The increased bandwidth and expanded network connections of the Internet II era will result in benefits beyond faster access and richer communications. Enhanced reliability and quality of Internet transmissions will create new business models and opportunities. Some of the major benefits of these technological advancements include IP multicasting, latency solutions, guaranteed service levels, lower error rates, and declining costs.
因特网II时代增加的带宽与扩大的网络连接造就的利益不只是更快的访问和更丰富的通信。因特网传输的可靠性与质量的提高将会造就新的商业模型和机会。这些技术进步的一些主要的益处包括IP多信道广播、等待时间解决方案、有保证的服务水平、低错误率和成本的降低。
IP Multicasting. IP multicasting is a set of technologies that enables efficient delivery of data to many locations on a network. Rather than making multiple copies of a message intended to be distributed to multiple recipients at the point of origin of a message, multicasting initially sends just one message and does not copy it to the individual recipients until it reaches the closest common point on the network, thereby minimizing the bandwidth consumed. Network performance is significantly improved because it isn’t bogged down with the processing and transmission of several large data files; each receiving computer doesn’t have to query the transmitting server for the file.
IP多信道广播。IP多信道广播是使一组数据向网络中许多位置高效递送的技术。不是将一个信息在源点复制多份向多个接收者分配,多信道广播开始时只是发出一份信息而不向接收者复制，直到它到达网络上最近的公共点，因此使消耗的带宽最少。因为它不会因处理和传输一些大的数据文件陷入停顿，所以网络型能大大地被改良;每个接收计算机不必为一个文件向传输 服务器 发出请求。
Latency Solutions. One of the challenges of packet switching, where data is divided into chunks and then sent separately to meet again at the destination, is that the Internet does not differentiate between high-priority packets, such as video clips, and those of lower priority, such as self-contained e-mail messages. Because the packets cannot yet be simultaneously reassembled, the result is distorted audio and video streams.
等待时间解决方案。将数据分为多块、然后分开传送以便到目的地后再集合的分组 交换 技术，面临的挑战之一是因特网不区别高优先权信息包如图像修剪,与低优先权信息包如自我包容的电子邮件信息。因为信息包不能然同时重新装配,结果导致声频与 视频 流失真。
Internet II, however, holds the promise of diffserve, or differentiated quality of service—a new technology that assigns levels of priority to packets based on the type of data being transmitted. Videoconference packets, for example, which need to reach their destination almost instantaneously, would receive much higher priority than e-mail messages. In the end, the quality of video and audio will skyrocket without undue stress on the network. Live and on-demand TV and video will be possible once Internet II is completed.
然而因特网II承诺区别服务品质——一种以被传输的数据类型为基础、为信息包分配优先权等级的 新技术 。例如，视讯 会议 信息包需要几乎即时到达目的地,将接受比电子邮件信息高的多的优先权。最后，由于在网上没有了过度的压力，视频和声频的质量将猛涨。一旦因特网II完成，实况和随选电视与视频将成为可能。
Guaranteed Service Levels. In today’s Internet, there is no service-level guarantee and no way to purchase the right to move data through the Internet at a fixed pace. The Internet is democratic—it speeds or slows everyone’s traffic alike. With Internet II, it will be possible to purchase the right to move data through the network at a guaranteed speed in return for higher fees.
有保证的服务水平。在今天的因特网中,没有任何服务水平保证也没有办法购买以固定速度通过因特网移动数据。因特网是民主的——它加速或减慢每个人的通信量。通过因特网II，将可购买以有保障的速度经过网络移动数据的权利，作为对较高费用的回报。
Lower Error Rates. Improved capacity and packet switching will inevitably impact quality of data transmissions, reducing error rates and boosting customer satisfaction.
更低的错误率。改进的能力和分组交换不可避免地影响数据传输的质量，减少错误率而提高客户满意度。
Declining Costs. As the Internet pipeline is upgraded, the availability of broadband service will expand beyond major metropolitan areas, significantly reducing the costs of access. More users means lower cost, as products and technology catch on in the mass market. Higher volume usage enables providers to lower the cost of both access devices, or clients, and the service required to use such products. Both broadband and wireless service fees are expected to decline as geographic service areas increase, in part due to competition for that business.
费用的降低。由于因特网通道升级,宽频服务的有效性将会超过主要大城市的范围，大大地降低访问的费用。较多的使用者意味比较低的费用,如同产品和技术在大众的市场中流行一样。较多的使用准许供应商降低访问设备或客户机的费用和服务必需使用的此类产品费用。随着服务的地理区域增大，预计宽频和 无线 服务的费用都将降低，部份是由于商业竞争。
