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.
