The Research and Education networking community comprises several types of
networks. Most of these networks are purpose-built to support the global
scientific research enterprise. These networks are very different from
typical enterprise business networks and simultaneously very similar in
other ways. Modern scientific research is collaborative,
multi-institutional, and multi-domain in nature. These networks support
this by connecting individual researchers across the globe with their
collaborators, laboratories, and scientific resources, including
instruments like telescopes, electron microscopes, particle accelerators,
and other cyberinfrastructure like supercomputers, HPC clusters, massive
data stores, and now commercially available cloud resources. Many billions
of dollars of funded research depend on these networks.

The R&E networking community also has a few networks designed as
laboratories supporting the science of networking and computer science more
generally. These networks are typically built as virtual overlays or
utilizing additional, excess, or parallel capacity from the production
science networks discussed above. In the US, the previous
generation was known as Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI).
The current generation of this in the US is FABRIC (FABRIC is Adaptive
ProgrammaBle Research Infrastructure for Computer Science and Science
Applications) is an International infrastructure that enables cutting-edge
experimentation and research at-scale in the areas of networking,
cybersecurity, distributed computing, storage, virtual reality, 5G, machine
learning, and science applications.

I hope that helps!
