The Korea Network Information Center (KRNIC) was set up and started its operation
from April 1993. Major tasks of KRNIC are registration and database services.
All IP network number requests from Korea has been done via KRNIC-InterNIC
transactions from April. KRNIC is also cooperating for the establishment of
APNIC (Asia-Pacific NIC) with other countries in this region.
The authority of KRNIC comes from ANC (Academic Network Council), the
coordinating committee for academic networks in Korea.
KRNIC information can be accessed via gopher and anonymous ftp to the
KRNIC server <nic.nm.kr>.
KRNIC staff can be reached by mailing to <info@nic.nm.kr>.
Korea has upgraded one of its international links to 256 Kbps (connecting HANA
network and FIX-W in the USA) in June. Korea has two more international links:
a 56kbps connection between KREONet and San Diego Super Computer Center, and
a 9.6 Kbps BITNET connection from Seoul National University.
A first joint networkshop in Korea (KRNET'93) was held on 7-8 July.
It was organized by ANC and the three IP networks in Korea.
KRNET program included tutorials, status reports, paper sessions, and
demonstrations. 981 individuals participated from universities, companies,
and research institutes. The workshop committee recognized an increasing
interest on the Internet than anticipated. Due to the limitation of workshop
place, the desk had to close preregistration a week before the workshop.
KRNET will be held annually in June or July.
