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
