I don't see why the Fedora Project couldn't qualify as a Sponsored Participant on Internet2 [1]. In fact, Red Hat is already connected in Raleigh. I'd gladly help pursue this, but I may not be the right person seeing as I'm in Boston, not PHX. I2 also has a "private lambda" service where you can get your own dedicated 10Gig wavelength across the backbone [2]. It seems they are currently offering no-fee trials of this service to I2 connectors. Arizona State University is already on I2 via CENIC, and CENIC offers this Dynamic Circuit capability. MCNC in Durham where Red Hat is connected doesn't appear to have DCN though. [1] http://www.internet2.edu/network/participants/ "Sponsored participants are individual educational institutions (including not-for-profit and for-profit K-20, technical, and trade schools), museums, art galleries, libraries, hospitals, as well as other non-educational, not-for-profit or for-profit organizations that require routine collaboration on instructional, clinical, and/or research projects, services, and content with Primary participants or with other Sponsored Participants. Such organizations typically are either not eligible or not able to become Internet2 members."
