New network technologies are changing the way the world does business,
even research, and it is creating new collaborative network based
environments that researchers, specifically physicists, will be most
likely the first to use to support their research.  This presentation
will briefly describe these new environments and then outline recent and
projected advances in networking technologies and architectures and
their potential effect on being able to support these new ways of doing
e-everything. This includes new technologies in high performance and
edge/aggregation networks, as well as intelligent network
infrastructures.
