Advancement in networks for HEP community

The key role of networks has been brought into focus as a result of the worldwide-distributed computing model adopted by the four LHC experiments, as a necessary response to the unprecedented data volumes and computational needs of the LHC physics program. As we approach LHC startup and the era of LHC physics, the focus has increased as the experiments develop the tools and methods needed to distribute, process, access and cooperatively analyze datasets with aggregate volumes of Petabytes of simulated data even now, rising to many Petabytes of real and simulated data during the first years of LHC operation.
