Description
In this paper we present the design, implementation and evolution of the
mission-orientedUSLHCNet for HEP research. The design philosophy behind our network
is to help meet the dataintensive computing challenges of the next generation of
particle physics experiments with a comprehensive, network-focused approach. Instead
of treating the network as a static, unchanging and unmanaged set of inter-computer
links, we are developing and using it as a dynamic, configurable and closely
monitored resource that is managed from end-to-end. We will present our work in the
various areas of the project, recent changes in the infrastructure, including the
addition of LCAS/VCAT/GFP capable SONET equipment, future plans, transport protocol
research and grid application development. Our working methodology is a continous
cycle of evaluating equipment and technologies (servers, networking equipment, new
standards) and network application development in order to build a production network
for research. Our goal is to construct a nextgeneration network that is able to meet
the data processing, distribution, access and analysis needs of the particle physics
community.
