Internet2 is a collaboration of many U.S.-based universities to develop networking and advanced applications for learning and research. The Internet2 community develops and deploys network technologies for the future of the internet. These technologies include large-scale network performance measurement and management tools, secure identity and access management tools, and capabilities such as scheduling high-bandwidth, high-performance circuits. Internet2 members serve on several advisory councils, collaborate in a variety of working groups and special interest groups, gather at spring and fall member meetings, and are encouraged to participate in the strategic planning process. The Internet2 Project was originally established by 34 university researchers in 1996 under the auspices of EDUCOM.
