Prior to that ESnet was operated as a part of the NERSC supercomputing facility at LLNL. ESnet is the wide area network that provides connectivity to DOE laboratories and contract facilities around the country. We act as an NSP for LLNL, LBNL, LANL, Sandia, Brookhaven, Fermilab, Argonne, and about 40 other sites and maintain a 10 Gbps trans-continental backbone to carry the traffic between DOE sites and US and international research sites such as CERN. We also provide commercial connectivity for our sites and peer with over 100 commercial Internet providers such as UUnet, Sprint, Savvis and AT&T. While we are currently located at LBNL (and I hope to stay there), except for administrative support, we LBNL is just another site on the network. So my work address is es.net, but I can also be reached at KOberman@lbl.gov. The legal name of LBNL is the rather verbose one in my .sig file, but lab management prefers "Berkeley Lab", so I stick it in there, too. I was at LLNL for 23 years before moving to LBNL, mostly in the Engineering Department where my last job was managing their internal networks. Might I ask when and where you worked at LLNL? -- R.
