NYSERNet and Internet2
Stony Brook offers researchers high-capacity, high-speed connections to the Internet as a member of NYSERNet and Internet2.
What is NYSERNet and Internet2?
Stony Brook is a Level 1 Internet2 higher education member eligible to take advantage of the high speed Internet2 network.
Anyone at the University who tries to connect to a fellow Internet2 member's website or Internet application from either the wired or wireless network on West Campus, East Campus, or Southampton Campus will automatically be routed through the specialized, high-capacity, high-speed Internet2 network (as long as the fellow Internet2 member has permitted access on the other end).
If a researcher is having trouble with data transfer speeds or runs into time-sensitivity issues, they can create a ticket with Customer Engagement and Support (see the contact below), who will then escalate the call to Stony Brook's Data Network Services team to investigate further.
