NASA Research and Engineering Network
Appearance

The NASA Research and Engineering Network (NREN) is a nationwide Wide Area Network between selected NASA centers and peers with other high-performance network testbeds to enable NASA scientists, engineers, and researchers to reach their partners within other Federal agencies and academia.
NREN was initially developed in 1996 and has been upgraded several times. It currently has 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) connectivity across the continental United States, including a link to the Columbia supercomputer at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
