I wasn't thinking of setting up an entirely separate Tor network on Internet2. As I mentioned, I2 is transparent for my machine: when I connect to another machine (google, whatever), it will use I2 if possible and fall back to standard internet otherwise. So I was hoping to exploit the fact that several of the main Tor nodes (at MIT, Harvard, etc) are on I2, and I could relay a *lot* of traffic between such nodes. The problem is that I need to explicitly restrict my relay to those nodes because my standard internet access is bandwidth limited. Nathaniel
