Summary
Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)
government research legacy
A US Department of Energy research network (ESNET), operated as the Energy
Sciences Network and managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
What it's used for
- Connecting DOE national laboratories, supercomputing facilities, and major scientific instruments to each other and to research partners worldwide, at very high bandwidth.
Notable
- A federal government science network, not a commercial ISP. The low AS number reflects an early-internet allocation from the DOE research community.
Interesting
- ESnet peers with hundreds of research and commercial networks so DOE-funded scientists can collaborate globally.
