Networking support

For the third phase of the EGEE project, the objective of the Networking Support activity (SA2) is to interface between the EGEE infrastructure and the NRENs and GEANT2. More specifically, the goals are two-fold:

• Ensure the daily operational interface between the infrastructures including notably the information exchange between the network operational entities and the Grid operations and the network user support in the EGEE operational model;

• Ensure that the applications network requirements are fulfilled and that new network functionalities (such as network Quality of Service or IPv6) are advertised to the EGEE users and provided in the EGEE infrastructure.
