Actually, I believe the physicists actually worry more (or at least as
much); there's lots of data to be moved around as part of the Large
Hadron Collider that is starting up at CERN.
Note that for VLBI for sure, and particle particle physics IMO,
fairly high packet loss rates could easily be
accommodated with no need for retransmission, and so there is no
reason to use TCP for these applications.
This situation cries out for some sort
of "worst than best effort" scavenger service. If anyone else feels
the same way, we should try and arrange a Bar BOF in Philadelphia.
