USLHCNet
USLHCNet is a wide-area network which supports the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and the High Energy Physics (HEP) community in the United States. Funded by the US Department of Energy and CERN, USLHCNet is managed by the California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) in collaboration with CERN.
USLHCNet operates a series of 10-Gbps links interconnecting CERN, MANLAN in New York and Starlight in Chicago and provides reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity between CERN and Tier1 sites. Together with GÉANT, ESnet, Internet2 and the US National Science Foundation’s UltraLight project, USLHCNet also supports connectivity between US Tier1 and European Tier2 centres as well as between European Tier1 and US Tier2 centres.
Among USLHCNet’s transatlantic links is one which lands at SARA. Onward connectivity to CERN is provided by a 10-Gbps GÉANT Lambda circuit. USLHCNet also funds the 5-Gbps link from Vienna to
New York which provides connectivity between GÉANT and ESnet.
USLHCNet is a member of the DICE Collaboration.
