| | Internet2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | This is misleading since Internet2 is in fact a consortium and not a computer network. | | | Articles that reference Internet2 as a network are in fact referring to the previously mentioned network backbone known as the Abilene Network. |
