A dynamic circuit network (DCN) is an advanced computer networking technology that combines traditional packet-switched communication based on the Internet Protocol, as used in the Internet, with circuit-switched technologies that are characteristic of traditional telephone network systems. This combination allows user-initiated ad hoc dedicated allocation of network bandwidth for high-demand, real-time applications and network services, delivered over an optical fiber infrastructure.cite-ref-1[1]

Dynamic circuit networks were pioneered by the Internet2 advanced networking consortium.cite-ref-2[2] The experimental Internet2 HOPI infrastructure, decommissioned in 2007, was a forerunner to the current SONET-based Ciena Network underlying the Internet2 DCN. The Internet2 DCN began operation in late 2007 as part of the larger Internet2 network.cite-ref-pilotdef-3-0[3] It provides advanced networking capabilities and resources to the scientific and research communities, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project.cite-ref-4[4]

The Internet2 DCN is based on open-source, standards-based software, the Inter-domain Controller (IDC) protocol, developed in cooperation with ESnetcite-ref-5[5] and GÉANT2.cite-ref-pilotdef-3-1[3] The entire software set is known as the Dynamic Circuit Network Software Suite (DCN SS).

The Inter-domain Controller protocol manages the dynamic provisioning of network resources participating in a dynamic circuit network across multiple administrative domain boundaries.cite-ref-6[6] It is a SOAP-based XML messaging protocol, secured by Web Services Security (v1.1) using the XML Digital Signature standard. It is transported over HTTP Secure (HTTPS) connections.
