End to End Performance Initiative

Internet2 Mission

Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.

Internet2 Accomplishments

A high performance backbone for our members linked to similar networks worldwide

Member development and deployment of applications requiring high performance network

What we have learned

High performance infrastructure is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient of high performance network capability

Our Goal

Ensure that the infrastructure is delivering to its full potential

Enable the researchers, faculty, students and staff who use high performance networks to obtain optimal performance from the current infrastructure on a consistent basis
