internet2

Actually the internet1 was first private/military only and then commercialized (.com) for businesses and then came the e-commerce era as a result.

Internet2 is a private network composed of educational and non profit organizations so NO home or commercial traffic allowed on this super fast fiber network.

Internet 2 is utilized everyday at universities that are members of the network. Servers at the university identify(dns) traffic as part of the internet or internet2 infrastructure and properly route it using the proper network. If for example a student at my school (NJ IT) tries to visit www.yale.edu he/she will be routed using the internet2 network and never touch the internet1 infrastructure. If the student attempts to visit CNN.com of course the student will be routed via internet1.

Internet 2 is also jointed with internet2 like networks in Europe, Asia etc that are also educational/non profit.

I believe internet2 will eventually become commercialized just like internet 1 except it will be built on a better fiber dedicated network infrastructure which could solve the hypothesised problem that the internet is getting 2 crowded/running out of bandwidth.

As i discussed with my professor at NJ IT the technology of internet 2. I asked if internet 2 would serve as an emergency network in case of internet1 being attacked (assuming). My professor believes the network is not yet equipped to handle all the traffic of internet 1 but it could be possible to transfer traffic from the internet1 infrastructure through internet2 infrastructure with some work.
I also asked about the redundancy and resistance against an internet attack on internet2 and how it would compare to internet1, my professor believes that its redundancy and resistance to attack is about the same as internet1.

Re: internet2

Of course it couldn't handle whatever you are calling internet1. It's a 10gig backbone whose goal is 100mb connections between points at different schools etc. They may be testing new network statistics and stuff all the time, but they are still just leasing lines from the big telecom companies (was MCI when I used it). I can only imagine what having a 10gig backbone for all traffic would mean for the internet in this day and age. Saying internet 2 will be comercalized is kind of silly, it's just a seperate network.
