From the proposal submitted to DOE (April, 2001).
section 3.6.2 ORNL Timeline in Milestones

  Year 1.
    1. Deploy Web100 at ORNL and NERSC nodes to develop Net100 expertise 

    2. Develop and demonstrate Web100-aware data transfer application for
       Probe/HPSS testing between NERSC and ORNL

    3. Contribute to test and evaluation of existing end-to-end tools

    4. Get access to ESnet ORNL and NERSC routers and investigate
       possible realtime feedback to application (e.g. using SNMP)

    5. Explore transport optimizations for single TCP flows

    6. Develop file transfer application/protocol to support
       out-of-order packet arrivals

    7. Deploy a small emulator testbed to test transport protocol
       modifications and out-of-order resilient protocols/applications
    8. Explore tuning the IBM/AIX 5.1 TCP stack and investigate
       extending it with Net100 mods 

    9. Test net100 tools on ESnet's OC48 testbed

   10. Publish tools and tips on web page and in formal
       publications and presentations



   Year 2.
    
    1. Integrate Net100 tools into HPSS transfer protocols

    2. Modify kernels to support ECN and use Net100 tools to tune
       DOE TCP applications with ECN feedback
       (assumes DOE's ESnet routers will be ECN-capable)

    3. Continue Net100 integration  with other vendor TCP stacks (Solaris,
       Irix, Compaq)

    4. Integrate ORNL's network-daemon statistical sampling research 
        with NWS/Net100

    5. Extend Net100 tools to include adaptive source-based routing
       and multipath routing via application daemons

    
   Year 3.

    1. Continue Net100 integration  with other vendor TCP stacks (Irix, FreeBSD)

    2. Extend Net100 tuning to include DOE's IPv6 network (jumbograms)
