The Joint Engineering Team (JET)
The Joint Engineering Team (JET) was created in 1997 to help coordinate
large scale federal networking activities in support of research and
engineering. Membership came from the Engineering and Operations Working
Group (EOWG) of the Federal Networking Council (FNC), the Next Generation
Internet Implementation Team (NGI IT), and representatives from
Internet2 (I2).
The JET coordinates networking activities, operations,
and plans, between multiple federal agency networks (represented
by DOD, DOE, NASA, and NSF), the NGI, and I2.
Active projects are planning for network access points (NAPs, I2
gigaPoP's, STAR TAP, etc.), international connections, traffic
monitoring, performance measurement, multicast distribution, and
new technology deployment (e.g. IPv6 and Quality of Service (QoS)).
The JET reports to the Large Scale Networking (LSN) working group of the
Computing, Information, and Communications Research and Development
Subcommitte (CIC R&D).
