ESnet Teams with Juniper Networks to Put IPv6 Into Production Alongside IPv4

August 27, 2002

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) recently teamed with Juniper Networks became one of the very first networks to run both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously on a large-scale production network connecting hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers around the world. The successful rollout of the next generation Internet Protocol, known at IPv6, in parallel with the ongoing use of the current Internet Protocol (version 4, also known as IPv4), is an important step in… Read More »

Berkeley Lab Team Achieves 10.6 Gigabits/second Data Throughput in 10-Gigabit Ethernet Test

July 3, 2002

BERKELEY, CA – Although there has been a lot of discussion recently about 10-Gigabit Ethernet capability, actually achieving that level of performance in the real world has been difficult. Until now. Last week, a team from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which operates some of the world’s most powerful computing, data storage and networking resources for the U.S. Department of Energy, teamed with Force10 Networks (switches), SysKonnect (network interfaces), FineTec Computers… Read More »
