Workshops ESnet and UltraScienceNet
ESnet is the Department of Energy's high-speed production
network. It connects national laboratories, universities
and other institutions with a general-purpose IP-based
network and operates in support of DOE research missions.
USN, in
contrast, is an experimental testbed that will support
the development of networking and related technologies
for the specific requirements of DOE tera-scale and peta-scale
scientific applications. Its primary focus will be the
exploration of circuit-switching as an alternative to
packet switching for high-performance science applications.
ESnet will work with USN in its R&D program, and as technology is proven in
USN it will be transferred to ESnet.
