Beyond providing network services for the conference itself, ESnet staff volunteer to help build and manage SCinet, a temporary network that pushes the boundaries of high-speed data transfer. SCinet not only powers the conference but also serves as a testing ground for groundbreaking technologies that advance HPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SCinet famously requires \u201ca year to design, a month to build, a week to operate, and a day to teardown.\u201d In 2023, SCinet achieved record speeds of up to 6.71 Terabits per second, up from 5.01 Tbps for SC22 \u2014 and ESnet provided up to 2.8 Tbps of that capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The almost 200 volunteers, from 9 countries and 113 institutions, were split into 18 teams. ESnet staff served in multiple leadership roles: as SCinet\u2019s Executive Director, Executive Advisor, Technical Director, Wide Area Network (WAN) Co-Lead, Deputy WAN Lead, Co-Chair of the Routing Team, and IPv6 adviser. (ESnet also serves on the leadership team for the Women in IT Networking at SC program; see page XX.) The SCinet milestones for 2023 included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Next-Generation Internet Protocol:<\/strong> Rolled out IPv6, the latest version of the internet protocol, using DHCP option 108, NAT64 and DNS64 to ease the transition from IPv4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blazing-Fast Wireless:<\/strong> Provided high-speed 5G wireless internet, through 350 access points, access across the conference venue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-Speed Optical Networking:<\/strong> Utilized multiple 400G optical connections and the Internet2 commodity circuit to create ultra-fast links.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automated Network Management:<\/strong> Deployed sophisticated software to automate the configuration and management of network equipment from different vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhanced Security:<\/strong> Strengthened network security by routing traffic through firewalls and implementing real-time threat monitoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Data Visualization:<\/strong> Utilized powerful tools like InfluxDB and Grafana to visualize and analyze network traffic patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These technologies, combined with record-breaking bandwidth capacity, ensured a seamless and high-performance networking experience for conference attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a5f6289634f025c4a1e8fc91f86f48f4\" id=\"Conferences\"><strong>Key Conferences for ESnet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c35d0893d56d05966b7ff690cfaa30ca\" id=\"SC\"><strong>SC<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>At the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC), ESnet plays primarily a technical role, supporting the fastest temporary network in the world, SCinet (see preceding page).
