Appearance
FABRIC computer network is a "testbed" intended for cybersec experimentation, mainly or solely in US ; funded by NSF DARPA and other US govt agencies. It apparently runs on the basic internet infrastructure or closely in parallel and connects to it.

- builds on ESNet it seems, at least based on map of main nodes [1] which is pretty much identical to published ESNet maps.
- NSF-funded by NSF grant CNS-1935966 [2] (CNS might stand for computer and network systems) -- more than 20 m$
- IEEE-published description: DOI Bookmark: 10.1109/MIC.2019.2958545 ; https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/ic/2019/06/08972790/1gXC00ptWTu

- GENIE and ESNet are sources/partners or important related/similar predecessors to FABRIC ; GENIE doesn't seem to refer to GEnie but to a project at the U of Utah or successors of it University_of_Utah_School_of_Computing

- this network infrastructure takes certin new technologies as given; they can be built in to the infrastructure: IoT, 5G, AI/ML -- meaning I think that nodes can build a huge amount of that stuff into each node, an assumption not appropriate when original TCPIP nodes were made
- connects to PAWR
