Countless such maps have been produced. A session at the upcoming TNC \u2013 the annual flagship event of the European R&amp;E network association G\u00c9ANT \u2013 is dedicated to a new tool which will help map not just one network, but the entire Global Research and Education Network (GREN).<\/p>\n<p>The idea put forward by&nbsp;the GREN Mapping working group is to provide a tool that allows each of the regional and national R&amp;E networks across the globe to offer data for maps \u2013 locations of nodes and links, and their properties \u2013 in a standardized data format, supported by open-source software, and to allow all this data to be aggregated to create a map dataset of the GREN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe GREN is constantly evolving, so if someone would, hypothetically, create an instantaneous map of the network, it&nbsp;would probably be outdated even before it was published. Instead, the real innovation is a data format which will allow any R&amp;E network to merge an updated representation of its own infrastructure with the infrastructures of the other networks,\u201d explains Lars Fischer, Strategy &amp; Policy Officer at NORDUnet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only will the GREN Map provide a visualization of the GREN topology, it will also be a valuable tool for creating local maps of regions, adding maps to network operations tools, and much more\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>The GREN Map was initiated by the Global Network Advancement Group (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gna-g.net\/\">GNA-G<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>TNC 21 is held as an online event June 21-25. During the demo session at TNC 21, a prototype of the GREN Map will be shown. The prototype has been coordinated by Canadian NREN CANARIE and&nbsp;G\u00c9ANT. NORDUnet has contributed to throughout the development and has provided data on its current infrastructure for the GREN Map demonstration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the dawn of the internet, networks have created maps to visualize their reach, capabilities, capacities, operations, and more.
