Research and Development

cmshiggsfermi.jpg

ESnet is constantly pushing networking research forward to help scientific teams around the world collaborate and share data sets, such as the data coming from CERN's Large Hadron Collider

ESnet's research and development activities are integral to our mission of advancing the capabilities of today's networking technologies to better serve the science requirements of the future. We continually investigate and test the services, protocols, routing techniques, and tools necessary to meet the expanding needs of our user community of DOE scientists. Since 1985, in addition to running a world-class production internet backbone that links DOE researchers and user facilities, ESnet has been engaged in developing and rolling out technology solutions and services. ESnet has established many ongoing collaborations with other research and education networks, as well as commercial vendors on projects including, the following:

We also participate in the following international organizations:

  • Open Grid Forum (OGF)
  • Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF)

 

Collaborate with Us!

 

ESnet works closely with the research and education, as well as technical communities in government and industry on innovative projects. We welcome collaborations from both research institutions and industry to advance the boundaries of networking for science. To discuss a potential collaboration or to get more information on current opportunities, contact Inder Monga.

We are currently seeking proposals from network researchers interested in pushing the boundaries of networking technologies on our 100G testbed, and are developing new applications for network monitoring. For general inquiries or guidance on submitting a research proposal for the testbed, contact  Brian Tierney.
