UltraScience---Oak Ridge National Laboratory is using to 10G waves between Starlight and

Sunnyvale for its next generation US DOE large-scale science projects with requirements that

will drive extreme networking. UltraScience http://www.csm.ornl.gov/ultranet/

TransLight/Pacific Wave---Developing distributed exchange facility on the West Coast to allow

interconnection

of

international

R&E

networks.

TransLight/PacWave

http://www.pacificwave.net/participants/irnc/

EnLIGHTened Computing---Developing a dynamic, adaptive, coordinated and optimized use

of networks connecting geographically distributed high-end computing resources and

instrumentation. EnLIGHTened Computing http://www.enlightenedcomputing.org/

CHEETAH---Developing infrastructure and networking technologies to support a broad class of

e-Science projects and specifically Terascale Supernova Initiative (TSI). CHEETAH

http://www.cheetah.cs.virginia.edu/

Atlantic Wave---Atlantic Wave (A-Wave) is an international peering fabric interconnecting: US,

Canada, Europe, and South America. With distributed IP peering points in New York City,

Washington D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Sao Paulo. A-Wave is an integral part of International

Research Networks Connections program (NSF) providing the following multi-layer/multi-

protocol services between participating networks: Layer 3 peering services over Ethernet, GLIF

"light path" services, Others TBD. Atlantic Wave (A-Wave)  http://atlanticwave.net/

Pacific Wave---utilize NLR infrastructure in a joint project to create, deploy and operate an

advanced, extensible peering facility along entire US Pacific Coast. Pacific Wave

http://www.pacificwave.net/

CAMERA---Leverage NLR infrastructure, as part of effort to build state-of-the-are,

computational resource and develop software tools to decipher genetic code of communities of

microbial life in world oceans. CAMERA http://camera.calit2.net/

CAPS---APS's mission is to develop and demonstrate techniques for the numerical analysis and

prediction of high-impact local weather and environmental conditions, with emphasis on the

assimilation of observations from Doppler radars and other advanced in-situ and remote sensing

systems. Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms

Other Services:

For those who have special needs

NLR can offer researchers a range of other services that are primarily in support of, but can be

separate from, the core network services. These services include: Colocation Services, Cross

Connections, Fiber IRUs and Remote Hands

NLR Optical Switching---NLR has partnered with research groups of members--MREN,

MCNC, and LONI- to test capabilities of optical cross-connect (OXC) platforms linked by NLR

Layer 1 infrastructure.

NLRview--- NLRview is an infrastructure currently being deployed at NLR PacketNet and

FrameNet facilities to support network measurement and other network research applications.
