- The ICBNet establishes Internet links between the ARPANET
- and cooperating groups of researchers within NATO sites,
- providing transit service and a testbed for joint NATO C3
- and interoperability experiments. These links have replaced
- the old SATNET (Atlantic Packet Satellite Network) service.
- Point-to-point trans-Atlantic service between the US and the
- UK and between the US and Italy connects the ARPANET with
- local networks at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment
- (RSRE) and the University College London (UCL), both in the
- UK, and at the Italian National Research Council (CNUCE) in
- Italy. The Norwegian Telecommunications Administration
- 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
- Cambridge, and the Butterfly Gateway at RSRE, and between
- the Butterfly Gateway at DARPA in Arlington, Va., and the
- Butterfly Gateway at CNUCE.
