The National Laboratory for Applied Network
Research (NLANR) has as its primary goal to provide technical,
engineering, and traffic analysis support of NSF High Performance
Connections sites and HPNSP (high-performance network service providers)
such as the NSF/MCI very high performance Backbone Network Service (vBNS).
Funded by the National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science
and Engineering Directorate, NLANR is a distributed organization
with three parts:
- Applications/User Support
The Distributed Applications Support team, located at UIUC/NCSA, provides support to
vBNS users and assistance with high-performance applications.
- Engineering Services
The Engineering Services team, located at CMU/PSC, provides in-depth information
and technical support for connecting to and effectively using high-performance
wide-area networks to
campus network engineers, gigapop operators and other high-performance
networking professionals.
- Measurement and Analysis
The Measurement and Network Analysis team, located at UCSD/SDSC, conducts performance
and flow measurements for HPC sites.
