This activity funds the gigabit and advanced networking research activities of the NREN. It includes R&D in gigabit testbed activities and pilot projects (HiPPI, ATM, National Storage Lab, Online Electronic Telescope, and more), packetized video and voice, collaborative workspace, telecommuting projects, technologies and mechanisms for supporting energy demand and supply management, next-generation IP deployment, and both secure and scalable communication libraries for distributed computing environments.
Funding may be provided for research and development on ATM issues with regard to High Performance Parallel Interface (HiPPI), standards implementation, interfaces, and LAN to WAN ATM interoperability. Funding may also be used to investigate the network resource reservation and management for isochronous traffic. Further work in security (such as providing secure information retrieval and search mechanisms and interoperable authentications realms), intelligent user interfaces for accessing the network, interoperable video systems, high speed LANs, telecommuting, protocols and services to support energy demand and supply management, and collaborative work environments will be funded. With additional funding work is needed in identifying the real issues with inter-network peering and routing. Research on routing and addressing (e. g., end system identifiers, network versus geographical addressing, automatic host configuration, multi-level peering, etc.) for the growth of the Internet on a multi-protocol dimension must be conducted. |

Scalable communications library was completed.
LBL released beta code of collaborative technologies to ARPA and other agencies for further refinement and development. Packetization of commercial codec video/audio output was completed and allows ESnet to carry packetized video encapsulated in IP. Initiated research, through a workshop, on the integration of wide area network and scalable I/O techniques and technologies. |
