- Los Nettos is a regional network in the Los Angeles area.
-
- Important features of Los Nettos are that it is (1) an IP
- network, and (2) it is ``high speed.'' All connections and
- links are at least T1 (1.5 Mbps) capacity. A goal of Los
- Nettos is to provide an environment to develop very interac-
- tive network applications.
-
- Los Nettos is operated by the member organizations, not by
- DARPA, or NASA, NSF, or DOE, etc. It may be used for any
- educational or research purpose.
-
- The member organizations are universities and research
- laboratories. The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of
- the University of Southern California (USC) acts as the
- agent for Los Nettos.
-
- Nine organizations are already participating in this network
- (ISI, USC, JPL, CalTech, UCLA, TIS, Rand, TRW, and NOSC). A
- number of other research centers have expressed strong
- interest in participating.
-
- Los Nettos will interoperate with CERFnet and other networks
- to provide access to special resources (for example, the San
