ESnet and UltraScienceNet (USN)
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.
