How Cisco and Internet2 connect researchers
Together, Cisco and Internet2 deploy advanced networking technology to connect researchers across the United States and around the globe. We do this by supporting five key things that can accelerate research: the Internet2 backbone, automation and orchestration, telemetry, Regional Education Networks (REN) activities, and community investments.
Products that support the Internet2 network
Internet2 is standardized on Cisco Network Services Orchestration (NSO) for software and operation configuration changes.
“We’re managing everything on the new network with NSO. That includes the network infrastructure itself and all of the customer-facing services on it, such as BGP peering and Layer 2 and Layer 3 circuits.”
