Overview

The LSN CG coordinates the activities of the Large Scale Networking Program Component Area (PCA).

LSN members coordinate Federal agency networking R&D in leading-edge networking technologies, services, and enhanced performance, including programs in new network architectures, optical network testbeds, network security, infrastructure, middleware, end-to-end performance measurement, and advanced network components; grid and collaboration networking tools and services; and engineering, management, and use of large-scale networks for scientific and applications R&D. The results of this coordinated R&D, once deployed, can help assure that the next generation of the Internet will be scalable, trustworthy, and flexible.
