities and research centers access to networking capabilities such as line-speed native IPv6 (discussed later) and scalable multicasting required by advanced network applications. ...
The following represent some of the exciting possibilities for applications that Interenet2 will make possible:
Distributed learning modules: Students will be able to learn any-time/any-place and own the learning process to a degree that is currently not feasible using traditional forms of instruction over the Internet. This flexibility will be somewhere in between the highly-structured classroom and the total lack of structure usually associated with surfing the Internet. From an instructor viewpoint, Internet 2 will open up the possibility of browsing the Web for potential instructional materials in a coherent and productive way, previewing those materials, incorporating them into courses, and making those courses available to students.
