The Shadow Internet That's 100 Times Faster Than Google Fiber
< Wired 06.17.2014 06:30 AM
When Google chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said the tech giant might bring 10 gigabits per second internet connections to American homes, it seemed like science fiction. That's about 1,000 times faster than today's home connections. But for NASA, it's downright slow.
While the rest of us send data across the public internet, the space agency uses a shadow network called ESnet, short for Energy Science Network, a set of private pipes that has demonstrated cross-country data transfers of 91 gigabits per second–the fastest of its type ever reported.
NASA isn't going bring these speeds to homes, but it is using this super-fast networking technology to explore the next wave of computing applications. ESnet, which is run by the U.S. Department of Energy, is an important tool for researchers who deal in massive amounts of data generated by projects such as the Large Hadron Collider and the Human Genome Project. Rather sending hard disks back and forth through the mail, they can trade data via the ultra-fast network. "Our vision for the world is that scientific discovery shouldn't be constrained by geography," says ESnet director Gregory Bell.
ESnet Overview
The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is the Office of Science’s high-performance network user facility, delivering highly-reliable data transport capabilities optimized for the requirements of large-scale science. In essence, ESnet is the circulatory system that enables the DOE science mission. ESnet is stewarded by the Advanced Scientific Computing Research Program, [1] and managed and operated by the Scientific Networking Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
ESnet interconnects the DOE’s national laboratory system, dozens of other DOE sites, and ~200 research and commercial networks around the world—enabling tens of thousands of scientists at DOE laboratories and academic institutions across the country to transfer vast data streams and access remote research resources in real-time. ESnet exists to provide the specialized networking infrastructure and services required by the national laboratories, large science collaborations, and the DOE research community. ESnet provides the high-bandwidth, reliable connections that enable many thousands of the nation’s scientists to collaborate on some of the world's most important scientific challenges including energy, biosciences, materials, and the origins of the universe.

Ever Consider
Maybe the site in Nashville was hit because it was a compromised NSA node which was being used by the Black Hats. So White hats toasted the infrastructure so it can not be used and the RV was a cover. BH's would not gave 2 shits if someone may have been blown up in the process.
