- JvNCnet is a North East Research Regional Network with
- direct access to the NSFNET backbone. JvNCnet also has
- international connections to several Scandinavian countries
- (Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark) via the
- network's connection to NORDUnet, and to France and Switzer-
- land via the link to INRIA.
-
- The regional network, the first T-1 (1.544 Mbps) academic
- network, evolved from the thirteen members of the Consortium
- for Scientific Computing to a regional network, currently
- with thirty-one sites concentrated in the Northeast. When
- the John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center closed in
- April 1990, JvNCnet moved its headquarters to, and became
- part of, Princeton University.
-
- JvNCnet is engineered as a backbone network where backbone
- nodes are connected to each other with multiple T1 lines.
- These backbone nodes fan out to connect JvNCnet members at
- T1, fractional T1 (128 kbps), 56 kbps, 19.2 kbps, and 9.6
- kbps over dedicated and dial-up lines. Backbone nodes are
- located at phone company premises in the cities of Princeton
- (NJ), Trenton (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Boston (MA), Provi-
- dence (RI), New Haven (CT), New York (NY), and Newark (NJ).
- Member institutions connect to the closest backbone node,
