Large Scale Network (LSN)
Joint Engineering Team (JET)
(Updated June 2008)
Overview
The JET coordinates networking activities, operations, and plans amongst multiple Federal agency operational and research networks. Agencies represented are: DOD, DOE, NASA, and NSF, the NGI, and I2.
Current projects are:
- Planning for network access points (NAPs, I2 gigaPoPs, STARLight, etc.)
- Security
- Coordinating Optical Networking Testbeds (ONTs)
- High performance research connectivity
- International connections
- Traffic monitoring
- Performance measurement
- New technology deployment (e.g. IPv6)
- Recommended best practices (e.g. 9000 Byte MTU frames)
JET membership includes representation from Federal agencies, industry, academia, and other groups with an interest in high performance research networking.
The JET was created in 1997 to help coordinate large scale Federal networking activities to support research and engineering. Membership came from the Engineering and Operations Working Group of the Federal Networking Council, the Next Generation Internet Implementation Team, and representatives from Internet2 (I2).
The JET reports to the Large Scale Networking (LSN) Coordinating Group of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Subcommittee.
