    Specifying the ATLAS Network Needs - an open discussion guided by some fundamental questions
    
    - How much networking do we need? Can we deduce the future needs by looking at what we have used in the past? - Is it sufficient to be agnostic/reactive and use what's been offered to ATLAS, or would there be an advantage of being proactive? - Potential of Network-aware Applications in ATLAS - what would be the benefits and what are suitable areas?
