Internet2 Project Description

This project will allow The University of Mississippi to establish a high performance network connection to support researchers having bandwidth requirements that cannot easily be met through commodity Internet. The nationally recognized research programs and the number of prominent federal and state research agencies/institutions located on the UM campus require access to high performance networking connections. This project is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation,CISE Advanced Networking Infrastructure Program (ANI # 9975948) .
