What is Internet2?
Internet2 is a consortium of universities working in partnership with industry and government to develop
and deploy advanced network applications and technologies. OSU has been an Internet2 partner since 1999.
What does Internet2 do for me?
Internet2 members enjoy high speed connections to each other, enabling improved performance for
bandwidth-intensive applications such as digital video, distributed learning, remote instrumentation and
tele-immersion (virtual reality).
How do I use Internet2?
When you communicate with another institution that is an Internet2 member, your network traffic will flow
over the faster Internet2 connection. However, local network issues may hamper your ability to really
make use of Internet2.
Who are the members of Internet2?
As of September 2003, there are 202 member Universities, as well as corporate, governmental and
international members. See the following URL for a complete listing:
