This is the High Throughput special interest group on line group. Network performance problems may cause issues to scientists and network operators alike. Throughput problems can be caused by many factors - including infrastructure, hosts, applications. Researchers that encounter network problems sometimes can use this resource to facilitate troubleshooting, tuning and get general advice from the community.

The US Energy Sciences Network has a number of throughput test servers that Janet users can use to check their transatlantic throughput between hosts. These DTN's or data transfer nodes use GridFTP as their application for data transfer, and have a wide range of file sizes from 1MB to 100GB. The Servers are based in Lawrence Berkley National Lab, California; Argonne National Lab, Chicago and Brookhaven National Lab, New York.
