A. You have run into one of the major problems with our current workstation operating systems; they’re tuned to run in a highly congested network environment. So, paradoxically, applications such as FTP (file transfer protocol) may run more slowly across Internet2 networks than they did before. Thus, your operating system and applications need to be tuned to take advantage of Internet2 environments. The Internet2 End-to-End Performance Initiative addresses performance issues for applications developers and users. For help with your specific application, you can also contact the Distributed Applications Support Team (DAST) of the National Laboratory for Advanced Network Research (NLANR).
