The Grid High-Performance Networking Research Group focuses on the relationship between network research and Grid application and infrastructure development. Two specific goals of the GHPN-RG are identifying a) grid application requirements and implementations that are not supported or understood by the networking community and
b) advanced networking features that are not being utilized by grid applications.

The Grid High-Performance Networking Research Group focuses on the relationship between network research and Grid application and infrastructure development. The objective of GHPN-RG is to bridge the gap between the networking and grid research communities. It accomplishes its goal by serving as a forum for information exchange on advances and requirements in both fields, as well as by providing a focal point for liaison activities between the GGF and the various networking standards bodies.

The GHPN-RG provides a forum for such topics until sufficient maturity and interest to both communities is reached that naturally results in the formation of a separate WG or RG to pursue them further. The discussions of GHPN-RG are carried out both during the meetings and on the GHPN mailing list.

Two specific goals of the GHPN-RG are identifying:

* grid application requirements and implementations that are not supported or understood by the networking community and
* advanced networking features that are not being utilized by grid applications.

The GHPN-RG communicates the results of its work through the periodic release of informational documents.
