Internet2 or UCAID (University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development) is a non-profit consortium which develops and deploys advanced network applications and technologies, mostly for high-speed data transfer.
Internet2 and Level 3 Communications, Inc. will develop and deploy a new nationwide network and new services to enhance and support the advanced needs of the academic and research community. This new network initially will offer Internet2 members 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) of capacity, more than 10 times that of the current Internet2 backbone network, and will be designed to easily scale to add capacity as Internet2 members requirements evolve over time. Based on input and feedback from the research and education community, including experience gained with the Hybrid Optical and Packet Infrastructure (HOPI) project, the network will be designed to support a full range of production IP services as well as new on-demand, dedicated optical wavelength services to support the most demanding network applications and experimentation.

Current Internet is based on addresses that is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
There are only 4,294,967,296 combinations available. Out of this many, quite bit (about 19 million) are reserved for special purposes.
Although a very large number, because of assignment schemes used, the numbers are rapidly diminissing.
Internet 2 is a resolution to this problem. It uses a number scheme such as 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 and there are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 combinations available.
It also uses an assignment scheme that is not block based (which is a problem with current scheme)
A dramatic increase is also a proposed change in internet 2.

A SUPER HIGH SPEED network for Universities and Scientific Organizations.

Internet2 is unlikely to be available any time soon for general public use.
