Each year, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analytics designs, implements and operates two temporary networks. One is a production network that provides wired and wireless internet access for attendees and exhibitors as well as bandwidth for live streaming of many sessions and workshops. Another is a wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) that supports network research experiments and demonstrations, for example, as part of the Network Research Exhibition (NRE) program and SCinet’s Experimental network projects (XNET). The StarLight Consortium participates in these activities by working with the SCinet WAN/LAN group to design and provision a national testbed with international extensions to support a wide range of network research experiments and demonstrations.
