What is "internet2 speed"? As far as I can see Internet2 is a 10G based
national network. What is so special about that in this day and age?
I think the difference is the average connection speeds of the "end users"
of the network. It's not at all uncommon today for a provider with a 10G+
backbone to have 100Mbs or less average connection speed, whereas I2 end
users are often on campus networks at gig-E or faster.
So the speeds mentioned are the realized speeds in p2p and malware
spreading applications, or at least that is my assumption based on the
original poster's question.
