Internet2 Connectivity Continues to Expand

In the last three months, a number of new sites have come up on Internet2, including Portland State, the University of Hawaii, Washington State, and the University of Alaska.

Portland State, like Oregon State and the UO itself, makes its I2 connection via the Oregon Gigapop, which is located in Eugene and is operated and managed by the UO.

I2 now also peers with Surfnet and Nordunet. Surfnet is the high-performance network servicing educational institutions in the Netherlands (http://www.gigaport.nl/), including Twente, Utrecht, Erasmus, Vrije, and dozens of others. Nordunet is the high-performance network servicing Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. Among other locales, Nordunet serves Oslo, Bergen, Tromso, Lund, Linkoping, Oulu, Uppsala, Umea, and Gothenburg. For an updated list, see http://www.ogig.net/routes.html

The Mexican I2 effort is also coming along (see http://www.cudi.edu.mx/ )
