BBN Technologies' GENI Project Office has been awarded a 3-year grant from the NSF worth about $12 million to do prototyping of the next-generation research network dubbed Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI). The project office will divvy up the funds among partners from 29 universities.
Separately, Internet2 announced the following: "it is deploying the Phoebus framework on its network as an experimental research and development prototype that aims to provide significant performance improvements for long distance, high-capacity data transfers like those critical to large-scale research projects like the Large Hadron Collider."
