"Research and Education" perhaps needs to be adjusted or better
defined, and those not in that community probably have no frame of
reference. In most cases an "R&E network" is a network dedicated to
connecting research facilities and educational institutions. In the
general case, these are not enterprise style networks, but are
purpose-built with the express reasoning that a typical enterprise
network cannot or will not accommodate their needs. They may consist
of "enterprise style" components, but they are - in general - built to
carry atypical traffic like large flows, massive data sets, and in
many cases to facilitate other types of research. For examples of how
many of these are tuned to accomplish this, see
