What do we mean by 'Research' in this context?

Our interpretation of 'research' here is a bit more defining than the general concept. We view research as the investigation and testing, with an eye towards possible deployment, of advanced services, protocols, routing techniques, and tools necessary to meet the expanding networking needs of the ESnet user community.

Since 1985, ESnet has made continuous progress on the process of rolling into service leading edge networking technologies. The investment of resources towards this end has born fruit within the framework of running a world-class production Internet backbone.

Some of the areas ESnet has researched and continue to develop include:

 Route Registration

Network Statistics

Border Gateway Protocol

ATM


Multicast

IPv6
