Building the Network: Development Programme

SuperJANET4: Development of Network Support for Applications in Learning, Teaching and Research

This is a draft of a document that UKERNA would eventually like to publish as a statement of the programme of network related developments which need to be carried out to exploit SuperJANET4 properly, and in order to achieve the objectives originally set for it.

Before finalisation of any programme of developments we would like to give the JANET community an opportunity to comment - this is that opportunity. Comments on any aspect of the document are welcome and should be sent directly to Jeremy Sharp.

This document concentrates on "network-related" developments. It is clear however that the new generation of applications that are being developed are increasingly becoming "network-aware". Comments are therefore particularly invited as to how a better linkage in this development programme between the network and the application can be achieved.
