The pace of scientific discovery has been rapid in recent years owing to cyberinfrastructures that enable researchers to: (a) remotely access distributed computing resources and big data sets, and (b) effectively collaborate with remote peers, at a global-scale. However, wide-adoption of these advances has been a challenge to researchers mainly due to limitations in traditional cyberinfrastructure equipment, policies and engineering practices at campuses.This project addresses the adoption challenges for researchers within The Ohio State University (OSU), and for their collaborators at the state, national and international levels. The project team is integrating advanced technologies (e.g., 100Gbps connectivity, perfSONAR, OpenFlow, RoCE/iWARP) relevant to the use cases of diverse OSU researchers in a "Science DMZ" environment. A 100Gbps border router at OSU will be setup to connect to the state-funded OARnet-Internet2 peered 100Gbps network in support of the use cases. The project will investigate the tradeoffs to be balanced between researcher flow performance and campus security practices. Project activities also involve wide-area network experimentation to seamlessly integrate OSU's cyberinfrastructure and Science DMZ with a remote campus (at University of Missouri) cyberinfrastructure. This project will create and document the role of a "Performance Engineer on campus", who will be the primary "keeper" and "help-desk" of the Science DMZ equipment, and will function as a liaison with researchers and their collaborators to configure wide-area cyberinfrastructures. Best-practices are to be published, and open-source software applications will be developed for handling researcher application flows in production networks across diverse science/engineering disciplines and multiple university campuses.

近年来，由于网络基础设施使研究人员能够：(a)远程访问分布式计算资源和大数据集，以及(b)在全球范围内与远程同行有效合作，科学发现的步伐迅速。然而，由于传统网络基础设施设备、政策和校园工程实践的限制，这些进步的广泛采用对研究人员来说是一个挑战。该项目为俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）的研究人员以及他们在州、国家和国际层面的合作者解决了采用挑战。项目团队正在整合先进的技术（例如，100Gbps连接、perfSONAR、OpenFlow、RoCE/iWARP），这些技术与俄勒冈州立大学不同研究人员在“Science DMZ”环境中的用例相关。俄勒冈州立大学的100Gbps边界路由器将连接到国家资助的OARnet-Internet2对等100Gbps网络，以支持用例。该项目将调查研究人员流动性能和校园安全实践之间的权衡。项目活动还包括广域网实验，以无缝集成OSU的网络基础设施和科学DMZ与远程校园（密苏里大学）的网络基础设施。该项目将创建并记录“校园性能工程师”的角色，他将是科学DMZ设备的主要“管理员”和“帮助台”，并将作为研究人员及其合作者配置广域网络基础设施的联络人。将发布最佳实践，并开发开源软件应用程序，以处理跨越不同科学/工程学科和多个大学校园的生产网络中的研究人员应用程序流。
