Description
As the scale and complexity of the current HEP network grows rapidly, new technologies and platforms are being introduced that greatly extend the capabilities of today’s networks. With many of these technologies becoming available, it’s important to understand how we can design, test and develop systems that could enter existing production workflows while at the same time changing something as fundamental as the network that all sites and experiments rely upon. In this talk we’ll give an update on the working group's recent activities, updates from sites and R&E network providers as well as plans for the near-term future.
In particular we'll focus on the white paper surveying number of existing technologies and tools that was written by NFW WG and we are going to discuss possible future directions as well as give an overview of the already existing efforts that are part of the Research Networking Technical WG.
