Conventional networks, by contrast, employ a star or “hub and spoke” model in which each node of the network is connected to a central point, such as a router or a switch. In a mesh network, the connections between nodes in a mesh network can be wired, but more commonly they are wireless.Wed, 09 Mar 2016 03:06:09 Z{4BDFC9AF-FA97-4A98-B59E-84A5097D3CBD}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/11/science-dmz-ecarwg-technology-spotlightScience DMZ provides a network-architecture approach optimized for high-performance scientific applications and the transfer of large research data sets over high-speed wide area networks.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:38:08 Z{89874D7B-0A3E-4CC5-AA31-56AD4703AB2C}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/7/research-computing-in-the-cloud-functional-considerations-for-researchTransitioning to use of cloud services is becoming commonplace in higher education, but this trend has not been fully tested for research computing.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:38:08 Z{5F16EA0E-F5A2-4EF6-A2DC-25203ED85C6A}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2013/10/transitioning-to-ipv6Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the named successor to the current networking protocol that supports the transport of traffic across the Internet, is a more mature standard that appropriately balances compatibility against the addition of capabilities and enhancements that are important for current and future growth of the Internet.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:35:51 Z{81588AEF-6AFB-4459-812B-BB9A323DDE3A}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2012/1/that-was-the-year-that-was-2011So, what did  the EDUCAUSE Policy group in Washington do in 2011?
