<p>Is Internet2 (<a href="http://www.internet2.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.internet2.edu/</a>) widespread at MIT?</p>
<p>It's still being developed and I think it will take a while before it's widespread anywhere.</p>
<p>Actually it's available at most major universities now... In fact, if you're able to set up vpn with MIT, you can access it from home. I tried it out at CMU, and it's pretty awesome. I've seen plenty of MIT users on i2hub, so I would think its use is fairly widespread there.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about Internet2, but I do know MIT has a VPN service. There's a client you download that's already customized for MIT, and authentication is with your kerberos ID & password.</p>
