Imagine this. Download an entire DVD movie in the blink of an eye. It's now possible with Internet2.

Scientists at CERN were able to send 859GB of data in less than 17 minutes at a rate of 6.63 gigabits per second, a speed that equals the transfer of a full-length DVD movie in four seconds.

The transfer experiment was done between the Geneva, Switzerland home of CERN and Pasadena, California, where Caltech is based - a distance of approximately 15,766 kilometres. Furthermore, this is the first time the 100-petabit metre per second mark has been broken. One petabit equals 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.

I've been hearing about Internet 2 for like 12 years and have seen nothing for proof. Its a fantasy in my opinion.

The way technology is advancing, it's only a matter of time. Probably that that far off either.

The internet2 is a research network.

It is only between universities. They built it because they hate the fact of all the crap on the internet right now.

It will take quite some time until internet <-> internet2 exchanges are available in wide use and even longer until internet2 ISPs show up.
