012.55 HUNGARY
by Laszlo Csaba <IB006CSA%HUEARN.BITNET@uga.cc.uga.edu>
By the end of 1991, the limitations on technology transfer and the concern
of politicians about the access of sensitive information by east Europeans
eased to a great extent. As a result, the Hungarian TCP/IP
networks are gradually gaining access to the world, and by this way becoming
Internet networks.
The application of Hungary for Internet domain name in 1990 and receiving
"HU" made for us possible to introduce domain style addressing and open
international e-mail service via a mailer gateway named ELLA.HU. The
messages at that time were sent to Internet via a geteway of EUnet.
Since then Hungarian networks have got then IP network addresses, (four
"B" and six "C" type) and now international IP traffic is passing through
three 9.6 kbps leased lines.
We hope that by the middle of this year two 64.kbps lines will be available
mainly for TCP/IP traffic supporting our access to various networks, like
EARN/BITNET, HEPnet, EUnet and Internet.
The representatives of HUGARNET - which is the association and the name
of the Hungarian Academic and Research Network - are taking part in the
work of RIPE, getting more and more knowledgable and taking leading
roles in European IP initiatives.
