The purpose of the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Program Plan is to establish, demonstrate, and represent the vision and recommendations of the ESnet Steering Committee regarding ESnet directions and implementations. This document is intended to assist the Office of Energy Research and the Scientific Computing Staff in ESnet program planning and management, including ESnet prioritization and funding. This document contains general information about ESnet in terms of both the current and future needs of Energy Research programs for networking infrastructure. Some historical information about Energy Research networking is provided to afford the reader a perspective from which to evaluate the increasing utility of networking to the Energy Research community. A current ESnet description is provided in detail. ESnet is one of the world's major scientific networks, and the information contained within this document will provide an understanding of ESnet architecture and major components. ESnet provides the Energy Research community with access to many other peer level networks and a multitude of other interconnected network facilities. The reader will be provided with information concerning ESnet's connectivity and interrelationship to other networks and facilities.
