Next Generation Internet• Supported the applications above• Gigabit, QoS, multicast
Scalable Information Infrastructure• Applications adapt to network “weather”
Grid computing and grid storageLambda grids
• “Infinite” bandwidth• Ready to move to this level

Requirements for educationRequirements for education
Must support collaboration• via IP?• Across lambdas?
Multicast???Allow application level query of network
parameters• Allow application to adapt if necessary
Must be easily supported on campus
