MREN was developed to support a wide range of advanced research applications requiring high-performance and high bandwidth, especially large-scale e-Science. Research applications that utilize MREN include high performance computing, advanced digital video, advanced medical imaging, computer-aided diagnostics, high energy physics, computational biology and chemistry, astronomy and astrophysics, and advanced networking research. MREN also provides access to remote instrumentation, such as those at national research labs... In 1993, MREN was designed as one of the first "next generation Internet" projects; production began in 1994. MREN's technical design has always been based on extensive analysis of multiple requirements of those leading-edge applications. MREN allows real-time, state-of-the art applications to actively use the latest, multi-site advanced networking technologies. MREN has been recognized as a prototype for the development and promotion of existing and future, digital,..
