> On behalf of Dr. Michael Ernst, the USATLAS Facility Manager 
> and myself, you are cordially invited to attend an LHC 
> T1/T2/T3 Networking Workshop to be held at Brookhaven

> Over 68 U.S. universities and national laboratories will 
> begin receiving data generated at the LHC later this year. 
> Major questions facing this user community include "what 
> impact will their science needs have on the U.S. network 
> providers at the campus, regional, state, and national 
> levels?", and "what kind of performance and service level can 
> scientists expect from service providers along the network 
> path and the computing facilities they are transparently using?".
> 
>  
> 
> The LHC Network Workshop will bring together the network 
> engineering staffs from network providers and sites, and 
> developers of prominent HEP production and analysis 
> applications relevant to LHC experiments, to conduct final 
> planning and provide guidance in preparation for LHC data 
> analysis. Topic areas of particular interest will include 
> transfer performance optimization (protocols and end 
> systems), end-to-end monitoring, network operation, 
> troubleshooting and network services restoration procedures, 
> and forecasted future network growth, among others.  To 
> address the needs that arise from bursty transfer patterns as 
> they are foreseen in the experiment's computing models, 
> recent research efforts into virtual circuit provisioning and 
> QoS/MPLS capabilities will be discussed as well, given their 
> current and envisioned future deployment into the LHC 
> production networking environment.
> 
>  
> 
> Most importantly, the network management and engineering 
> staffs at Tier-2/Tier-3 sites will have an opportunity to 
> interact directly with the staffs of their cognizant network 
> service providers and Tier-1 site, to address local issues of 
> immediate concern.  As this will most likely provide us the 
> last opportunity for the North American LHC community to 
> conduct detailed network planning prior to LHC going into 
> production, it is our hope that you join us to finalize a 
> clear path moving forward, and to address any unresolved 
> network-related issues that remain.
