- 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.
-
- SUNET has international connections to
-
- o+ EARN (via NORDUnet)
-
- o+ EUnet via NORDUnet
