- The Cornell Theory Center-with support from the National
- Science Foundation, IBM Corporation, the State of New York,
- and members of its Corporate Research Institute-provides
- supercomputing resources for researchers nationwide. The
- Center's resources include two IBM ES/3090 600J supercomput-
- ers, staff, and related programs that explore the use of
- experimental parallel architectures.
-
- Nearly four thousand researchers (including three Nobel
- Prize winners, fourteen members of the National Academy of
- Science, and ten members of the National Academy of
- Engineering) have used the Center's facilities to work on
- more than eight hundred research projects. This work, led
- primarily by university faculty at more than one hundred
- fifty institutions, represents a diversity of scientific
- disciplines, from the physical to social sciences.
-
- The Center's two IBM ES/3090 600Js each have six vector
- facilities and a peak performance of 827.6 megaflops. Each
- has 512 megabytes of memory and 2 gigabytes of expanded
- storage. The total disk storage capacity is 266 gigabytes.
- The principle operating system on the supercomputers is
- IBM's implementation of UNIX, AIX. Each user application
- may access up to 896 megabytes in AIX. There is software
- support for vectorization, including a vectorizing compiler
- and vector libraries. Both interactive and batch modes are
- provided in the Center's production environments. Users
- interested in using parallel computing for their production

- Strategic User Program.
-
- In addition to the production operating environments, full
- support for communications across the Internet is provided
- via TCP/IP. Interprocess communications, including remote
- logins, FTP file transfer, and X Window System are sup-
- ported. FORTRAN is the primary language; it is supported in
- scalar, vector, and parallel modes, with interactive debug
- and execution analysis. A high-performance C compiler is
- also available. Scientific subroutine libraries are avail-
- able, including vectorized versions. Online HELP facili-
- ties, UNIX man pages, and a Cornell set of TUTOR examples
- assist users. Graphics software supports both local
- hardware and remote facilities. Several well-known applica-
- tion packages and a list of software are available upon
- request.
-
- At Cornell, interactive graphics devices include TCP/IP-
- attached workstations. Hardcopy devices include videotape
- production, 35mm slides, plotters, color PostScript
- printers, and X Window System screen-dump printers. Remote
- researchers can use X Window System screen utilities or Tek-
- tronix emulation to view images. Remote users can also ftp
- various types of image files and metafiles to themselves for
- viewing with their own software. Graphics software sup-
- ported on the supercomputers includes WaveFront and X Window
- System in AIX. X Window System utilities include xim with
- WaveFront and volume-renderer interfaces, gnuPLOT, and a
- version of xmovie.

- Theory Center resources can be reached via NYSERNet, NSFNET,
- and associated regionals such as SURANet or Milnet (support-
- ing remote login, file transfer, and electronic mail),
- either directly or through a Sun front-end running Berkeley
- UNIX. The Theory Center provides file transfer and batch
- job submission through BITNET. Terminal traffic may access
- Theory Center via direct dial-ups.

- is allocated at no charge to researchers on the basis of
- peer review by the SDSC Allocation Committee or by the SDSC
- consortium institutions. Allocations by the committee are
- made independent of institutional affiliation or funding
- source. The projects must be non-proprietary. Applications
- are accepted four times per year (for 12-month allocations)
- for time beginning 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October.
- Applications must be received at least 45 days prior to the
- quarter in which you request your allocation to begin (e.g.,
- the deadline is 15 February for time beginning 1 April).
- For more information, contact the SDSC consultants at
- (619)534-5100 and request the Overview brochure (which con-
- tains the application form).

- Chapter 2: Library Catalogs
-
-
- A large number of libraries allow access to their library
- catalogs via the Internet. Such catalogs can be very useful
- for finding uncommon books not available at a local library.
- Once a book is located, it can often be borrowed by your
- local library through Interlibrary Loan. Another popular
- use of library catalogs is to check citations or references.
- Many catalogs also support more extended reference facili-
- ties.
-
- Please note that on-line catalogs often have a limited
- number of ports. Users are asked not to abuse their access.
-
- We would like to acknowledge the considerable assistance of
- Ron Larsen, Art St. George, and Joe St. Sauver in compiling
- this section.

- The Boston University Online Catalog (TOMUS) provides access
- to over 1.5 million volumes and 2.5 million microforms. The
- collection represents a majority of holdings for all
- libraries on campus.
-
- TOMUS is made by Carlyle Systems Inc. located in Emeryville
- California. The system implements a simple keyword search-
- ing strategy to locate information in various indexes,
- author, title, subject, and call number among them. Records
- can be displayed using several display formats: brief, nor-
- mal, and full.
-
- The online help screens are a valuable tool for beginners
- but become unnecessary after several uses.

-
- RLIN is the information management and retrieval system of
- The Research Libraries Group, Inc. It includes an online
- bibliographic database cataloging the holdings of well over
- one hundred research libraries, archives, and special
- collections-a total of over forty million records in August
- 1990. Entries are divided among eight files: books, seri-
- als, archival materials (e.g., personal papers, governmental
- records), maps, music scores, sound recordings, visual
- materials (e.g., films and photographs), and computer files.
- Smaller subject-oriented databases contain citations for
- articles in art and architectural periodicals; eighteenth-
- century English-language publications; art sales catalogs
- dating from the 1500s to the present; and research in the
- humanities scheduled for publication within the next two
- years.
-
- Users search RLIN with command-line searches rather than
- from a menu, by specifying index terms. Indexes available
- include title, subject, author, conference or corporation,
- ISBN, LC number, and many more; some are specific to the
- file being searched (such as the index to music publishers'
- unique numbers on sound recordings and scores). Search
- results can be further restricted by language, date of pub-
- lication, publisher, terms found in notes fields, etc.

- The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public cata-
- log of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
- and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports a
- separate online catalog for each campus.
-
- The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million
- titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries
- on the campus and at the Center for Research Libraries in
- Chicago. This represents roughly fifty percent of their
- collections. The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approxi-
- mately nine hundred thousand titles and represents eighty-
- five percent of the general collection.

- Northwestern University's LUIS online catalog provides
- author, title, and subject access to approximately 700,000
- bibliographic records, including monographs processed by the
- main library since 1970 and all serials, regardless of date.
- Holdings of the Medical, Law, Dental, and Transportation
- Libraries and the United Libraries of the Garrett Evangeli-
- cal and Seabury Theological Seminaries are also included.
-
- Remote users of Northwestern's LUIS catalog who are familiar
- with other NOTIS-based online catalogs will note some
- differences in our implementation. Of particular interest
- may be NU's provision of cross-references in the online
- catalog, a feature that is to appear in the commercial
- release scheduled for the end of 1990. This LUIS version
- does not provide keyword/Boolean searching, but does offer
- what we call "search qualification," allowing a user to
- limit an author, title, or subject search result by any of
- several elements present in the precoordinated indexes:
- date, format (e.g., serial, video), other word, or holding
- library. Use of this feature is explained in a help screen
- which may be accessed by typing an ampersand (&).

- Chapter 3: Data Archives
-
-
- The Internet is home to a wide variety of data archives. In
- this section we try to list the more important and the more
- uncommon archives. In particular, we do not list archives
- of mailing lists, other than those that do software distri-
- butions. Such archives can be located by asking the main-
- tainers of the mail lists.

-
- The Gene-Server is a mail response facility that will return
- a specific GenBank (tm) entry requested via e-mail.
-
- Other Services:
-
- The server now distributes Protein Information Resource
- (PIR, also known as NBRF) protein sequence database entries.
-
- Molecular biology software for Apple Macintosh, DOS, Unix
- and VAX-VMS computers is also available from the server.
-
- A number of information files (the R. Roberts Restriction
- Enzyme database; sequence analysis reference, and such) are
- distributed.
-
- The Matrix of Biological Knowledge Archive-Server files are
- now available only from this address.
-
- Electronic mail searching of the protein sequence database
- is available; you simply send a properly formatted protein
- "query" sequence to a specific address on the server and the
- search will be performed automatically and the results
- returned via electronic mail.

-
- The server can be accessed via e-mail on the Internet, BIT-
- NET, and UUCP networks. The addresses to use are:
-
- gene-server@bchs.uh.edu (Internet)
- bchs.uh.edu!genbank-server (Usenet)
- gene-server%bchs.uh.edu@CUNYVM (BITNET)
-
- Please be aware that a mail response program is not "smart"
- and can only respond to a limited set of commands. GenBank
- entries are available by name and accession number only.
-
- Your request can consist of one of the following:
-
- HELP
- SEND HELP
- SEND LOCUS genbank_locus_name
- SEND INDEX index_name
- SEND ACCESSION accession_number
-
- "HELP" will result in a small help file being sent back;
- everyone should request the help message. The file will
- contain up-to-date information about the server, access,
- release numbers, and policies. The help message also
- includes all index names, so "SEND INDEX" no longer works.
- "SEND INDEX index_name" (where "index_name" is one of the
- index files listed in the HELP message) will work. "SEND
- LOCUS genbank_locus_name" will return via e-mail the
- requested locus if it exists, and an error message if it
- does not. Use the index file in the HELP message to find
- the name of the entry, or use the accession number.
-
- The server runs every half hour and will handle only one
- request at a time. If you want more than one entry, send
- separate requests.
-
- Note that large GenBank entries (Lambda, EBV, tobacco and
- liverwort chloroplasts) may not make it through the thread
- of mailers. UUCP mailers, in particular, silently enforce a
- limit of 64,000 characters in a single mail message. Note
- also that Usenet mail is very unreliable; you should con-
- sult the "pathalias" database to construct a mail path from
- your machine to bchs.uh.edu. A local Unix mail wizard may
- be able to help.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: "gene-server@bchs.uh.edu" is an MX record.
- If you have problems reaching that address, ask your local
-

- addresses given above.

-
- _M_i_s_c_e_l_l_a_n_e_o_u_s
-
- The current version of GenBank on the server is Release 64.
- The server is updated as often as possible given funding
- (none) and disk space constraints. The server may be
- updated daily in the future.
-
- Information and software is exchanged regularly with the
- European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) File Server,
- but the specific files, syntax, and information vary between
- the two servers.
-
- The server contains a simple response to someone asking for
- too many loci or otherwise abusing the service: it stops
- working for them.
-
- Questions can be sent to davison@uh.edu (Internet) or
- DAVISON@UHOU(BITNET). Requests to talk to a human rather
- than a mail response program should be sent to archive-
- management@bchs.uh.edu. By popular demand, archive-
- managment@bchs.uh.edu also works.
-
- This service is provided by the Institute for Molecular
- Biology, the Department of Biochemical and Biophysical Sci-
- ences, the University of Houston Academic Computing Ser-
- vices, and the Office of the Vice President for Information
- Technologies.
-
- The server is not funded or related in any with the DHHS,
- PHS, National Institutes of Health, or its contractors or
- subcontractors on the GenBank contract. GenBank is a trade-
- mark of the US Department of Health and Human Services, US
- Public Health Service.

- The LiMB (LIsting of Molecular Biology databases) database
- is a computer-based collection of information on molecular
- biology and related databases. LiMB is intended to facili-
- tate locating and accessing these databases as well as to
- provide an ``overview'' that will help in developing a sys-
- tematic, coordinated approach to designing, developing and
- maintaining these databases.
-
- Each entry in LiMB currently consists of 54 fields, includ-
- ing: database staff names and addresses; database mainte-
- nance hardware and software; scope of coverage and database
- goals; details about submission and access to the data sets;
- database size; and types of data covered by the database.
- LiMB entries are based on questionnaires filled out by the
- database managers or, in the absence of a completed ques-
- tionnaire, on secondary sources (e.g., a journal article).
- LiMB is currently maintained in a relational DBMS.

-
- The Medieval and Early Modern Data Bank is a resource pro-
- ject established at Rutgers University and co-sponsored by
- The Resource Libraries Group, Inc. Its aim is to provide
- scholars with a continually expanding reference library of
- information concerning the medieval and early modern
- periods, circa A.D. 800-1800. Because MEMDB is a computer-
- based, electronic reference tool, it offers remarkable
- facilities for immediate information retrieval and manipula-
- tion.
-
- In 1989-90 MEMDB will become an on-line system, available to
- subscribers through RLG's Research Libraries Information
- Network (RLIN). When MEMDB becomes RLIN-based its master
- data set will be vastly expanded. MEMDB's scope will extend
- to virtually any scholarly compilation of data that can be
- presented in a tabular form. New material to be incor-
- porated will include information on such subjects as wages
- and prices, household size, mortality, property-holdings,
- charity, and nutrition, drawn from such sources as:
-
- o+ taxation records
-
- o+ wills and inventories
-
- o+ parish records and vital statistics

- The IBM Supercomputing Program Data Base is a listing of
- information concerning programs that have been written or
- converted to use IBM 3090 vector or parallel processing.
- The data base is maintained by the Computer Center at the
- University of Illinois at Chicago with support from IBM.
- Data provided for each program include the program's appli-
- cation area, name, a description, the environment under
- which it operates, the person to contact for more informa-
- tion and the approximate cost for academic user. The pro-
- grams themselves are not available through the data base.
- The data base is referred to as ``supersft'' for ``supercom-
- puting software.''
-
- _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _a_c_c_e_s_s
-
- This data base is accessible to other universities through
- BITNET and the Internet. A LISTSERV virtual machine named
- SUPERSFT has been established at UIC for easy retrieval of
- the information.
-
- _W_h_o _C_a_n _U_s_e _T_h_e _D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e
-
- Access to the database is open to anyone with a BITNET or

- Three files available through this LISTSERV provide informa-
- tion about the data base, an index to the data base, and a
- form for submission of information. To receive these files,
- issue the following commands from a VM system on BITNET:
-
- tell listserv at uicvm get supersft help [for the help file]
- tell listserv at uicvm get supersft index [for the index]
- tell listserv at uicvm get supersft form [for the submission form]
-
- If you do not use a VM system, send a standard note
- addressed to ``listserv at uicvm'' if you're on BITNET or
- ``listserv@uicvm.cc.uic.edu'' if you're on the Internet.
- The note should contain just the appropriate LISTSERV com-
- mands, such as
-
- get [filename1 filetype1]
- get [filename2 filetype2]
-
- substituting the names of the files of interest.
-
- Submissions to the data base can be made either electroni-
- cally or by mail. The information submission form is in the

- NICOLAS is a menu-driven network user help system that func-
- tions both as an information server and an inter-network
- gateway. As an information server, NICOLAS provides syn-
- taxes for inter-network mail addressing, general information
- about wide-area networks, networking-related "how to" files,
- information on current NASA flight projects, and a variety
- of network- and computer-related information of specific
- interest to the NASA community. As an automated inter-
- network gateway, NICOLAS enables users to connect to DECnet
- or TCP/IP nodes, login to their NASAMail and GSFCMail
- accounts, connect directly to a number of other online ser-
- vices not normally available to TCP/IP users, perform a
- variety of "yellow pages" functions, and transfer files
- between DECnet and TCP/IP systems and from either DECnet or
- TCP/IP nodes to BITNET nodes.

- The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) is an ongoing
- project to organize a broad range of published extragalactic
- data into a computer-based central archive designed for fast
- and flexible query via electronic networks.
-
- The January 1991 version of NED provides positions, names,
- and basic data for 132,000 extragalactic objects, as well as
- related bibliographic references and notes from catalogs and
- other publications. It forwards to the user, upon request,
- files containing the data retrieved during a session. It
- also allows users to browse abstracts of recent articles of
- extragalactic interest from five major journals (_A & _A, _A_J
- _A_p_J, _M_N_R_A_S, _P_A_S_P, their Letters and Supplements), and to
- view the contents of several major catalogs. Future
- releases will provide data from the current literature and

- Unidata is a national program to help universities acquire
- weather data and to analyze and display those data for
- teaching and research. The program is funded by the
- National Science Foundation and managed by the University
- Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Unidata negotiates a
- group contract with a commercial data-broadcasting firm so
- that universities may receive weather data at a discount.
- Unidata also develops and distributes software for captur-
- ing, analyzing, and displaying those data locally.
- Unidata-developed software includes the Unidata Local Data
- Manager (LDM), which captures real-time weather data from a
- satellite broadcast, and netCDF, a network-transparent,
- architecture-independent form for storing scientifc data.
- Unidata also distributes applications software developed and
- licensed by universities, such as Purdue University's
- Weather Processor (WXP) and the University of Wisconsin's
- McIDAS-OS/2.

-
- Unidata is connected via a LAN to NCAR, an NSFNET backbone
- site. UNIX users can access a compressed tar file

- Archie is a central database for information about archive
- sites. It speeds the task of finding a specific program on
- the net. Archie keeps track of UNIX sites; VMS sites may be
- added in the near future.
-
- Archie is a pair of software tools: the first maintains a
- list of several hundred Internet ftp archive sites, each of
- which is updated about once a month. The second tool allows
- outsiders to log onto the host to query the database.
- Archie also maintains a Software Description Database of the
- names and descriptions of various software packages, docu-
- ments, and datasets that are kept on anonymous ftp archive
- sites around the Internet. The whatis command allows you to
- search this database.

- information about various topics, including the commands
- available and how to use them. The "raw" listings of ftp
- sites are stored in compressed form in the directory
- ftp/archie/listings. Manual pages for archie are available
- in the directory ftp/archie/doc. The file archie.man.roff
- contains a UNIX-style manual entry in *roff format;
- archie.man.txt contains the same information preformatted
- for people on non-UNIX systems.
-
- Users can ask archie to search for specific name strings.

- string "kcl" and tell you which hosts have entries with this

- information. This example would find archive sites that are
- storing Kyoto Common Lisp. Complete anonymous ftp listings
- of sites in the database can be obtained via the site com-
- mand; for a list of sites, see the list command.
-
- There is an electronic mail interface to archie. To receive
- the latest information on this interface, send mail to
- archie@cs.mcgill.ca with the word help in the subject line
- or body.
-
- If you can't access the manual files via interactive ftp or
- the mail-based servers, send a message to archie-
- admin@cs.mcgill.ca asking to receive a copy of the manual by
- mail.

- Send comments, bug reports, etc. to: archie-l@cs.mcgill.ca.
- If you know of an anonymous ftp site that archie doesn't
- seem to maintain, or if you have additions or corrections to
- the Software Description Database, send mail to: archie-
- admin@cs.mcgill.ca.
-
- "Satellite" archie servers are being set up in Finland and
- the Netherlands in order to lessen the load on the tran-
- satlantic Internet link.
-
- The maintainers of archie strongly encourage maintainers of
- anonymous ftp archives to do two things:
-
-
- o+ Send additions and corrections to the Software Distri-
- bution Database to archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca.
-
-
- o+ Maintain compressed, automated, recursive listings
- (ls-1R.Z files) on their machines. This lessens net-
- work loads and makes life easier for archie. Send
- queries for specific formats to archie-
- admin@cs.mcgill.ca.

- send a specially formatted message and the document you
- request will be automatically returned to you via electronic
- mail.
-
- _A_n_o_n_y_m_o_u_s _F_T_P. Internet users who are familiar with this
- file-transfer method can quickly and easily transfer STIS
- documents to their local system for browsing and printing.
-
- _O_n_l_i_n_e _S_T_I_S. If you have a VT100 emulator and an Internet
- connection or a modem, you can log on to the online system.
- The online system features full-text search-and-retrieval
- software to help you locate documents and award abstracts
- that are of interest to you. Once you locate a document,
- you can browse through it online or download it using the
- Kermit protocol, or request that it be mailed to you.
-
- _D_i_r_e_c_t _e_l_e_c_t_r_o_n_i_c _m_a_i_l. You can request that STIS e-mail you
- an electronic copy of every document that is added to the
- system. This is particularly effective for periodic and
- time-sensitive publications, such as the _B_u_l_l_e_t_i_n.
-
- The STIS flyer provides additional information on accessing
- STIS. To obtain a copy of the flyer, send an electronic
- mail message to stisserv@nsf.gov. The Subject field will be
- ignored. Put the following lines in the text of the mes-
- sage:

- The LIDO MAILSERVER for AI literature at the University of
- Saarbruecken, Germany allows for the retrieval of biblio-
- graphic information on AI-related publications via elec-
- tronic mail. The references are returned in LaTeX (Bibtex)
- format or in a refer-like format. As of 1991, more than
- twenty thousand documents are contained in its database,
- with an annual increase of twenty-five percent. About four
- thousand bibliographic requests are currently handled each
- year.
-
- Queries to the bibliographic database may refer to the
- author name(s), the title, and the year of publication.
- Substring search and regular expressions (egrep) are possi-
- ble. Global keywords or classification hierarchies cannot
- be accessed. Users who already have a certain overview of a
- field will thus probably profit more from the LIDO MAIL-
- SERVER than novices familiarizing themselves with a new
- area.
-
- For more information on this service, send the following e-
- mail message:
-
- To: lido@cs.uni-sb.de
- Subject: lidosearch info english
- The body of the message should be empty.

-
-
- The Internet supports several databases that contain basic
- information about users, such as e-mail addresses, telephone
- numbers, and postal addresses. These databases can be
- searched to get information about particular individuals.
- Because they serve a function akin to the telephone book,
- these databases are often referred to as "white pages."

- The Knowbot Information Service is a white pages ``meta-
- service'' that provides a uniform interface to heterogeneous
- white pages services in the Internet. Using the Knowbot
- Information Service, one can form a single query that can
- search for white pages information from the NIC WHOIS ser-
- vice, the CSNET WHOIS service, the NYSERNet White Pages
- Pilot Project, and MCI Mail, among others, and have the
- responses displayed in a single, uniform format.
-
- _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
-
- There are three ways to gain access to the Knowbot Informa-
- tion Service:
-
- 1. Obtain the Knowbot User Service user interface program,
- netaddress, for local installation
-
- 2. Telnet to the Knowbot Information Service. Currently,
- there are servers accessible through a telnet to port 185 on
- hosts <nri.reston.va.us> and <sol.bucknell.edu>. From a
- UNIX host, use <telnet nri.reston.va.us 185>. The commands
- help and man summarize the command interface.
-
- 3. Send mail to userid <kis> at one of the Knowbot Informa-
- tion Service hosts.

- CSNET and BITNET merged in the autumn of 1989 to form the
- Corporation for Research and Educational Networking (CREN).
- CSNET continues to supply international data communication
- through TCP/IP and allied email-only services. Members of
- CREN/CSNET include universities, colleges, government agen-
- cies, nonprofit organizations, and industrial research
- laboratories in the U.S. and abroad.
-
- CSNET offers several connection options to serve the needs
- of large and small organizations. The options include
- dial-up delivery of electronic mail, dial-up IP-based
- interactive service, and IP-based interactive service using
- leased telephone and X.25 circuits.
-
- CSNET also provides technical information to network users
- and support services to member organizations. It operates a
- 24-hour telephone hotline and a "help" mailbox, publishes
- CSNET-FORUM (an online newsletter), and distributes documen-
- tation on network use and services by email through an
- automated document server and other automated servers. Net-
- work users may access the same information by anonymous FTP.
-
- Network users may register themselves in the CSNET User Name
- Server, an automated directory database of users and hosts
- maintained at the CSNET Coordination and Information Center

- JvNCnet is a North East Research Regional Network with
- direct access to the NSFNET backbone. JvNCnet also has
- international connections to several Scandinavian countries
- (Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark) via the
- network's connection to NORDUnet, and to France and Switzer-
- land via the link to INRIA.
-
- The regional network, the first T-1 (1.544 Mbps) academic
- network, evolved from the thirteen members of the Consortium
- for Scientific Computing to a regional network, currently
- with thirty-one sites concentrated in the Northeast. When
- the John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center closed in
- April 1990, JvNCnet moved its headquarters to, and became
- part of, Princeton University.
-
- JvNCnet is engineered as a backbone network where backbone
- nodes are connected to each other with multiple T1 lines.
- These backbone nodes fan out to connect JvNCnet members at
- T1, fractional T1 (128 kbps), 56 kbps, 19.2 kbps, and 9.6
- kbps over dedicated and dial-up lines. Backbone nodes are
- located at phone company premises in the cities of Princeton
- (NJ), Trenton (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Boston (MA), Provi-
- dence (RI), New Haven (CT), New York (NY), and Newark (NJ).
- Member institutions connect to the closest backbone node,

- Los Nettos is a regional network in the Los Angeles area.
-
- Important features of Los Nettos are that it is (1) an IP
- network, and (2) it is ``high speed.'' All connections and
- links are at least T1 (1.5 Mbps) capacity. A goal of Los
- Nettos is to provide an environment to develop very interac-
- tive network applications.
-
- Los Nettos is operated by the member organizations, not by
- DARPA, or NASA, NSF, or DOE, etc. It may be used for any
- educational or research purpose.
-
- The member organizations are universities and research
- laboratories. The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of
- the University of Southern California (USC) acts as the
- agent for Los Nettos.
-
- Seven organizations are already participating in this net-
- work (ISI, USC, JPL, CalTech, UCLA, TIS and Rand). A number
- of other research centers have expressed strong interest in
- participating.
-
- Los Nettos will interoperate with CERFnet and other networks
- to provide access to special resources (for example, the San
- Diego Supercomputer Center), or to other regional networks

- industrial, government, and non-profit organizations in New
- England. It was established by Boston University, Harvard,
- and MIT late in 1988; as of June, 1989, it included 14
- organizations. NEARnet is operated by BBN Systems and Tech-
- nologies under contract to MIT.
-
- NEARnet uses the TCP/IP protocol suite and supports leased-
- line and microwave links at speeds from 9.6 Kb/s to 10 Mb/s.
-
- NEARnet has the goal of creating a regional ``information
- infrastructure'' in New England to support education,
- research and development. Special services and facilities,
- such as the Connection Machine (TM), the Massachusetts
- Microelectronics Center, and library catalogs, will be
- available over NEARnet.
-
- NEARnet is linked to the NSFNET backbone via connections to
- the John von Neumann Center network and NYSERnet. It also
- has a link to the Defense Research Internet.

- Sesquinet is a regional network in Texas. It was organized
- in 1986 specifically to fill the regional network role
- within the NSFnet scheme. It has been operational since May
- 1987.
-
- Sesquinet is primarily an IP network, and connects directly
- to the NSFnet backbone via an NSS at Rice University.
-
- In cooperation with THEnet we also carry intra-state DECnet
- Phase IV that can be passed to SPAN/HEPnet.
-
- Our original and slowest lines are 56kb/s, and these remain
- the normative circuit technology for access from individual
- sites. We are deploying T1 circuits in two ways:
-
- o+ In cooperation with THEnet, we are building an inter-
- city redundant high-speed backbone. Initially, this
- will be a T1 triangle connecting Houston (Rice Univer-
- sity), Austin (the University of Texas at Austin), and
- Dallas (the University of Texas at Dallas).
-
- o+ In addition, some individual sites are connected to
- this intercity backbone via T1 circuits. The Baylor
- College of Medicine is the first to do so.

- The NASA Science Network (NSN) is an IP network which sup-
- ports scientists and flight projects funded by NASA's Office
- of Space Science and Applications (OSSA). The network is
- used to provide remote access to such resources as scien-
- tific databases and supercomputing centers. The NSN main-
- tains hubs at several NASA centers which are interconnected
- in a partial mesh topology. These backbone sites use terres-
- trial circuits ranging in speed from 168 to 672 Kbps. From
- these hubs radiate numerous tail circuits; the majority of
- these tails are 56 Kbps, with a few at 9.6 Kbps as well.
-
- The NSN was designed to provide NASA's scientific communi-
- ties with a more general networking approach that would pro-
- vide full networking services in a vendor-independent
- environment. These services include file transfer and remote
- logon as well as email.
-
- NSN is a NASA-wide network managed by the NASA Science
- Internet Project Office (NSIPO) at Ames Research Center. It
- is used for NASA-funded space science research programs and
- flight projects.
-
- Users include NASA sites, and government facilities,
- research, and academic sites conducting NASA-funded
- research.

- PREPnet is a mid-level network serving Pennsylvania since
- May 1988 for purposes of education, research, technology
- transfer, and economic development within the state. PREP-
- net was initiated through the joint efforts of the govern-
- ment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bell Telephone of
- Pennsylvania, and the PREPnet consortium of universities
- (Carnegie Mellon, Drexel University, Lehigh University,
- Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, University
- of Pennsylvania, and University of Pittsburgh). The Com-
- monwealth of Pennsylvania is the inter-LATA carrier and Bell
- Telephone of Pennsylvania is the network operator, the owner
- of the equipment, and the marketing agent for network
- access. Supercomputing resources and a gateway to the
- Internet (NSFNET) are provided by the Pittsburgh Supercom-
- puting Center. Other member institutions have made a
- variety of information resources available on PREPnet, such
- as university library catalogs, bulletin boards, and various
- other databases containing statistical, agricultural, demo-
- graphic, economic, and medical data. The network architec-
- ture consists of a T1 backbone connecting hubs in Pitts-
- burgh, Philadelphia, and Allentown/Bethlehem, and a 56-Kbps
- connection to a hub in Scranton. PREPnet uses the Transmis-
- sion Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

- SURAnet, the Southeastern Universities Research Association
- Network, is a project of SURA, the Southeastern Universities
- Research Assocation. SURA is a consortium of universities
- which supports, manages, and operates projects too large or
- complex to be handled by a single university.
-
- SURAnet, a TCP/IP network, is one of the NSFNET mid-level
- networks. 8 data lines operate at T-1 speed (1.5 Mbps) and
- the reminder at 56 kbps. A redundant T-1 backbone is planned
- for the near future.
-
- SURAnet is connected to the NSFNET backbone at the Univer-
- sity of Maryland.
-
- SURAnet's geographic area includes the District of Columbia
- and 13 states in the southeast US: Alabama, Delaware,
- Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
- sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
- and West Virginia.
-
- While SURA, the parent organization, is a consortium of
- academic organizations, SURAnet members comprise approxi-
- mately two-thirds academic institutions and one-third non-
- academic sites.

- The Commercial Mail Relay service currently provides mail
- relay functions between the Internet and three commercial
- electronic mail systems: Telemail, MCI-Mail, and DIALCOM
- systems (IEEE-Compmail, NSFMAIL, and USDA-MAIL).
-
- To send mail via the Commercial Mail Relay users on each
- system use their normal mail programs to prepare, send, and
- receive messages. Messages to be forwarded are sent to the
- CMR mailbox called ``Intermail'' on the local mail system.
- The CMR operates by having a program service mailboxes in
- both the local and the destination mail systems. When the
- right information is supplied either in the ARPA-Mail header
- ``TO'' field, at the beginning of the text of a message, the
- program forwards those messages into the other mail system.
-
- The Simple Forwarding Header (SFH) method of addressing mail
- for each system follows. First send a message to
- ``Intermail@ISI.EDU'', and use one of the SFHs in the body
- of the text.
-

- To: [user/org]system/country

-
- Thus, e-mail messages (i.e., ``traffic'') that meet the
- acceptable use policy of an agency and pass through some
- facility of that agency (i.e., ``the originating member'')
- on the way to Intermail or CMR are allowed. The current
- member agencies of the FRICC are DARPA, NSF, DOE, NASA, AND

- _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n
-
- The Terrestrial Wideband Network was built and deployed by
- BBN STC as a part of the initial phase of the Defense
- Research Internet (DRI). In May 1989, this network replaced
- the Satellite Wideband Network, which had been in operation
- for the previous 8 years. The Satellite Wideband was a
- domestic 3 Mbit/sec network that had been used for research
- into the use of packet satellite technology to efficiently
- support applications with varying delay, throughput, and
- reliability requirements, e.g., interconnection of distri-
- buted operating system clusters, development of end-to-end
- bulk transfer protocols, multimedia conferencing, intercon-
- nection real-time interactive simulation/training systems.
- The Terrestrial Wideband continues this tradition by using
- one of the cross-country T1 trunks from the DARPA National
- Networking Testbed (NNT) to support research in high speed
- networking, to provide connectivity among academic and
- government sites, and to support a testbed for Internet pro-
- tocol development and experimentation with applications.
- Currently this network is carrying cross-country Internet
- datagram traffic associated with DARPA-funded projects. It
- also supports a research environment for multimedia con-
- ferencing and voice/video conferencing using gateways which
- use a real-time connection oriented protocol over a connec-
- tionless network.

- Access to the Terrestrial Wideband is typically via an IP or
- ST gateway. Connection of such a host is at the discretion
- of DARPA. The current network includes the following Wide-
- band Packet Switches (WPS) and user sites -- BBN (BBN), NY
- (RADC), Washington (DARPA, NRL), Chicago (NCSA), LA (ISI),
- SRI (SRI, Stanford). This fall, Ft Monmouth will be con-
- nected to the NY WPS and CMU will be connected to a WPS to
- be installed in Pittsburgh.

-
- The Terrestrial Wideband Network is to be used for DARPA-
- funded research and development activities of the Internet
- community. Users typically access the network via gateways
- which have Internet connectivity to the Terrestrial Wideband
- Network. Applications which might benefit most from the
- Terrestrial Wideband Network are those which require high
- bandwidth and/or low delay between geographically distant
- sites, such as bulk file transfer, remote procedure calls,
- conferencing, graphic simulations, and distributed operating
- systems.
-
- _M_i_s_c_e_l_l_a_n_e_o_u_s _I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
-
- a) System and Network Architecture
- The Terrestrial Wideband is currently a trans-
- continental network built on T1 trunks belonging to the
- National Networking Testbed (NNT). The Wideband packet
- switch nodes (WPSs) are located at unattended NNT
- Points of Presence (POPs). They are based on Butterfly
- multiprocessor hardware and are connected via the T1
- fiberoptic trunks into a backbone configuration. The
- WPSs pass network traffic using the Dual Bus Protocol
- reservation scheme. Local area networks at user sites,
- e.g., ethernets, are connected to the backbone packet
- switches via Internet IP and ST gateways and T1 tail
- circuits.
-
- The current topology of the network, which resulted
- from external constraints, is a series of packet
- switches connected in a line by T1 trunks. This can
- result in partitioning of the network in the event of a
- packet switch failure. To minimize outages, the Ter-
- restrial Wideband Network includes a number of
- features. The multiprocessor hardware configuration
- used for the packet switch provides redundancy in case
-
-
-
- September 27, 1989 NNSC Section 5.21, Page 2
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- a processor node fails. Also, a failsafe box isolates
- the WPS upon detection of an outage while continuing to
- maintain connectivity between the T1 trunks in and out
- of the failed WPS, thus maintaining network continuity.
- The network also allows remote dial-in access for a
- number of emergency functions that would otherwise have
- to be performed by on-site staff.
-
- b) Operations
- A remote monitoring center provides network control
- capabilities, and a dialup capability provides backup
- monitoring and control when necessary. The Terrestrial
- Wideband Network packet switch software can be updated
- via remote downloading. Network operations support is
- provided between 8AM and 8PM Eastern time.
-
- c) Protocols
-
- - TCP/IP traffic is supported by the Terrestrial Wide-
- band Network. This is accomplished by using standard
- Internet gateways.
-
- - Stream Protocol (ST) protocol (based on IEN 119) is
- used between gateways which support voice/video
- traffic. This is a connection-oriented protocol which
- operates over the connectionless Terrestrial Wideband
- Network, and allows the gateways to send packets to
- other destinations with minimal delay, as is required
- for voice/video conferencing.
-
- - Gateways communicate with the Terrestrial Wideband
- Network packet switches (WPSs) via the Host Access
- Protocol (HAP), specified in RFC 907-A. This is a pro-
- tocol by which a host can send datagrams across the
- network, and can request and manage network bandwidth.
-
- - The WPS software provides an echo host which
- responds to ICMP ping packets.
-
- - Dual Bus Protocol provides a link-level transport
- protocol which uses a reservation mechanism to provide
- access fairness for each WPS. This is a type of Dis-
- tributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) protocol similar to the
- IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) protocol,
- but with features that support wide area networking and
- multimedia conferencing. Whereas conventional packet
- store and forwarding would involve per packet forward-
- ing processing and buffering at every intermediate
-
-
-
- September 27, 1989 NNSC Section 5.21, Page 3
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- node, a DQDB protocol performs processing and buffering
- only at the entry point and minimizes the processing
- and buffering at subsequent nodes along the trunk until
- the exit point.
-
- - Wideband Monitoring Protocol (IP protocol number 78)
- is used between the WPSs and the monitoring center.

- Research Establishment (NTARE) accesses the network via
- RSRE. Connections to the SHAPE Technical Centre (STC) in
- the Netherlands and the Warrior Preparation Center (WPC) in
- West Germany will be added within the next few months.
-
- The US-to-Europe links are provided via full duplex 64kbps
- connections between a Butterfly Gateway located at BBN in

- SWITCH is a foundation, sponsored by the government and the
- Swiss universities, providing teleinformatics services to
- all Swiss universities and to various research institutes by
- connecting to national and international resources. SWITCH
- started operation in October 1988.
-
- SWITCHlan is a national backbone network which connects all
- universities using leased lines with speeds between
- 128kbit/s and 2Mbit/s. For routing on these national leased
- lines SWITCH uses CISCO router-bridges. The protocols sup-
- ported are DECnet, TCP/IP, X.25 and ISO IP.
-
- All Swiss supercomputers are connected to SWITCHlan. Access
- to some library catalogs will become available later on.
-
- International connections on the network level will go into
- operation in January 1990:
-
- - IP connection to CERN with 128kbit/s.
-
- - IP connection to the Internet/NSFnet with 64kbit/s
- through INRIA, France to Princeton University, USA.
-
- A connection to the COSINE/IXI pilot X.25 network will be
- realized in the first quarter of 1990.

- BARRNet is the Northern California regional hub of the
- NSFNet, the National Science Foundation Network. BARRNet's
- purpose is to facilitate scientific and educational communi-
- cations using high-performance computer networking technol-
- ogy and wide-area telecommunications utilities, and to pro-
- mote collaboration, sharing of information, and wide access
- to computer resources for research and educational purposes.
- BARRNet was established in 1986 under a grant from the NSF
- by a consortium of six members: Stanford University, the
- NASA Ames Research Center, and the Berkeley, Santa Cruz, San
- Francisco, and Davis campuses of the University of Califor-
- nia. Since then BARRNet has grown to include several addi-
- tional government and private research laboratories and more
- than twenty-five corporate affiliates.
-
- Four BARRNet sites-UC Berkeley, Stanford University, the
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and NASA Ames-are
- connected in a ring by data circuits running at T1 speed
- (1.544 Mbps). UC Davis, which is connected to UC Berkeley
- by a T1 line, is also considered a core site; the remaining
- sites are connected to one of the core sites, typically by
- T1 or 56kbps lines, but in some cases by microwave or direct
- Ethernet (10 Mbps) connections. BARRNet is connected to the
- NSFNET by an NSS (Nodal Switching Subsystem) located at
- Stanford University. Stanford is also the site of the
- BARRNet Network Operating Center, or NOC.

- NorthWestNet (NWNet) is a mid-level network of the National
- Science Foundation Network (NSFNET). NWNet provides commun-
- ication with NSFNET for research centers throughout the
- Northwest, including sites in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North
- Dakota, Oregon, and Washington. The network supports both
- IP and DECnet within NWNet, but access to the NSFNET is res-
- tricted to IP only. A primary focus of NWNet is providing
- access by researchers in the Northwest to supercomputing
- resources.

- ton. The network is currently implemented using a mix of
- T1, 56 Kb/s, and voice grade (19.2 Kb/s) leased lines in a
- mostly-tree topology.
-
- NWNet is funded by a grant from the National Science Founda-
- tion and by membership fees. A Management Committee
- comprised largely of representatives from the member insti-
- tutions governs NWNet. Other committees that advise the
- Management Committee include the Technical Committee and the
- Training Committee (a subcommittee of the Technical Commit-
- tee).
-
- Several member institutions have large computers accessible
- via the Internet. For example, there are two Cray XMP/48
- computers at NWNet sites (Boeing and Battelle). Some other
- resources available to NWNet members include: a mail gate-
- way machine, relay.cac.washington.edu, which can route mail
- between the Internet, BITNET, CSNET, and UUCP networks;
- Internet access to the University of Washington library
- catalog (uwcat.lib.washington.edu-use the keypad + key or
- enter key to change screens; break the telnet connection to
- close) and the University of Oregon library catalog
- (janus.uoregon.edu); and the University of Washington Com-
- puting Information Center (CIC), which has more than 8000
- books, 1200 serial titles, and 8500 technical reports
- related to computing.
-
- NWNet sponsors a yearly seminar highlighting the resources
- and services of NWNet, as well as discipline-specific
- workshops for interested researchers currently using super-
- computers or contemplating such use. We also maintain and
- distribute a training kit containing a manual and videotape
- geared toward training user-services personnel in TCP/IP,
- the use of NWNet, national networks, and supercomputing
- resources.

- SUNET, or the Swedish University Network, interconnects
- local and regional networks at universities in Sweden. The
- goal of SUNET is to provide good data communications that
- are beneficial to the universities. The network is used by
- researchers and teachers of all disciplines. SUNET provides
- Swedish academic and research users with network resources
- for communications both within Sweden and around the world
- through electronic mail, remote login, file transfer, and
- other methods.
-
- SUNET is a protocol-independent network based on Ethernet
- (IEEE 802.3) interconnections. Currently only IP and DECnet
- (and EARN) are carried over the backbone. The configuration
- of SUNET is a backbone star network centered at KTH in
- Stockholm with 64 kbps lines interconnecting the local Eth-
- ernets to one nation wide Ethernet. The lines are intercon-
- nected via remote bridges (Vitalink). Routers are used to
- support the various protocols: Cisco for IP and VAXes for
- DECnet (and EARN). SUNET also maintains a separate X.25 net-
- work.
-
- There are two interconnected central mail hubs, one for
- IP/SMTP, RSCS/BSMTP and VMS/Mail and one for EAN/X.400 mail.
-
- There are (at least) 3000 IP hosts and 650 DECnets in SUNET.

- The Texas Higher Education Network (THEnet) was formed in
- 1986 through a combination of networking efforts at Texas
- A&M University, the University of Houston, the University of
- Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the Univer-
- sity of Texas System. It covers the state of Texas, with a
- link to the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores
- de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. THEnet's goal is to pro-
- vide and advance the electronic exchange of information in
- support of the teaching, research, development, and related
- collaborative activities of the Texas higher education and
- research communities.
-
- THEnet is not a homogeneous network utilizing a single net-
- working protocol. Rather it is a network of physical con-
- nections between and within organizations making various use
- of IP, DECnet, SNA, RSCS/NJE, OSI, and compressed digital
- video. It provides researchers, faculty, and students the
- networking "tools" that they need for their particular
- situations. THEnet currently connects over 60 institutions,

- speed backbone between Israel's seven major universities.
- ILAN has international connections to EARN and Nysernet.
-
- ILAN's former NJE traffic and all EARN/Bitnet network ser-
- vices now run on ILAN's TCP/IP backbone. We plan a 56kb
- link to Nysernet (the New York State Educational and
- Research Network), a regional network of NSFNET (the US
- National Science Foundation Network). In the interim, ILAN
- will connect to Nysernet via a 9.6kb IP link.

- Our backbone supports "Aleph," a project for the computeri-
- zation and interconnection of all university library card
- catalogs, which is near to completion. This system allows
- students and faculty to search card catalogs at local
- university libraries as well as libraries located at other
- universities within Israel. Since this system was developed
- long before the ILAN project, it was based on DECNET

- funded by the Department of Energy Office of Energy Research
- (DOE/OER) for the purpose of supporting open scientific
- research in multiple programs. ESnet is intended to facili-
- tate access to resources at ER scientific facilities, to
- provide for information dissemination among scientific col-
- laborators throughout all ER programs, and to provide
- widespread access to existing supercomputer facilities via
- remote login, electronic mail, file transfer, and related
- utilities.
-
- ESnet is installed and operated by the National Energy
- Supercomputer Center (NERSC), formerly known as the National
- Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center (NMFECC), which is
- located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in
- California. ESnet policy is guided by the ESnet Steering
- Committee, appointed by the DOE Office of Scientific Comput-
- ing, with representatives from each of the Energy Research
- Programs. The ESnet program plan, prepared by this commit-
- tee, is available from the National Technical Information
- Service as report DOE/ER-0341 (June 1987).
-
- The ESnet backbone consists of largely of T1 links (1.544
- megabit per second) interconnecting nineteen sites in the
- United States. Network access to Europe and Japan is also
- supplied in collaboration with foreign research facilities.

- CERFnet, is a data communications regional network that
- operates throughout California. The purpose of CERFnet is
- to advance science and education by assisting the inter-
- change of information among research and educational insti-
- tutions through high-speed data communications techniques.
-
- CERFnet was launched in the spring of 1989 with a $2.8 mil-
- lion grant from the National Science Foundation. CERFnet
- links fifty of the leading research and education centers in
- California at data transfer rates of up to 1.544 megabits
- per second (T1). The CERFnet backbone nodes are located at
- UCLA, UC Irvine, SDSC, Caltech, and the UC Office of the
- President in Oakland, California. CERFnet membership is
- open to all organizations in California, including any
- university, college, industrial or government facility, hos-
- pital, or library.
-
- CERFnet offers several different connection options. A CERF
- 1544 (1.544 Mbps), CERF 56 (56 kbps) or CERF 9.6 (9.6 kbps)
- entitles the subscriber to a dedicated leased circuit.
- CERFnet offers DIAL N' CERF, a dial-up SLIP service to the
- network. DIAL N' CERF subscribers connect to the network by
- dialing-up the nearest backbone node and logging on to a
- CERFnet terminal server.

-
-
- _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n
-
- The Merit staff operates a gateway between the Internet and
- SprintMail, which allows messages to be exchanged between
- SprintMail customers and Internet users. The gateway is
- connected to Sprintnet and to the Internet through Merit's
- connections to the NSFNET.
-
- SprintMail, operated by Sprint International, is a commer-
- cial X.400 electronic mail network providing services to US
- customers and access to other networks domestically and
- internationally. Formerly known as Telemail, SprintMail
- uses the Sprintnet (formerly Telenet) public data network
- for its e-mail connections.
-
- Merit provides hardware and software maintenance and
- administration and network operations (via the Merit Network
- Operations Center) for the Internet gateway; Sprint provides
- Sprintnet connectivity and user consulting and registration,
- as well as gateways to other X.400 networks.
-
- The gateway is a Sun SPARCstation-I running Sun OS 4.0.3 and
- Sunlink MHS. An X.25 link to Sprintnet is connected to the
- Sun's serial port at 9600 bps. Protocols used are X.400
- Message Handling System, X.225 session layer, X.224 tran-
- sport class 0, and X.25. On the Internet side, the Simple
- Mail Transfer Protocol (RFC-822), Transfer Control Protocol,
- Internet Protocol, and Ethernet protocols are used.

-
-
- The gateway supports a directory function that allows
- SprintMail customers to be registered with a mnemonic name
- which can be used by Internet users when sending mail.
- SprintMail users who wish to register can contact Sprint
- Customer Service.
-
- Merit provides domain name service for the SPRINT.COM domain
- as well as for some other domains on behalf of some
- SprintMail customers. For example, the COMPMAIL.COM domain
- is owned by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic
- Engineering) Computer Society but is operated by Merit as
- part of the gateway function.
-
- _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
-
- From the Internet to SprintMail
- To use the gateway, an Internet user can specify a
- registered SprintMail alias name, in the form:
-
- John.Doe@Sprint.COM
-
- Alternatively, the full X.400 Originator/Recipient (OR) name
- can be specified, (all on one line), for example:
-
- /pn=John.Doe/admd=Telemail/o=Sprintintl/c=us/@Sprint.COM
-
- The Internet host name after the at-sign, @, can be
- SPRINT.COM or another domain supported by the Merit gateway.
- X.400 OR names consist of a list of parameters and their
- values. X.400 parameters in OR names that can be used by
- the SprintMail gateway include:
-
-
- ADMD Administrative Management Domain
- PRMD Private Management Domain
- PN Personal Name
- G Given Name
- S Surname
- DD.UN User Name (DD is "Domain Defined")
- O Organization
- C Country (two-letter abbreviations must be used, for
- example, US, GB, JP)
-
-
- From SprintMail to the Internet
- When sending mail from the SprintMail X.400 environment to
- the Internet, the native syntax of the sender's system
- should be used. Use an _A_D_M_D of TELEMAIL, _P_R_M_D of INTERNET
- and _C_o_u_n_t_r_y of US, along with the "RFC-822" _d_o_m_a_i_n _d_e_f_i_n_e_d
-
-

- Sept. 22, 1990 NNSC Section 5.35, Page 2
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- attribute to specify the user's Internet mail address. For
- example, to send mail from the SprintMail system to an
- Internet user whose address is jdoe@engin.college.edu, type
- (all on one line):
-
- (Site:Internet,ID:<jdoe(a)engin.college.edu>)
-
- The angle brackets "< >" are required. The "(a)" replaces
- the at-sign, @, because that and most other special charac-
- ters are illegal as specified in RFC 987, which makes it
- necessary to substitute "(u)" for underscore, _, "(b)" for
- bang (exclamation point), !, "(q)" for a quotation mark, ",
- and "(p)" for percent, %.
-
- Resolving Problems
-
- If a message sent across the gateway cannot be delivered,
- the gateway will send a return message to notify the sender
- of nondelivery. That notification message will explain the
- problem with the mail address. If you have further ques-
- tions, call or send e-mail to Sprint Customer Service.

- SDSCnet is a network that links academic, industrial, and
- government affiliates with the San Diego Supercomputer
- Center (SDSC) and, by extension, with NSFNET.
-
- Participating organizations may use the network to login
- remotely to SDSC's supercomputer, parallel machines, and
- visualization resources; transfer files; send and receive
- electronic mail; and connect to other resources on NSFNET.
- Some organizations also receive software support. If an
- organization's network device(s) support(s) SNMP, the link
- is monitored for outages 24 hours/day seven days/week.
-
- _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
-
- Connections to SDSCnet are dedicated links primarily at 56

- acts as a conduit to the resources of the Internet and makes
- possible interchange of information using electronic mail
- and network news.
-
- WiscNet is governed by a board of directors consisting of
- one member from each charter member institution plus the NSF
- proposal investigators. The board is reponsible for setting
- broad operating policy, establishing direction, establishing
- membership categories, and assessing membership fees. A
- Network Planning Committee works with the operating agent on
- network design issues.

- The Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet) is a
- national network that interconnects the major academic and
- research facilities within Australia. The network connects
- all Australian universities, the Commonwealth Scientific and
- Industrial and Research Organisation (CSIRO), and many other
- government, commercial, and industrial research facilities
- in Australia.
-
- Internally the network uses a mix of 2-mbit and 48-kbit
- leased lines and multi-protocol routers to provide the con-
- nection infrastructure.
-
- The network supports national TCP/IP and DECnet Phase IV
- services. The TCP/IP network is interconnected to the Inter-
- net via a PACCOM link to FIX-West at Mountain View, Califor-
- nia. At time of writing this international link uses a
- 256-kbit satellite circuit.

- UNINETT is the Norwegian academic data network. Its purpose
- is to support research and education and collaborative work
- in and among academic and non-profit research organizations
- in Norway by providing access to computer networks and net-
- work resources. UNINETT is both a network, an organization,
- and an infrastructure based on a set of datacommunication
- protocols. As the Norwegian branch of the Internet,
- EARN/BITNET, the European academic DECnet, and OSInet/IXI,
- UNINETT offers a variety of services connecting the
- Norwegian academic society to the rest of the academic
- world.
-
- Electronic mail, file transfer, terminal access, directory
- services, and USENET Network News are among the services
- available on the UNINETT network.
-
- By July 1991, about eighty academic and research organiza-
- tions are connected to the UNINETT backbone, giving national
- and international connection to some eight thousand IP
- hosts, a few hundred DECnet hosts and X.400 MTAs, and a
- handful of EARN/BITNET nodes. The number of users is stipu-
- lated to be about fifteen thousand.
-
- UNINETT is a member of NORDUnet, which is a cooperative
- effort of the academic networks in all of the Nordic coun-
- tries and is connected internationally through the NORDUnet

- ARNET, a TCP/IP network connected to the Internet, is the
- major science and research network of Argentina. It con-
- nects approximately three hundred sites, mainly universities
- and research organizations. ARNET provides electronic mail,
- USENET News, file server, and electronic mailing list ser-
- vices.
-
- Like other cooperative networks, ARNET has no central plan-

- and the top-level AR domain are managed by the UNDP (United
- Nations Development Programme), Project ARG-86-026, at the
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MREC), together with the Secre-
- tariat of Science and Technology (SECYT). For the time
- being, the top-level subdomains are administered by the
- UNDP/MREC project.
-
- ARNET is a store-and-forward message network based on the
- Unix communications facilities. The international elec-
- tronic mail gateway and USENET news backbone, atina.ar, is a
- '386 machine running Unix System V connected to the MREC
- Local Area Network. The network is connected to the Inter-
- net through a satellite link to SURANet at the University of

- Most ARNET connections are over the public telephone network
- or the public packet-switching network, ARPAC, using the
- UUCP protocol in different environments. USENET news and
- most electronic mail traffic is brought to ARNET from
- uunet.uu.net via Internet.
-
- Several major nodes, such as secyt.gov.ar (Secretaria de
- Ciencia y Tecnologia), dcfcen.edu.ar (Departamento de Compu-
- tacion, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universi-
- dad de Buenos Aires), and opsarg.org.ar (Organizacion Panam-
- ericana de la Salud), call atina.ar over telephone lines,
- PSN ARPAC, or leased lines to distribute mail and news
- traffic to other nodes. Many nodes use various implementa-
- tions of UUCP for MS-DOS with limited functionality.
-
- Future plans
-
- There is a cooperation agreement between the UNDP/MREC pro-
- ject and the SECYT to distribute Internet services. The
- first stage will be the installation of a couple of Unix
- boxes at major regional sites, interconnected through the
- PSN ARPAC and national satellite links using UUCP. The
- second stage will be the migration from UUCP to TCP/IP.
- There are under study different ways to distribute Internet
- services throughout the country, and to upgrade the interna-
- tional link to the Internet.
-
-
- _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
-
- ARNET's IP number is 140.191. Several bits of the address
- are reserved for subnetting. The subnet mask is
- 255.255.254.0.
-
- The current MX-host for the AR domain is uunet.uu.net.
- Domain Name Service for AR domain is served by NS.UU.NET and
- UUCP-GW-1.PA.DEC.COM. Most systems on ARNET use the Inter-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- university/institutions may apply for membership and be con-
- nected to TANet after obtaining their membership applica-
- tion.
-
- Protocols
-
- The network protocols will initially focus on TCP/IP on the
- TANet backbone. Regional networks may support multiple pro-
- tocols and additional facilities (including X.25 transport
- or dial-up services) on a local basis in accordance with
- regional requirements. Support for OSI (CLNS) routing will
- be introduced in the near future. Existing Taiwan BITNET
- and ifNET (information NETwork) applications (including
- electronic mail delivery, NetNEWS, and file transfer) will
- be supported over TANet via IP connections.
-
- Network Topology
-
- The network implementation uses a ring/mesh topology. It
- interconnects by intelligent routers and high-speed leased
- circuits/LANs together.
-
- High-speed T1 (1.544 Mbps) circuits were installed between
- NSYSU and NTU, MOECC, NCU, NCTU, NTHU, and NCKU. NTU, NTHU,
- NCHU, and NCKU are now 9.6 kbps for backup purposes (they
- will be changed to at least 64 kbps in 1992). Dynamic ISDN
- links are also intended to provide backup services in the
- event of failure of a primary link. The bandwidth of each
- local link will depend on its local requirements; global
- considerations will dictate further moves toward higher
- bandwidths on the backbone links.
-
- A 64-kbps link will be installed from the Ministry of Educa-
- tion Computer Center to Princeton University in October
- 1991. This link will couple TANet to both JvNCnet and
- NSFNET.

- OARnet is the regional network for the state of Ohio. It
- serves the higher education community, providing Ohio scho-
- lars access to colleagues worldwide. OARnet also provides
- commercial connectivity to industrial and commercial members
- with unrestricted traffic flow between other OARnet members
- and the Internet. Libraries, databases, national and inter-
- national laboratories, and research centers are accessible,
- helping make Ohio schools competitive.
-
- The Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) was established
- in 1987 to provide statewide access to the Cray supercom-
- puter at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Since then it has
- evolved into a network supporting all aspects of higher edu-
- cation in Ohio. A primary goal of OARnet is to facilitate
- collaborative projects and sharing of resources between
- institutions, including those outside the state. OARnet
- connections are available to Ohio academic institutions and
- corporations engaged in reseach, product development, or
- instruction. Colleges, universities, and industries
- currently use OARnet connections to communicate within the
- state and with colleagues around the country.

- As part of a network mapping project, we have implemented a
- TCP-based geographic name server. In response to queries
- consisting of a city name and/or ZIP code and an optional
- state and/or country abbreviation, the server retrieves a
- variety of data from a database containing information on
- all US cities (~150,000). Queries containing UNIX ed(1)-
- style regular expressions are also supported.
-
- The geographic names database contains state, county, lati-
- tude and longitude for all US cities. It also contains 1980
- census population, elevation, area code, and ZIP code for a
- large subset of the cities, as well as a small number of
- international cities. The database contains information
- about other geographic features such as counties, states,
- rivers, lakes, summits, etc. in addition to populated
- places.
-
- The raw data were obtained from the United States Geodetic
- Survey (USGS) and the US Postal Service. USGS is developing
- a Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) as the main
- repository for its ongoing National Gazetteer project.

- The NEST simulation package developed at Columbia provides
- a generic framework for simulating networks and prototyping
- distributed systems. The NEST simulation runs in a sin-
- gle UNIX process, and the NEST monitor runs in a
- separate process, which may be remote. Simulations are
- created using the NEST library, a C-language library which
- runs under the all UNIX variants on VAX and 680x0 processors
- (SPARC and RT soon). The library provides a simple, high-
- level message-passing facility among a set of concurrent
- lightweight processes which simulate a distributed system.
- Simulations can be interactively monitored and managed using
- the standard Nest monitor program, which permits dynamic
- reconfiguration of the simulation. It is possible to
- create/halt/continue/destroy simulated nodes and links, and
- to alter their function and parameters, while a simulation
- is in progress. Multiple monitors at different sites can
- monitor a single simulation. The monitor is a monochrome
- SUNView application (an X Windows implementation is under
- development).

- The 326-page _V_A_X _B_o_o_k attempts to answer most of the ques-
- tions that University of Oregon users have had about using
- VMS, EDT, the networks, statistics and graphics packages,
- etc. Most of the concepts presented are illustrated by
- means of annotated examples. A detailed table of contents
- and index are included.
-
- The book is available in either Digital Standard Runoff out-
- put format suitable for printing on a line printer, or in
- PostScript form suitable for printing on an Apple Laser-
- Writer or other 300 DPI PostScript printer. I am also making
- the raw .RNO files (and the code used to convert the guide
- into TeX) available for those of you who are interested in
- customizing the _V_A_X _B_o_o_k for your own site.
