Abstract:	The Internet has grown exponentially in the 1980's and
1990's.  Even with the current correction in Internet businesses, the
Internet continues to grow at a 2.5x multiple per year.  Major Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) have built and re-built their national backbone
networks in order to support the rapidly increasing traffic loads and
demand for reliable IP service.  This presentation reviews the history and
status of the largest Internet backbones and reviews the short term and
long term technology changes such as Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(MPLS), dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, and
Generalized MPLS that will allow continued expansion of Internet services.
