HENP/Astronomy Common Focus

• Operational Networks
• What astronomy gets from high perf reliable
  protocols?
• Relative roles of lossy protocols
• VRVS/video, TCP vs UDP, surprises
• Share info on storage techniques/technologies
• Get NVO involved again, specifically in their
  networking efforts
• Joint testing and research into new/mod protocols
  (fast, evlbi project,etc)
• Traffic seems to be suitable for scavenger on
  the backbone service Allows one to be very
  aggressive without impacting the best effort
  service.
• Work with HENP to get routers configured for
  scavenger
• Areas of overlap, common issues
• End-to-end issues and QoS
• Backbone far exceeds edges. but edges are the
  hurdle.
• Cooperate on strategic and political issues
• Firewalls how to address this issue
