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.
