- NORDUnet is a international backbone that interconnects the
- Nordic countries Sweden (SUNET), Norway (UNINETT), Finland
- (FUNET), Denmark (DENET) and Iceland (SURIS). It also pro-
- vides internatinal connections to Major European and US net-
- works. NORDUnet started real operation in Autumn 1988.
-
- There are (at least) 4500 IP hosts and about 1000 DECnet
- hosts in the combined national networks that are intercon-
- nected by NORDUnet.
-
- The protocols supported as services across the backbone are
- IP, DECnet, EARN/NJE and X.25.
-
- NORDUnet connects through service agreements to
- Internet/NSFnet, EARN, HEPnet and EUnet. Pilot connections
- will be set up to COSINE/IXI X.25 and to EARN OSI.
-
- NORDUnet is a star with a center at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden.
- There are 64-kbit lines to RUNIT, Trondheim, Norway; UNI-C,
- Copenhagen, Denmark and HUT, Helsinki, Finland. There is
- also a 64 kbit line to CWI in Amsterdam, Holland and a 56
- kbit line to JvNC, Princeton, USA.
