|
country. SDSC is located on the campus of the University of
|
|
California at San Diego and is administered by General Atom-
|
|
ics. Major policy guidance comes from a steering committee
|
|
representing the 25 SDSC consortium institutions, which
|
|
include major California universities and all campuses of
|
|
the University of California and the California State
|
|
University.

|
|
o+ A long-term file storage system (CFS) consisting of 60
|
|
Gbytes of disk storage and essentially infinite tape
|
|
cartridge storage.
|
|
|
|
These systems are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
|
|
except during scheduled maintenance and system development.
|
|
In 1988, these systems were available nearly 97% of the
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
Two printed manuals (An Introductory User Guide and Sum-
|
|
maries) are mailed to all new users. Two-day introductory
|
|
workshops are held approximately once per month on-site but
|
|
are also available at your location with confirmed atten-
|
|
dance of at least 20. Other sources of information include
|
|
SDSC's monthly newsletter, Gather/Scatter, an annual report
|
|
of science highlights, more than 130 online documents, and
|
|
40 electronic bulletin boards.

How to apply for time. 31,000 CPU hours each year are
|
|
available for academic and industrial use. Most of the time
|
|
is allocated at no charge to researchers on the basis of
|
|
peer review by the SDSC Allocation Committee or by the SDSC
|
|
consortium institutions. Allocations by the committee are
|
|
made independent of institutional affiliation or funding
|
|
source. The projects must be non-proprietary. Applications
|
|
are accepted four times per year (for 12-month allocations)
|
|
for time beginning 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October.
|
|
Applications must be received at least 45 days prior to the
|
|
quarter in which you request your allocation to begin (e.g.,
|
|
the deadline is 15 February for time beginning 1 April).
|
|
For more information, contact the SDSC consultants at
|
|
(619)534-5100 and request the Overview brochure (which con-
|
|
tains the application form).

A small fraction of time for allocation is available on a
|
|
non-peer-reviewed basis to industrial cost-sharing partici-
|
|
pants. Such projects may be proprietary but must be unclas-
|
|
sified. For more information, contact Bob Randall at

The Center for Experimental Research in Parallel Algorithms,
|
|
Software and Systems (CERPASS) provides an experimental
|
|
facility for researchers on the Internet.
|
|
|
|
The Center's parallel computing resource includes a Connec-
|
|
tion Machine CM-2 and a Symult Series 2010.
|
|
|
|
The Connection Machine Model CM-2 is a massively parallel
|
|
SIMD machine. Its hardware consists of 16,384 data proces-
|
|
sors interconnected via a hypercube network. Each processor
|
|
has a bit-serial ALU and a 64K-bit local memory. This CM-2
|
|
has two front-end subsystems -- one VAX 6210 and one Symbol-
|
|
ics 3600, a 5-Gigabyte mass storage system and a graphic
|
|
color display device. Half of the machine (i.e., 8,192 pro-
|
|
cessors) is also equipped with floating-point accelerator.
|
|
Programming languages available on this machine include
|
|
*Lisp, C* and Paris interfaces to Commonlisp and C.
|
|
|
|
The Symult S2010 is a message-passing, distributed memory
|
|
MIMD machine. Its hardware consists of 32 computational
|
|
nodes. Each node has a 32-bit Motorola 68020 microprocessor
|
|
as its CPU, augmented by the Motorola 68881 floating-point
|
|
coprocessors. Each node has 8MB local memory, and is con-
|
|
nected with other nodes via a high-speed message-routing

The CHPC provides access to a CRAY X-MP/24, currently run-
|
|
ning the COS 1.16 operating system. Pre- and post-job pro-
|
|
cessing, including access service for interactive jobs is
|
|
provided by a VAX 8600, currently running VMS 5.1. File
|
|
service is provided by an IBM 4381, currently running MVS/XA
|
|
2.2.0 and DFHSM.
|
|
|
|
In October of 1988, a second CRAY, the CRAY X-MP
|
|
EA/14se was installed with the UNICOS 4.0 operating system,
|
|
to provide users with a migration vehicle to UNIX. Simul-
|
|
taneously, a CONVEX C120 was installed to provide UNIX-based
|
|
access service to both the new CRAY X-MP EA/14se and the
|
|
earlier-installed CRAY X-MP/24. The IBM 4381 currently pro-
|
|
vides file service for the UNICOS CRAY that now runs the
|
|
UNICOS 5.0 operating system. VMS-based access service for
|
|
the UNICOS CRAY is provided by the VAX 8600.
|
|
|
|
The UT System Board of Regents has approved a major
|
|
expansion of the CHPC facility, possibly to begin in Sep-
|
|
tember of 1990.

The Cornell Theory Center-with support from the National
|
|
Science Foundation, IBM Corporation, the State of New York,
|
|
and members of its Corporate Research Institute-provides
|
|
supercomputing resources for researchers nationwide. The
|
|
Center's resources include two IBM ES/3090 600J supercomput-
|
|
ers, staff, and related programs that explore the use of
|
|
experimental parallel architectures.
|
|
|
|
Nearly four thousand researchers (including three Nobel
|
|
Prize winners, fourteen members of the National Academy of
|
|
Science, and ten members of the National Academy of
|
|
Engineering) have used the Center's facilities to work on
|
|
more than eight hundred research projects. This work, led
|
|
primarily by university faculty at more than one hundred
|
|
fifty institutions, represents a diversity of scientific
|
|
disciplines, from the physical to social sciences.
|
|
|
|
The Center's two IBM ES/3090 600Js each have six vector
|
|
facilities and a peak performance of 827.6 megaflops. Each
|
|
has 512 megabytes of memory and 2 gigabytes of expanded
|
|
storage. The total disk storage capacity is 266 gigabytes.
|
|
The principle operating system on the supercomputers is
|
|
IBM's implementation of UNIX, AIX. Each user application
|
|
may access up to 896 megabytes in AIX. There is software
|
|
support for vectorization, including a vectorizing compiler
|
|
and vector libraries. Both interactive and batch modes are
|
|
provided in the Center's production environments. Users
|
|
interested in using parallel computing for their production

|
|
Strategic User Program.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the production operating environments, full
|
|
support for communications across the Internet is provided
|
|
via TCP/IP. Interprocess communications, including remote
|
|
logins, FTP file transfer, and X Window System are sup-
|
|
ported. FORTRAN is the primary language; it is supported in
|
|
scalar, vector, and parallel modes, with interactive debug
|
|
and execution analysis. A high-performance C compiler is
|
|
also available. Scientific subroutine libraries are avail-
|
|
able, including vectorized versions. Online HELP facili-
|
|
ties, UNIX man pages, and a Cornell set of TUTOR examples
|
|
assist users. Graphics software supports both local
|
|
hardware and remote facilities. Several well-known applica-
|
|
tion packages and a list of software are available upon
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
At Cornell, interactive graphics devices include TCP/IP-
|
|
attached workstations. Hardcopy devices include videotape
|
|
production, 35mm slides, plotters, color PostScript
|
|
printers, and X Window System screen-dump printers. Remote
|
|
researchers can use X Window System screen utilities or Tek-
|
|
tronix emulation to view images. Remote users can also ftp
|
|
various types of image files and metafiles to themselves for
|
|
viewing with their own software. Graphics software sup-
|
|
ported on the supercomputers includes WaveFront and X Window
|
|
System in AIX. X Window System utilities include xim with
|
|
WaveFront and volume-renderer interfaces, gnuPLOT, and a
|
|
version of xmovie.

and associated regionals such as SURANet or Milnet (support-
|
|
ing remote login, file transfer, and electronic mail),
|
|
either directly or through a Sun front-end running Berkeley
|
|
UNIX. The Theory Center provides file transfer and batch
|
|
job submission through BITNET. Terminal traffic may access
|
|
Theory Center via direct dial-ups.

Chapter 2: Library Catalogs
|
|
|
|
|
|
A large number of libraries allow access to their library
|
|
catalogs via the Internet. Such catalogs can be very useful
|
|
for finding uncommon books not available at a local library.
|
|
Once a book is located, it can often be borrowed by your
|
|
local library through Interlibrary Loan. Another popular
|
|
use of library catalogs is to check citations or references.
|
|
Many catalogs also support more extended reference facili-
|
|
ties.
|
|
|
|
Please note that on-line catalogs often have a limited
|
|
number of ports. Users are asked not to abuse their access.
|
|
|
|
We would like to acknowledge the considerable assistance of
|
|
Ron Larsen, Art St. George, and Joe St. Sauver in compiling
|
|

The Boston University Online Catalog (TOMUS) provides access
|
|
to over 1.5 million volumes and 2.5 million microforms. The
|
|
collection represents a majority of holdings for all
|
|
libraries on campus.
|
|
|
|
TOMUS is made by Carlyle Systems Inc. located in Emeryville
|
|
California. The system implements a simple keyword search-
|
|
ing strategy to locate information in various indexes,
|
|
author, title, subject, and call number among them. Records
|
|
can be displayed using several display formats: brief, nor-
|
|
mal, and full.
|
|
|
|
The online help screens are a valuable tool for beginners
|
|
but become unnecessary after several uses.

to selected resources at no charge. This usually includes

|
the online catalog, but in some cases also includes access

to other online databases. Some directors of libraries are
|
|
sensitive to the added burden this may place on their
|
|
resources, so users are cautioned to use discretion.

The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public cata-
|
|
log of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
|
|
and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports a
|
|
separate online catalog for each campus.
|
|
|
|
The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million
|
|
titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries
|
|
on the campus and at the Center for Research Libraries in
|
|
Chicago. This represents roughly fifty percent of their
|
|
collections. The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approxi-
|
|
mately nine hundred thousand titles and represents eighty-
|
|
five percent of the general collection.

|
|

|
|

Note on keyboard mappings:
|
|
|
|
Because keyboard mappings are defined by the tn3270 software
|
|
on the client's host computer, we are not able to tell you
|
|
definitively how your keyboard will be mapped. The follow-
|
|
ing chart shows a selection of the tn3270 keyboard mapping
|
|
used on many UW Madison VAX computers. These definitions
|
|
are also used when accessing NLS via telnet as they are pro-
|
|
vided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.

Northwestern University's LUIS online catalog provides
|
|
author, title, and subject access to approximately 700,000
|
|
bibliographic records, including monographs processed by the
|
|
main library since 1970 and all serials, regardless of date.
|
|
Holdings of the Medical, Law, Dental, and Transportation
|
|
Libraries and the United Libraries of the Garrett Evangeli-
|
|
cal and Seabury Theological Seminaries are also included.
|
|
|
|
Remote users of Northwestern's LUIS catalog who are familiar
|
|
with other NOTIS-based online catalogs will note some
|
|
differences in our implementation. Of particular interest
|
|
may be NU's provision of cross-references in the online
|
|
catalog, a feature that is to appear in the commercial
|
|
release scheduled for the end of 1990. This LUIS version
|
|
does not provide keyword/Boolean searching, but does offer
|
|
what we call "search qualification," allowing a user to
|
|
limit an author, title, or subject search result by any of
|
|
several elements present in the precoordinated indexes:
|
|
date, format (e.g., serial, video), other word, or holding
|
|
library. Use of this feature is explained in a help screen
|
|
which may be accessed by typing an ampersand (&).

LUIS, the Library User Information Service, can be used to
|
|
find bibliographic information, locations, and call numbers
|
|
for materials held by the libraries of the University of
|
|
Illinois at Chicago (UIC). LUIS includes more than 675,000
|
|
titles. Older items in the UIC libraries may not be
|
|
included in LUIS.
|
|
|
|
LUIS contains records for all books cataloged since 1976 for
|
|
the Library of the Health Sciences (LHS), and since 1977 for
|
|
the other UIC libraries. Many older books in the east
|
|
campus libraries are also included: all English-language
|
|
books published since 1968, and virtually all books in the
|
|
Architecture, Art, Math, and Science Libraries are in LUIS.
|
|
|
|
LUIS also contains LHS audiovisuals cataloged since 1978 and
|
|
selected government documents at LHS. Records and holdings
|
|
for all periodicals currently received by LHS, and for most
|
|
periodicals currently received by the other libraries, are
|
|
in LUIS. Most titles not yet cataloged (including those on
|
|
order) are also included.

The MELVYL catalog is a computer-based library catalog of
|
|
more than 5.5 million unique book titles representing 11
|
|
million holdings of all libraries in the nine-campus UC sys-
|
|
tem and the California State Library. The catalog contains
|
|
records of book and periodical (serial) holdings, and other
|
|
materials such as maps, films, musical scores, and sound
|
|
recordings. Collections strengths include agriculture, dry
|
|
lands, oceanography, entomology, performing arts (especially
|
|
film and television), photography, Californiana, materials
|
|
on Mexico and Central America, 17th and 18th century British
|
|
literature, health sciences, science fiction, and many oth-
|
|
ers.
|
|
|
|
The periodical file, containing more than 640,000 unique
|
|
titles of newspapers, journals, proceedings, etc., includes
|
|
the holdings of Stanford University, the University of
|
|
Southern California, the nineteen-campus California State
|
|
University system, and selected other libraries.
|
|
|
|
The MELVYL catalog also includes two article abstracting and
|
|
indexing files-MEDLINE and Current Contents. Use of these
|
|
files, unlike the books and periodicals files, is restricted
|
|
to the UC community. The MELVYL MEDLINE database contains
|
|
the current five-year file of the National Library of
|
|
Medicine's MEDLINE database, which includes article

The Harvard OnLine Library Information System (HOLLIS) pro-
|
|
vides access to a number of databases including two library
|
|
catalogs. The union catalog of the Harvard University
|
|
libraries contains approximately two million records for
|
|
books, journals, manuscripts, scores, sound recordings,
|
|
visual materials, and computer files in the collections of
|
|
most of the Harvard libraries. (While this database
|
|
represents only a subset of the six million titles held at
|
|
Harvard, it does include most items cataloged since 1977.)
|
|
The catalog of older Widener Library materials contains more
|
|
than one million short records for books cataloged for the
|
|
main research library before 1977.

RLIN is the information management and retrieval system of
|
|
The Research Libraries Group, Inc. It includes an online
|
|
bibliographic database cataloging the holdings of well over
|
|
one hundred research libraries, archives, and special
|
|
collections-a total of over forty million records in August
|
|
1990. Entries are divided among eight files: books, seri-
|
|
als, archival materials (e.g., personal papers, governmental
|
|
records), maps, music scores, sound recordings, visual
|
|
materials (e.g., films and photographs), and computer files.
|
|
Smaller subject-oriented databases contain citations for
|
|
articles in art and architectural periodicals; eighteenth-
|
|
century English-language publications; art sales catalogs
|
|
dating from the 1500s to the present; and research in the
|
|
humanities scheduled for publication within the next two
|
|
years.
|
|
|
|
Users search RLIN with command-line searches rather than
|
|
from a menu, by specifying index terms. Indexes available
|
|
include title, subject, author, conference or corporation,
|
|
ISBN, LC number, and many more; some are specific to the
|
|
file being searched (such as the index to music publishers'
|
|
unique numbers on sound recordings and scores). Search
|
|
results can be further restricted by language, date of pub-
|
|
lication, publisher, terms found in notes fields, etc.

Chemistry Libraries), Health Sciences Center Library, Law
|
|
Library, Oxford College Library, and Theology Library.
|
|
|
|
The online catalog database currently contains more than
|
|
500,000 bibliographic records, representing approximately
|
|
40% of the total holdings. A retrospective conversion pro-

Chapter 3: Data Archives
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Internet is home to a wide variety of data archives. In
|
|
this section we try to list the more important and the more
|
|
uncommon archives. In particular, we do not list archives
|
|
of mailing lists, other than those that do software distri-
|
|
butions. Such archives can be located by asking the main-
|
|
tainers of the mail lists.

The Gene-Server is a mail response facility that will return
|
|
a specific GenBank (tm) entry requested via e-mail.
|
|
|
|
Other Services:
|
|
|
|
The server now distributes Protein Information Resource
|
|
(PIR, also known as NBRF) protein sequence database entries.
|
|
|
|
Molecular biology software for Apple Macintosh, DOS, Unix
|
|
and VAX-VMS computers is also available from the server.
|
|
|
|
A number of information files (the R. Roberts Restriction
|
|
Enzyme database; sequence analysis reference, and such) are
|
|
distributed.
|
|
|
|
The Matrix of Biological Knowledge Archive-Server files are
|
|
now available only from this address.
|
|
|
|
Electronic mail searching of the protein sequence database
|
|
is available; you simply send a properly formatted protein
|
|
"query" sequence to a specific address on the server and the
|
|
search will be performed automatically and the results
|
|
returned via electronic mail.

The server can be accessed via e-mail on the Internet, BIT-
|
|
NET, and UUCP networks. The addresses to use are:
|
|
|
|
gene-server@bchs.uh.edu (Internet)
|
|
bchs.uh.edu!genbank-server (Usenet)
|
|
gene-server%bchs.uh.edu@CUNYVM (BITNET)
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that a mail response program is not "smart"
|
|
and can only respond to a limited set of commands. GenBank
|
|
entries are available by name and accession number only.
|
|
|
|
Your request can consist of one of the following:
|
|
|
|
HELP
|
|
SEND HELP
|
|
SEND LOCUS genbank_locus_name
|
|
SEND INDEX index_name
|
|
SEND ACCESSION accession_number
|
|
|
|
"HELP" will result in a small help file being sent back;
|
|
everyone should request the help message. The file will
|
|
contain up-to-date information about the server, access,
|
|
release numbers, and policies. The help message also
|
|
includes all index names, so "SEND INDEX" no longer works.
|
|
"SEND INDEX index_name" (where "index_name" is one of the
|
|
index files listed in the HELP message) will work. "SEND
|
|
LOCUS genbank_locus_name" will return via e-mail the
|
|
requested locus if it exists, and an error message if it
|
|
does not. Use the index file in the HELP message to find
|
|
the name of the entry, or use the accession number.
|
|
|
|
The server runs every half hour and will handle only one
|
|
request at a time. If you want more than one entry, send
|
|
separate requests.
|
|
|
|
Note that large GenBank entries (Lambda, EBV, tobacco and
|
|
liverwort chloroplasts) may not make it through the thread
|
|
of mailers. UUCP mailers, in particular, silently enforce a
|
|
limit of 64,000 characters in a single mail message. Note
|
|
also that Usenet mail is very unreliable; you should con-
|
|
sult the "pathalias" database to construct a mail path from
|
|
your machine to bchs.uh.edu. A local Unix mail wizard may
|
|
be able to help.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: "gene-server@bchs.uh.edu" is an MX record.
|
|
If you have problems reaching that address, ask your local

The current version of GenBank on the server is Release 64.
|
|
The server is updated as often as possible given funding
|
|
(none) and disk space constraints. The server may be
|
|
updated daily in the future.
|
|
|
|
Information and software is exchanged regularly with the
|
|
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) File Server,
|
|
but the specific files, syntax, and information vary between
|
|
the two servers.
|
|
|
|
The server contains a simple response to someone asking for
|
|
too many loci or otherwise abusing the service: it stops
|
|
working for them.
|
|
|
|

SERVICE is an automatic mail program provided by the NIC.
|
|
It allows access to NIC online files and information via
|
|
ordinary electronic mail. This is especially useful for
|
|
people who do not have access to the NIC via a direct Inter-
|
|
net link. Users can request publicly accessible files and
|
|
searches in the WHOIS database via this server. Replies are
|
|
batched and sent back overnight.
|
|
|
|
SERVICE looks only at the subject line of a message. These
|
|
are the services currently available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
HELP A help message with a list of current services.
|
|
HOST xxx Returns information about host xxx. WHOIS xxx
|
|
can also be used to get more details about
|
|
a host.
|
|
IEN nnn nnn is the IEN number or the word INDEX.
|
|
NETINFO xxx xxx is a file name or the word INDEX.
|
|
RFC nnn nnn is the RFC number or the word INDEX.

NICOLAS is a menu-driven network user help system that func-
|
|
tions both as an information server and an inter-network
|
|
gateway. As an information server, NICOLAS provides syn-
|
|
taxes for inter-network mail addressing, general information
|
|
about wide-area networks, networking-related "how to" files,
|
|
information on current NASA flight projects, and a variety
|
|
of network- and computer-related information of specific
|
|
interest to the NASA community. As an automated inter-
|
|
network gateway, NICOLAS enables users to connect to DECnet
|
|
or TCP/IP nodes, login to their NASAMail and GSFCMail
|
|
accounts, connect directly to a number of other online ser-
|
|
vices not normally available to TCP/IP users, perform a
|
|
variety of "yellow pages" functions, and transfer files
|
|
between DECnet and TCP/IP systems and from either DECnet or
|
|
TCP/IP nodes to BITNET nodes.

The LiMB (LIsting of Molecular Biology databases) database
|
|
is a computer-based collection of information on molecular
|
|
biology and related databases. LiMB is intended to facili-
|
|
tate locating and accessing these databases as well as to
|
|
provide an ``overview'' that will help in developing a sys-
|
|
tematic, coordinated approach to designing, developing and
|
|
maintaining these databases.
|
|
|
|
Each entry in LiMB currently consists of 54 fields, includ-
|
|
ing: database staff names and addresses; database mainte-
|
|
nance hardware and software; scope of coverage and database
|
|
goals; details about submission and access to the data sets;
|
|
database size; and types of data covered by the database.
|
|
LiMB entries are based on questionnaires filled out by the
|
|
database managers or, in the absence of a completed ques-
|
|
tionnaire, on secondary sources (e.g., a journal article).
|
|
LiMB is currently maintained in a relational DBMS.
|
|
|
|
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _a_c_c_e_s_s

LiMB is not available through direct network access. It can

The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) is an ongoing
|
|
project to organize a broad range of published extragalactic
|
|
data into a computer-based central archive designed for fast
|
|
and flexible query via electronic networks.
|
|
|
|
The January 1991 version of NED provides positions, names,
|
|
and basic data for 132,000 extragalactic objects, as well as
|
|
related bibliographic references and notes from catalogs and
|
|
other publications. It forwards to the user, upon request,
|
|
files containing the data retrieved during a session. It
|
|
also allows users to browse abstracts of recent articles of
|
|
extragalactic interest from five major journals (_A & _A, _A_J
|
|
_A_p_J, _M_N_R_A_S, _P_A_S_P, their Letters and Supplements), and to
|
|
view the contents of several major catalogs. Future
|
|
releases will provide data from the current literature and
|
|
from catalogs, and tools for searching the abstract database
|
|
by content.
|
|
|
|
NED is an object-oriented database, meaning that all infor-
|
|
mation is organized around a master list of astronomical
|
|
objects (such as galaxies, groups of galaxies, quasars and
|
|
radio sources) obtained from detailed cross-identifications
|
|
among some thirty major catalogs. Additional catalogs are
|
|
being folded in continually. Objects can be selected by
|
|
name (a high-level name interpreter is built into the

Unidata is a national program to help universities acquire
|
|
weather data and to analyze and display those data for
|
|
teaching and research. The program is funded by the
|
|
National Science Foundation and managed by the University
|
|
Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Unidata negotiates a
|
|
group contract with a commercial data-broadcasting firm so
|
|
that universities may receive weather data at a discount.
|
|
Unidata also develops and distributes software for captur-
|
|
ing, analyzing, and displaying those data locally.
|
|
Unidata-developed software includes the Unidata Local Data
|
|
Manager (LDM), which captures real-time weather data from a
|
|
satellite broadcast, and netCDF, a network-transparent,
|
|
architecture-independent form for storing scientifc data.
|
|
Unidata also distributes applications software developed and
|
|
licensed by universities, such as Purdue University's
|
|
Weather Processor (WXP) and the University of Wisconsin's
|
|
McIDAS-OS/2.
|
|
|
|
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s:
|
|
|
|
Unidata is connected via a LAN to NCAR, an NSFNET backbone
|
|
site. UNIX users can access a compressed tar file
|
|
(netcdf.tar.Z in directory pub) via anonymous ftp from
|
|
unidata.ucar.edu. VMS users can get a backup saveset
|
|
(netcdf.bck in directory vms) via anonymous ftp.fP to
|
|
laurel.ucar.edu.

Archie is a central database for information about archive
|
|
sites. It speeds the task of finding a specific program on
|
|
the net. Archie keeps track of UNIX sites; VMS sites may be
|
|
added in the near future.
|
|
|
|
Archie is a pair of software tools: the first maintains a
|
|
list of several hundred Internet ftp archive sites, each of
|
|
which is updated about once a month. The second tool allows
|
|
outsiders to log onto the host to query the database.
|
|
Archie also maintains a Software Description Database of the
|
|
names and descriptions of various software packages, docu-
|
|
ments, and datasets that are kept on anonymous ftp archive
|
|
sites around the Internet. The whatis command allows you to
|
|
search this database.

To access archie, telnet or rlogin to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
|
|
(132.206.2.3) as user archie. The help command gives you
|
|
information about various topics, including the commands
|
|
available and how to use them. The "raw" listings of ftp
|
|
sites are stored in compressed form in the directory
|
|
ftp/archie/listings. Manual pages for archie are available
|
|
in the directory ftp/archie/doc. The file archie.man.roff
|
|
contains a UNIX-style manual entry in *roff format;
|
|
archie.man.txt contains the same information preformatted
|
|
for people on non-UNIX systems.
|
|
|
|
Users can ask archie to search for specific name strings.

Send comments, bug reports, etc. to: archie-l@cs.mcgill.ca.
|
|
If you know of an anonymous ftp site that archie doesn't
|
|
seem to maintain, or if you have additions or corrections to
|
|
the Software Description Database, send mail to: archie-
|
|
admin@cs.mcgill.ca.

|
"Satellite" archie servers are being set up in Finland and
|
|
the Netherlands in order to lessen the load on the tran-
|
|
satlantic Internet link.
|
|
|
|
The maintainers of archie strongly encourage maintainers of
|
|
anonymous ftp archives to do two things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
o+ Send additions and corrections to the Software Distri-
|
|
bution Database to archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o+ Maintain compressed, automated, recursive listings
|
|
(ls-1R.Z files) on their machines. This lessens net-
|
|
work loads and makes life easier for archie. Send
|
|
queries for specific formats to archie-
|
|
admin@cs.mcgill.ca.

|
|
& _A_n_a_n_l_y_s_i_s _o_n _M_e_x_i_c_o. Updated four days a week, the data-
|
|
base contains some of the most current economic news and
|
|
analysis available on the region. Much of the information
|
|
is assembled from unfiltered news sources originating from
|
|
Latin America, providing an ability for organizations to
|
|
understand and monitor the environments in which they have
|
|
business and research interests. Currently, the database
|
|
contains more than eleven thousand articles-from 1987 to
|
|
present-with approximately four hundred new ones added each
|
|
month.

There are four ways to access STIS. Choose the method that

meets your needs and the communication facilities you have
|
|
available.

|
|
_E_l_e_c_t_r_o_n_i_c _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_s _v_i_a _e_l_e_c_t_r_o_n_i_c _m_a_i_l. If you can send
|
|
electronic mail to Internet or BITNET addresses, you can
|
|
send a specially formatted message and the document you
|
|
request will be automatically returned to you via electronic
|
|
mail.
|
|
|
|
_A_n_o_n_y_m_o_u_s _F_T_P. Internet users who are familiar with this
|
|
file-transfer method can quickly and easily transfer STIS
|
|
documents to their local system for browsing and printing.
|
|
|
|
_O_n_l_i_n_e _S_T_I_S. If you have a VT100 emulator and an Internet
|
|
connection or a modem, you can log on to the online system.
|
|
The online system features full-text search-and-retrieval
|
|
software to help you locate documents and award abstracts
|
|
that are of interest to you. Once you locate a document,
|
|
you can browse through it online or download it using the
|
|
Kermit protocol, or request that it be mailed to you.
|
|
|
|
_D_i_r_e_c_t _e_l_e_c_t_r_o_n_i_c _m_a_i_l. You can request that STIS e-mail you
|
|
an electronic copy of every document that is added to the
|
|
system. This is particularly effective for periodic and
|
|
time-sensitive publications, such as the _B_u_l_l_e_t_i_n.
|

|
|
The STIS flyer provides additional information on accessing
|

The International Centre for Distance Learning (ICDL), based
|
|
at the British Open University, has an online database on
|
|
Distance Education. This database has been developed with
|
|
funding from the British Government's Overseas Development
|
|
Administration to provide an information service to the Com-
|
|
monwealth of Learning (based in Canada), an organisation
|
|
created by Commonwealth Heads of Government to expand oppor-
|
|
tunities for students in Commonwealth countries through dis-
|
|
tance education.
|
|
|
|
There are three sections in the database: Courses, Institu-
|
|
tions, and Literature.

The LIDO MAILSERVER for AI literature at the University of
|
|
Saarbruecken, Germany allows for the retrieval of biblio-
|
|
graphic information on AI-related publications via elec-
|
|
tronic mail. The references are returned in LaTeX (Bibtex)
|
|
format or in a refer-like format. As of 1991, more than
|
|
twenty thousand documents are contained in its database,
|
|
with an annual increase of twenty-five percent. About four
|
|
thousand bibliographic requests are currently handled each
|
|
year.
|
|
|
|
Queries to the bibliographic database may refer to the
|
|
author name(s), the title, and the year of publication.
|
|
Substring search and regular expressions (egrep) are possi-
|
|
ble. Global keywords or classification hierarchies cannot
|
|
be accessed. Users who already have a certain overview of a
|
|
field will thus probably profit more from the LIDO MAIL-
|
|
SERVER than novices familiarizing themselves with a new
|
|
area.
|
|
|
|
For more information on this service, send the following e-
|
|
mail message:
|
|
|
|
To: lido@cs.uni-sb.de
|
|
Subject: lidosearch info english

The body of the message should be empty.

The Medieval and Early Modern Data Bank is a resource pro-
|
|
ject established at Rutgers University and co-sponsored by
|
|
The Resource Libraries Group, Inc. Its aim is to provide
|
|
scholars with a continually expanding reference library of
|
|
information concerning the medieval and early modern
|
|
periods, circa A.D. 800-1800. Because MEMDB is a computer-
|
|
based, electronic reference tool, it offers remarkable
|
|
facilities for immediate information retrieval and manipula-
|
|
tion.
|
|
|
|
In 1989-90 MEMDB will become an on-line system, available to
|
|
subscribers through RLG's Research Libraries Information
|
|
Network (RLIN). When MEMDB becomes RLIN-based its master
|
|
data set will be vastly expanded. MEMDB's scope will extend
|
|
to virtually any scholarly compilation of data that can be
|
|
presented in a tabular form. New material to be incor-
|
|
porated will include information on such subjects as wages
|
|
and prices, household size, mortality, property-holdings,
|
|
charity, and nutrition, drawn from such sources as:
|
|
|
|
o+ taxation records
|
|
|
|
o+ wills and inventories
|
|
|
|
o+ parish records and vital statistics

|
|
mand, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
|
|
|
|
It supports three disk structures, named PD1:, PD2, and
|
|

The SDDAS maintains a large optical disk database of data
|
|
returned by the Dynamics Explorer satellites 1 & 2. It pro-
|
|
vides interactive tools for displaying this data in various
|
|
ways and selected subsets may be acquired via anonymous FTP.
|
|
This data is primarily used by those doing research in space
|
|
physics, magnetospheric physics, and the dynamics of the
|
|
upper atmosphere. The measurements are classified as fol-
|
|
lows: DC magnetic field; AC electric field; particles; elec-
|
|

The IBM Supercomputing Program Data Base is a listing of
|
|
information concerning programs that have been written or
|
|
converted to use IBM 3090 vector or parallel processing.
|
|
The data base is maintained by the Computer Center at the
|
|
University of Illinois at Chicago with support from IBM.
|
|
Data provided for each program include the program's appli-
|
|
cation area, name, a description, the environment under
|
|
which it operates, the person to contact for more informa-
|
|
tion and the approximate cost for academic user. The pro-
|
|
grams themselves are not available through the data base.
|
|
The data base is referred to as ``supersft'' for ``supercom-
|
|
puting software.''
|
|
|
|
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _a_c_c_e_s_s
|
|
|
|
This data base is accessible to other universities through
|
|
BITNET and the Internet. A LISTSERV virtual machine named
|
|
SUPERSFT has been established at UIC for easy retrieval of
|
|
the information.

Access to the database is open to anyone with a BITNET or
|
|
Internet connection. Access to the programs described in
|
|
the database is controlled by their owners.

Three files available through this LISTSERV provide informa-
|
|
tion about the data base, an index to the data base, and a
|
|
form for submission of information. To receive these files,
|
|
issue the following commands from a VM system on BITNET:
|
|
|
|
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft help [for the help file]
|
|
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft index [for the index]
|
|
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft form [for the submission form]
|
|
|
|
If you do not use a VM system, send a standard note
|
|
addressed to ``listserv at uicvm'' if you're on BITNET or
|
|
``listserv@uicvm.cc.uic.edu'' if you're on the Internet.
|
|
The note should contain just the appropriate LISTSERV com-
|
|
mands, such as
|
|
|
|
get [filename1 filetype1]
|
|
get [filename2 filetype2]
|
|
|
|
substituting the names of the files of interest.
|
|
|
|
Submissions to the data base can be made either electroni-
|
|
cally or by mail. The information submission form is in the
|
|
file named SUPERSFT FORM mentioned above.

Chapter 4: White Pages

|
|
|
The Internet supports several databases that contain basic
|
|
information about users, such as e-mail addresses, telephone
|
|
numbers, and postal addresses. These databases can be
|
|
searched to get information about particular individuals.
|
|
Because they serve a function akin to the telephone book,
|
|
these databases are often referred to as "white pages."

The Knowbot Information Service is a white pages ``meta-
|
|
service'' that provides a uniform interface to heterogeneous
|
|
white pages services in the Internet. Using the Knowbot
|
|
Information Service, one can form a single query that can
|
|
search for white pages information from the NIC WHOIS ser-
|
|
vice, the CSNET WHOIS service, the NYSERNet White Pages
|
|
Pilot Project, and MCI Mail, among others, and have the
|
|
responses displayed in a single, uniform format.
|
|
|
|
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to gain access to the Knowbot Informa-
|
|
tion Service:
|
|
|
|
1. Obtain the Knowbot User Service user interface program,
|
|
netaddress, for local installation
|
|
|
|
2. Telnet to the Knowbot Information Service. Currently,
|
|
there are servers accessible through a telnet to port 185 on
|
|
hosts <nri.reston.va.us> and <sol.bucknell.edu>. From a
|
|
UNIX host, use <telnet nri.reston.va.us 185>. The commands
|
|
help and man summarize the command interface.
|
|
|
|
3. Send mail to userid <kis> at one of the Knowbot Informa-
|
|
tion Service hosts.

Sesquinet is a regional network in Texas. It was organized
|
|
in 1986 specifically to fill the regional network role
|
|
within the NSFnet scheme. It has been operational since May
|
|
1987.
|
|
|
|
Sesquinet is primarily an IP network, and connects directly
|
|
to the NSFnet backbone via an NSS at Rice University.
|
|
|
|
In cooperation with THEnet we also carry intra-state DECnet
|
|
Phase IV that can be passed to SPAN/HEPnet.
|
|
|
|
Our original and slowest lines are 56kb/s, and these remain
|
|
the normative circuit technology for access from individual
|
|
sites. We are deploying T1 circuits in two ways:
|
|
|
|
o+ In cooperation with THEnet, we are building an inter-
|
|
city redundant high-speed backbone. Initially, this
|
|
will be a T1 triangle connecting Houston (Rice Univer-
|
|
sity), Austin (the University of Texas at Austin), and
|
|
Dallas (the University of Texas at Dallas).
|
|
|
|
o+ In addition, some individual sites are connected to
|
|
this intercity backbone via T1 circuits. The Baylor
|
|
College of Medicine is the first to do so.

USAN (University Satellite Network) is a discipline oriented
|
|
network serving organizations that do research in the atmos-
|
|
pheric and oceanographic sciences. Current members are the
|
|
Universities of Miami, Oregon State, Penn State, Maryland,
|
|
Wisconsin, and the Institute of Naval Oceanography, the
|
|
Naval Research Lab, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
|
|
|
|
The primary use of the network is for access to supercom-
|
|
puter facilities at NCAR. Secondary use is for access to the
|
|
Internet via the NSFnet node and other Internet gateways at
|
|
NCAR.
|
|
|
|
The network is an IP satellite broadcast network with a star
|
|
configuration with the center at NCAR. Incoming traffic is
|
|
broadcast at 56Kbits from each node on its own unique chan-
|
|
nel. Outbound traffic is broadcast at 224Kbits on a single
|
|
channel.
|
|
|
|
Membership in USAN is not restricted, however members must
|
|
share in the operating costs for the network.
|
|
|
|
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _a_c_c_e_s_s

Westnet is a regional network with nodes in the states of
|
|
Arizona, Colorado, southern Idaho, New Mexico, Utah and
|
|
Wyoming.
|
|
|
|
Westnet is a Wide Area Network operating at moderate (56
|
|
kbps) and high (T-1, i.e., 1.544 Mbps) data transmission
|
|
capacities, providing connectivity from end nodes to the
|
|
NSFNet backbone. Westnet has connections into the backbone
|
|
at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in
|
|
Boulder, Colorado, and at the University of Utah in Salt
|
|
Lake City, Utah. The goal of Westnet is to provide the
|
|
regional infrastructure to support research and scholarly
|
|
activity.
|
|
|
|
The member organizations are universities, research labora-
|
|
tories, and commercial organizations. Westnet is governed

|
the seventeen primary university nodes in the six-state
|
|
region.
|
|
|
|
A variety of organizations already participating in this
|
|

|
|
tory, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National Sun-
|
|
spot Observatory, Rockwell International, and the Santa Fe
|
|
Institute; and in Utah: the UMC Research Station.
|
|
|
|
Westnet interoperates with the state networking agencies of:
|
|
AriZona Telecommunications Educational Cooperative (AZTEC),
|
|
Colorado SuperNet (CSN), and New Mexico Technet (NMT).
|
|
State networking organizations are presently being con-
|
|
sidered in Idaho and Utah. Westnet interacts with these
|
|
state networks to provide access to special resources (for
|
|
example, the NSF Phase II Supercomputer Centers) and to
|
|
other regional networks (for example, Northwestnet in the
|
|
northwestern region of the United States).

The NASA Science Network (NSN) is an IP network which sup-
|
|
ports scientists and flight projects funded by NASA's Office
|
|
of Space Science and Applications (OSSA). The network is
|
|
used to provide remote access to such resources as scien-
|
|
tific databases and supercomputing centers. The NSN main-
|
|
tains hubs at several NASA centers which are interconnected
|
|
in a partial mesh topology. These backbone sites use terres-
|
|
trial circuits ranging in speed from 168 to 672 Kbps. From
|
|
these hubs radiate numerous tail circuits; the majority of
|
|
these tails are 56 Kbps, with a few at 9.6 Kbps as well.
|
|
|
|
The NSN was designed to provide NASA's scientific communi-
|
|
ties with a more general networking approach that would pro-
|
|
vide full networking services in a vendor-independent
|
|
environment. These services include file transfer and remote
|
|
logon as well as email.
|
|
|
|
NSN is a NASA-wide network managed by the NASA Science
|
|
Internet Project Office (NSIPO) at Ames Research Center. It
|
|
is used for NASA-funded space science research programs and
|
|
flight projects.
|
|
|
|
Users include NASA sites, and government facilities,
|
|
research, and academic sites conducting NASA-funded
|
|
research.

PREPnet is a mid-level network serving Pennsylvania since
|
|
May 1988 for purposes of education, research, technology
|
|
transfer, and economic development within the state. PREP-
|
|
net was initiated through the joint efforts of the govern-
|
|
ment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bell Telephone of
|
|
Pennsylvania, and the PREPnet consortium of universities
|
|
(Carnegie Mellon, Drexel University, Lehigh University,
|
|
Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, University
|
|
of Pennsylvania, and University of Pittsburgh). The Com-
|
|
monwealth of Pennsylvania is the inter-LATA carrier and Bell
|
|
Telephone of Pennsylvania is the network operator, the owner
|
|
of the equipment, and the marketing agent for network
|
|
access. Supercomputing resources and a gateway to the
|
|
Internet (NSFNET) are provided by the Pittsburgh Supercom-
|
|
puting Center. Other member institutions have made a
|
|
variety of information resources available on PREPnet, such
|
|
as university library catalogs, bulletin boards, and various
|
|
other databases containing statistical, agricultural, demo-
|
|
graphic, economic, and medical data. The network architec-
|
|
ture consists of a T1 backbone connecting hubs in Pitts-
|
|
burgh, Philadelphia, and Allentown/Bethlehem, and a 56-Kbps
|
|
connection to a hub in Scranton. PREPnet uses the Transmis-
|
|
sion Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

PREPnet is available to serve Pennsylvania clients who have
|
|
a valid reason to use the Internet. Organizations operating
|
|
within Pennsylvania involved in education, research, tech-
|
|
nology transfer, or the economic development of Pennsylvania
|
|
are eligible to participate. Non-profit institutions may
|
|
become members, and others may affiliate. Usage consistent
|
|
with the above purposes is considered acceptable. Examples
|
|
of unacceptable usage would include commercial order-entry
|
|
or invoicing, or advertising of commercial products. PREP-
|
|
net does not presently carry transit traffic whose source
|
|
and destination are both outside the state.

SURAnet, the Southeastern Universities Research Association
|
|
Network, is a project of SURA, the Southeastern Universities
|
|
Research Assocation. SURA is a consortium of universities
|
|
which supports, manages, and operates projects too large or
|
|
complex to be handled by a single university.
|
|
|
|
SURAnet, a TCP/IP network, is one of the NSFNET mid-level
|
|
networks. 8 data lines operate at T-1 speed (1.5 Mbps) and
|
|
the reminder at 56 kbps. A redundant T-1 backbone is planned
|
|
for the near future.
|
|
|
|
SURAnet is connected to the NSFNET backbone at the Univer-
|
|
sity of Maryland.
|
|
|
|
SURAnet's geographic area includes the District of Columbia
|
|
and 13 states in the southeast US: Alabama, Delaware,
|
|
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
|
|
sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
|
|
and West Virginia.
|
|
|
|
While SURA, the parent organization, is a consortium of
|
|
academic organizations, SURAnet members comprise approxi-
|
|
mately two-thirds academic institutions and one-third non-
|
|
academic sites.

|
vide electronic mail connectivity among its subscribing
|
|
sites. UUNET provides fast, reliable, mail service both
|
|
domestically and internationally. UUNET charges connect fees
|
|
on a cost recovery basis.
|
|
|
|
UUNET acts as an internet mail relay for its 1,000 subscrib-

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,
|
|

CSNET and BITNET merged in the autumn of 1989 to form the
|
|
Corporation for Research and Educational Networking (CREN).
|
|
CSNET continues to supply international data communication
|
|
through TCP/IP and allied email-only services. Members of
|
|
CREN/CSNET include universities, colleges, government agen-
|
|
cies, nonprofit organizations, and industrial research
|
|
laboratories in the U.S. and abroad.
|
|
|
|
CSNET offers several connection options to serve the needs
|
|
of large and small organizations. The options include
|
|
dial-up delivery of electronic mail, dial-up IP-based
|
|
interactive service, and IP-based interactive service using
|
|
leased telephone and X.25 circuits.
|
|
|
|
CSNET also provides technical information to network users
|
|
and support services to member organizations. It operates a
|
|
24-hour telephone hotline and a "help" mailbox, publishes
|
|
CSNET-FORUM (an online newsletter), and distributes documen-
|
|
tation on network use and services by email through an
|
|
automated document server and other automated servers. Net-
|
|
work users may access the same information by anonymous FTP.
|
|
|
|
Network users may register themselves in the CSNET User Name
|
|
Server, an automated directory database of users and hosts
|
|
maintained at the CSNET Coordination and Information Center

The Commercial Mail Relay service currently provides mail
|
|
relay functions between the Internet and three commercial
|
|
electronic mail systems: Telemail, MCI-Mail, and DIALCOM
|
|
systems (IEEE-Compmail, NSFMAIL, and USDA-MAIL).
|
|
|
|
To send mail via the Commercial Mail Relay users on each
|
|
system use their normal mail programs to prepare, send, and
|
|
receive messages. Messages to be forwarded are sent to the
|
|
CMR mailbox called ``Intermail'' on the local mail system.
|
|
The CMR operates by having a program service mailboxes in
|
|
both the local and the destination mail systems. When the
|
|
right information is supplied either in the ARPA-Mail header
|
|
``TO'' field, at the beginning of the text of a message, the
|
|
program forwards those messages into the other mail system.
|
|
|
|
The Simple Forwarding Header (SFH) method of addressing mail
|
|
for each system follows. First send a message to
|
|
``Intermail@ISI.EDU'', and use one of the SFHs in the body
|
|
of the text.

CMR is a UNIX based system, using the MMDF mail software.
|
|
Any IP/TCP organization may access CMR. See restrictions

The requirement for using CMR is that the work conducted
|
|
must be DARPA sponsored research or other US government
|
|
approved business (or otherwise meet the acceptable use pol-
|
|
icy of DARPA,) only.
|
|
|
|
However, DARPA as a member of the Federal Research Internet
|
|
Coordinating Committee (FRICC) has agreed to the (draft)
|
|
policy for communication networks that provides (in part)
|
|
that: ``the member agencies of the FRICC agree to carry all
|
|
traffic that meets the acceptable use policy of the ori-
|
|
ginating member agency.''
|
|
|
|
Thus, e-mail messages (i.e., ``traffic'') that meet the
|
|
acceptable use policy of an agency and pass through some
|
|
facility of that agency (i.e., ``the originating member'')
|
|
on the way to Intermail or CMR are allowed. The current
|
|
member agencies of the FRICC are DARPA, NSF, DOE, NASA, AND
|
|
NIH.
|
|
|
|
In the least restrictive case, all bona fide researchers and

_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n
|
|
|
|
The Terrestrial Wideband Network was built and deployed by
|
|
BBN STC as a part of the initial phase of the Defense
|
|
Research Internet (DRI). In May 1989, this network replaced
|
|
the Satellite Wideband Network, which had been in operation
|
|
for the previous 8 years. The Satellite Wideband was a
|
|
domestic 3 Mbit/sec network that had been used for research
|
|
into the use of packet satellite technology to efficiently
|
|
support applications with varying delay, throughput, and
|
|
reliability requirements, e.g., interconnection of distri-
|
|
buted operating system clusters, development of end-to-end
|
|
bulk transfer protocols, multimedia conferencing, intercon-
|
|
nection real-time interactive simulation/training systems.
|
|
The Terrestrial Wideband continues this tradition by using
|
|
one of the cross-country T1 trunks from the DARPA National
|
|
Networking Testbed (NNT) to support research in high speed
|
|
networking, to provide connectivity among academic and
|
|
government sites, and to support a testbed for Internet pro-
|
|
tocol development and experimentation with applications.
|
|
Currently this network is carrying cross-country Internet
|
|
datagram traffic associated with DARPA-funded projects. It
|
|
also supports a research environment for multimedia con-
|
|
ferencing and voice/video conferencing using gateways which
|
|
use a real-time connection oriented protocol over a connec-
|
|
tionless network.

Access to the Terrestrial Wideband is typically via an IP or
|
|
ST gateway. Connection of such a host is at the discretion
|
|
of DARPA. The current network includes the following Wide-
|
|
band Packet Switches (WPS) and user sites -- BBN (BBN), NY
|
|
(RADC), Washington (DARPA, NRL), Chicago (NCSA), LA (ISI),
|
|
SRI (SRI, Stanford). This fall, Ft Monmouth will be con-
|
|
nected to the NY WPS and CMU will be connected to a WPS to
|
|
be installed in Pittsburgh.

The Terrestrial Wideband Network is to be used for DARPA-
|
|
funded research and development activities of the Internet
|
|
community. Users typically access the network via gateways
|
|
which have Internet connectivity to the Terrestrial Wideband
|
|
Network. Applications which might benefit most from the
|
|
Terrestrial Wideband Network are those which require high
|
|
bandwidth and/or low delay between geographically distant
|
|
sites, such as bulk file transfer, remote procedure calls,
|
|
conferencing, graphic simulations, and distributed operating
|
|
systems.

|
|
|
a) System and Network Architecture
|
|
The Terrestrial Wideband is currently a trans-
|
|
continental network built on T1 trunks belonging to the
|
|
National Networking Testbed (NNT). The Wideband packet
|
|
switch nodes (WPSs) are located at unattended NNT
|
|
Points of Presence (POPs). They are based on Butterfly
|
|
multiprocessor hardware and are connected via the T1
|
|
fiberoptic trunks into a backbone configuration. The
|
|
WPSs pass network traffic using the Dual Bus Protocol
|
|
reservation scheme. Local area networks at user sites,
|
|
e.g., ethernets, are connected to the backbone packet
|
|
switches via Internet IP and ST gateways and T1 tail
|
|
circuits.
|
|
|
|
The current topology of the network, which resulted
|
|
from external constraints, is a series of packet
|
|
switches connected in a line by T1 trunks. This can
|
|
result in partitioning of the network in the event of a
|
|
packet switch failure. To minimize outages, the Ter-
|
|
restrial Wideband Network includes a number of
|
|
features. The multiprocessor hardware configuration
|
|
used for the packet switch provides redundancy in case
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
September 27, 1989 NNSC Section 5.21, Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a processor node fails. Also, a failsafe box isolates
|
|
the WPS upon detection of an outage while continuing to
|
|
maintain connectivity between the T1 trunks in and out
|
|
of the failed WPS, thus maintaining network continuity.
|
|
The network also allows remote dial-in access for a
|
|
number of emergency functions that would otherwise have
|
|
to be performed by on-site staff.
|
|
|
|
b) Operations
|
|
A remote monitoring center provides network control
|
|
capabilities, and a dialup capability provides backup
|
|
monitoring and control when necessary. The Terrestrial
|
|
Wideband Network packet switch software can be updated
|
|
via remote downloading. Network operations support is
|
|
provided between 8AM and 8PM Eastern time.
|
|
|
|
c) Protocols
|
|
|
|
- TCP/IP traffic is supported by the Terrestrial Wide-
|
|
band Network. This is accomplished by using standard
|
|
Internet gateways.
|
|
|
|
- Stream Protocol (ST) protocol (based on IEN 119) is
|
|
used between gateways which support voice/video
|
|
traffic. This is a connection-oriented protocol which
|
|
operates over the connectionless Terrestrial Wideband
|
|
Network, and allows the gateways to send packets to
|
|
other destinations with minimal delay, as is required
|
|
for voice/video conferencing.
|
|
|
|
- Gateways communicate with the Terrestrial Wideband
|
|
Network packet switches (WPSs) via the Host Access
|
|
Protocol (HAP), specified in RFC 907-A. This is a pro-
|
|
tocol by which a host can send datagrams across the
|
|
network, and can request and manage network bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
- The WPS software provides an echo host which
|
|
responds to ICMP ping packets.
|
|
|
|
- Dual Bus Protocol provides a link-level transport
|
|
protocol which uses a reservation mechanism to provide
|
|
access fairness for each WPS. This is a type of Dis-
|
|
tributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) protocol similar to the
|
|
IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) protocol,
|
|
but with features that support wide area networking and
|
|
multimedia conferencing. Whereas conventional packet
|
|
store and forwarding would involve per packet forward-
|
|
ing processing and buffering at every intermediate

node, a DQDB protocol performs processing and buffering
|
|
only at the entry point and minimizes the processing
|
|
and buffering at subsequent nodes along the trunk until
|
|
the exit point.
|
|
|
|
- Wideband Monitoring Protocol (IP protocol number 78)
|
|
is used between the WPSs and the monitoring center.

SWITCH is a foundation, sponsored by the government and the
|
|
Swiss universities, providing teleinformatics services to
|
|
all Swiss universities and to various research institutes by
|
|
connecting to national and international resources. SWITCH
|
|
started operation in October 1988.
|
|
|
|
SWITCHlan is a national backbone network which connects all
|
|
universities using leased lines with speeds between
|
|
128kbit/s and 2Mbit/s. For routing on these national leased
|
|
lines SWITCH uses CISCO router-bridges. The protocols sup-
|
|
ported are DECnet, TCP/IP, X.25 and ISO IP.
|
|
|
|
All Swiss supercomputers are connected to SWITCHlan. Access
|
|
to some library catalogs will become available later on.
|
|
|
|
International connections on the network level will go into
|
|
operation in January 1990:
|
|
|
|
- IP connection to CERN with 128kbit/s.
|
|
|
|
- IP connection to the Internet/NSFnet with 64kbit/s
|
|
through INRIA, France to Princeton University, USA.
|
|
|
|
A connection to the COSINE/IXI pilot X.25 network will be
|
|
realized in the first quarter of 1990.

BARRNet is the Northern California regional hub of the
|
|
NSFNet, the National Science Foundation Network. BARRNet's
|
|
purpose is to facilitate scientific and educational communi-
|
|
cations using high-performance computer networking technol-
|
|
ogy and wide-area telecommunications utilities, and to pro-
|
|
mote collaboration, sharing of information, and wide access
|
|
to computer resources for research and educational purposes.
|
|
BARRNet was established in 1986 under a grant from the NSF
|
|
by a consortium of six members: Stanford University, the
|
|
NASA Ames Research Center, and the Berkeley, Santa Cruz, San
|
|
Francisco, and Davis campuses of the University of Califor-
|
|
nia. Since then BARRNet has grown to include several addi-
|
|
tional government and private research laboratories and more
|
|
than twenty-five corporate affiliates.
|
|
|
|
Four BARRNet sites-UC Berkeley, Stanford University, the
|
|
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and NASA Ames-are
|
|
connected in a ring by data circuits running at T1 speed
|
|
(1.544 Mbps). UC Davis, which is connected to UC Berkeley
|
|
by a T1 line, is also considered a core site; the remaining
|
|
sites are connected to one of the core sites, typically by
|
|
T1 or 56kbps lines, but in some cases by microwave or direct
|
|
Ethernet (10 Mbps) connections. BARRNet is connected to the
|
|
NSFNET by an NSS (Nodal Switching Subsystem) located at
|
|
Stanford University. Stanford is also the site of the
|
|
BARRNet Network Operating Center, or NOC.

Beginning in April of 1990, BARRNet's membership fees will
|
|
be adjusted to reflect size and type of organization, as
|
|
well as connection speed. Also during the spring and summer
|
|
of 1990, BARRNet will be implementing low-speed (9600 bps)
|
|
dedicated line services, with dial-up services available
|
|
shortly thereafter.

An Administrative Committee oversees BARRNet policy,
|
|
finances, and general operations. A Technical Committee
|
|
advises the Administrative Committee, and oversees day-to-

of a not-for-profit member's research or instruction is
|
|
acceptable. Use of BARRNet for scientific research or
|
|
instruction at for-profit affiliate sites may or may not be
|
|
consistent with the purposes of BARRNet, and will be
|
|
reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Commercial uses such as

NorthWestNet (NWNet) is a mid-level network of the National
|
|
Science Foundation Network (NSFNET). NWNet provides commun-
|
|
ication with NSFNET for research centers throughout the
|
|
Northwest, including sites in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North
|
|
Dakota, Oregon, and Washington. The network supports both
|
|
IP and DECnet within NWNet, but access to the NSFNET is res-
|
|
tricted to IP only. A primary focus of NWNet is providing
|
|
access by researchers in the Northwest to supercomputing
|
|
resources.

ton. The network is currently implemented using a mix of
|
|
T1, 56 Kb/s, and voice grade (19.2 Kb/s) leased lines in a
|
|
mostly-tree topology.
|
|
|
|
NWNet is funded by a grant from the National Science Founda-
|
|
tion and by membership fees. A Management Committee
|
|
comprised largely of representatives from the member insti-
|
|
tutions governs NWNet. Other committees that advise the
|
|
Management Committee include the Technical Committee and the
|
|
Training Committee (a subcommittee of the Technical Commit-
|
|
tee).
|
|
|
|
Several member institutions have large computers accessible
|
|
via the Internet. For example, there are two Cray XMP/48
|
|
computers at NWNet sites (Boeing and Battelle). Some other
|
|
resources available to NWNet members include: a mail gate-
|
|
way machine, relay.cac.washington.edu, which can route mail
|
|
between the Internet, BITNET, CSNET, and UUCP networks;
|
|
Internet access to the University of Washington library
|
|
catalog (uwcat.lib.washington.edu-use the keypad + key or
|
|
enter key to change screens; break the telnet connection to
|
|
close) and the University of Oregon library catalog
|
|
(janus.uoregon.edu); and the University of Washington Com-
|
|
puting Information Center (CIC), which has more than 8000
|
|
books, 1200 serial titles, and 8500 technical reports
|
|
related to computing.
|
|
|
|
NWNet sponsors a yearly seminar highlighting the resources
|
|
and services of NWNet, as well as discipline-specific
|
|
workshops for interested researchers currently using super-
|
|
computers or contemplating such use. We also maintain and
|
|
distribute a training kit containing a manual and videotape
|
|
geared toward training user-services personnel in TCP/IP,

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.

The Texas Higher Education Network (THEnet) was formed in
|
|
1986 through a combination of networking efforts at Texas
|
|
A&M University, the University of Houston, the University of
|
|
Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the Univer-
|
|
sity of Texas System. It covers the state of Texas, with a
|
|
link to the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores
|
|
de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. THEnet's goal is to pro-
|
|
vide and advance the electronic exchange of information in
|
|
support of the teaching, research, development, and related
|
|
collaborative activities of the Texas higher education and
|
|
research communities.
|
|
|
|
THEnet is not a homogeneous network utilizing a single net-
|
|
working protocol. Rather it is a network of physical con-
|
|
nections between and within organizations making various use
|
|
of IP, DECnet, SNA, RSCS/NJE, OSI, and compressed digital
|
|
video. It provides researchers, faculty, and students the
|
|
networking "tools" that they need for their particular
|
|
situations. THEnet currently connects over 60 institutions,

Network Services
|
|
|
|
Network information and operations management are provided
|
|
through the University of Texas (UT) System Office of
|
|
Telecommunication Services (OTS). The OTS provides both
|
|
network information center (NIC) and network operations
|
|
center (NOC) services to THEnet member institutions.
|
|
|
|
Informative documents are available on node nic.the.net
|
|
(Internet) via anonymous FTP, and THENIC (DECnet) via
|
|
default DECnet file access. See the file THENET.INDEX for a
|
|
list of available documents.

THEnet is an NSF regional network, with access to the NSFNET
|
|
backbone through the NSS (Nodal Switching Subsystem) at Rice
|
|

|
|
Physics Analysis Network (SPAN) by DECnet routers at the
|
|
University of Texas at Austin and NASA Johnson Space Center.
|
|
Access to ESnet and HEPnet (ESnet-DECnet) is also provided
|
|
through UT Austin, an ESnet backbone site. THEnet has
|
|
external BITNET connectivity provided by Rice University via

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,

ILAN, the Israeli Academic Network, established in 1984, is
|
|
dedicated to universities and academic, medical, and non-
|
|
profit research institutes. The network is widely used for
|
|
scientific, educational, academic, and research purposes:
|
|
commercial and political use is not allowed, either directly
|
|
or indirectly.
|
|
|
|
ILAN has installed six 64kb lines to create a central high-
|
|
speed backbone between Israel's seven major universities.
|
|
ILAN has international connections to EARN and Nysernet.
|
|
|
|
ILAN's former NJE traffic and all EARN/Bitnet network ser-
|
|
vices now run on ILAN's TCP/IP backbone. We plan a 56kb
|
|
link to Nysernet (the New York State Educational and
|
|
Research Network), a regional network of NSFNET (the US
|
|
National Science Foundation Network). In the interim, ILAN
|
|
will connect to Nysernet via a 9.6kb IP link.
|
|
|
|
Our backbone supports "Aleph," a project for the computeri-
|
|
zation and interconnection of all university library card
|
|
catalogs, which is near to completion. This system allows
|
|
students and faculty to search card catalogs at local
|
|
university libraries as well as libraries located at other
|
|
universities within Israel. Since this system was developed
|
|
long before the ILAN project, it was based on DECNET

ESnet is a computer data communications network managed and
|
|
funded by the Department of Energy Office of Energy Research
|
|
(DOE/OER) for the purpose of supporting open scientific
|
|
research in multiple programs. ESnet is intended to facili-
|
|
tate access to resources at ER scientific facilities, to
|
|
provide for information dissemination among scientific col-
|
|
laborators throughout all ER programs, and to provide
|
|
widespread access to existing supercomputer facilities via
|
|
remote login, electronic mail, file transfer, and related
|
|
utilities.
|
|
|
|
ESnet is installed and operated by the National Energy
|
|
Supercomputer Center (NERSC), formerly known as the National
|
|
Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center (NMFECC), which is
|
|
located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in
|
|
California. ESnet policy is guided by the ESnet Steering
|
|
Committee, appointed by the DOE Office of Scientific Comput-
|
|
ing, with representatives from each of the Energy Research
|
|
Programs. The ESnet program plan, prepared by this commit-
|
|
tee, is available from the National Technical Information
|
|
Service as report DOE/ER-0341 (June 1987).
|
|
|
|
The ESnet backbone consists of largely of T1 links (1.544
|
|
megabit per second) interconnecting nineteen sites in the
|
|
United States. Network access to Europe and Japan is also
|
|
supplied in collaboration with foreign research facilities.

FidoNet allows MS and PC DOS personal computers, linked over
|
|
dial-up telephone lines, to contact UNIX and UUCP computers
|
|
via gateways. FidoNet, which was started in 1984, now con-
|
|
sists of more than 7,000 computers, or nodes, run by local
|
|
system administrators.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
FidoNet is fully coupled into the Internet. You do not need
|
|
to know any specific gateways, just address the message
|
|
correctly into the fidonet.org domain, and everything will
|
|
be routed automatically.
|
|
|
|
FidoNet addresses can be addressed in the basic format of:
|
|
|
|
FirstName_LastName@pww.fzz.nxx.zyy.fidonet.org
|
|
|
|
ww= Point Number (This is usually not needed unless
|
|
specific to a subsystem.)
|
|
zz= FidoNet Node
|
|
xx= FidoNet Network or Region
|
|
yy= FidoNet Zone (Presently only 1 to 5 are valid.)
|
|
|
|
Therefore, as an example, user David Dodell resides at
|
|
FidoNet address 1:114/15. My FidoNet Internet address is:

The California Education and Research Federation Network,
|
|
CERFnet, is a data communications regional network that
|
|
operates throughout California. The purpose of CERFnet is
|
|
to advance science and education by assisting the inter-
|
|
change of information among research and educational insti-
|
|
tutions through high-speed data communications techniques.
|
|
|
|
CERFnet was launched in the spring of 1989 with a $2.8 mil-
|
|
lion grant from the National Science Foundation. CERFnet
|
|
links fifty of the leading research and education centers in
|
|
California at data transfer rates of up to 1.544 megabits
|
|
per second (T1). The CERFnet backbone nodes are located at
|
|
UCLA, UC Irvine, SDSC, Caltech, and the UC Office of the
|
|
President in Oakland, California. CERFnet membership is
|
|
open to all organizations in California, including any
|
|
university, college, industrial or government facility, hos-
|
|
pital, or library.
|
|
|
|
CERFnet offers several different connection options. A CERF
|
|
1544 (1.544 Mbps), CERF 56 (56 kbps) or CERF 9.6 (9.6 kbps)
|
|
entitles the subscriber to a dedicated leased circuit.
|
|
CERFnet offers DIAL N' CERF, a dial-up SLIP service to the
|
|
network. DIAL N' CERF subscribers connect to the network by
|
|
dialing-up the nearest backbone node and logging on to a
|
|
CERFnet terminal server.

The Merit staff operates a gateway between the Internet and
|
|
SprintMail, which allows messages to be exchanged between
|
|
SprintMail customers and Internet users. The gateway is
|
|
connected to Sprintnet and to the Internet through Merit's
|
|
connections to the NSFNET.
|
|
|
|
SprintMail, operated by Sprint International, is a commer-
|
|
cial X.400 electronic mail network providing services to US
|
|
customers and access to other networks domestically and
|
|
internationally. Formerly known as Telemail, SprintMail
|
|
uses the Sprintnet (formerly Telenet) public data network
|
|
for its e-mail connections.
|
|
|
|
Merit provides hardware and software maintenance and
|
|
administration and network operations (via the Merit Network
|
|
Operations Center) for the Internet gateway; Sprint provides
|
|
Sprintnet connectivity and user consulting and registration,
|
|
as well as gateways to other X.400 networks.
|
|
|
|
The gateway is a Sun SPARCstation-I running Sun OS 4.0.3 and
|
|
Sunlink MHS. An X.25 link to Sprintnet is connected to the
|
|
Sun's serial port at 9600 bps. Protocols used are X.400
|
|
Message Handling System, X.225 session layer, X.224 tran-
|
|
sport class 0, and X.25. On the Internet side, the Simple
|
|
Mail Transfer Protocol (RFC-822), Transfer Control Protocol,
|
|
Internet Protocol, and Ethernet protocols are used.

The gateway supports a directory function that allows
|
|
SprintMail customers to be registered with a mnemonic name
|
|
which can be used by Internet users when sending mail.
|
|
SprintMail users who wish to register can contact Sprint
|
|
Customer Service.
|
|
|
|
Merit provides domain name service for the SPRINT.COM domain
|
|
as well as for some other domains on behalf of some
|
|
SprintMail customers. For example, the COMPMAIL.COM domain
|
|
is owned by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic
|
|
Engineering) Computer Society but is operated by Merit as
|
|
part of the gateway function.

|
|
|
|
From the Internet to SprintMail
|
|
To use the gateway, an Internet user can specify a
|
|
registered SprintMail alias name, in the form:
|
|
|
|
John.Doe@Sprint.COM
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the full X.400 Originator/Recipient (OR) name
|
|
can be specified, (all on one line), for example:
|
|
|
|
/pn=John.Doe/admd=Telemail/o=Sprintintl/c=us/@Sprint.COM
|
|
|
|
The Internet host name after the at-sign, @, can be
|
|
SPRINT.COM or another domain supported by the Merit gateway.
|
|
X.400 OR names consist of a list of parameters and their
|
|
values. X.400 parameters in OR names that can be used by
|
|
the SprintMail gateway include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
ADMD Administrative Management Domain
|
|
PRMD Private Management Domain
|
|
PN Personal Name
|
|
G Given Name
|
|
S Surname
|
|
DD.UN User Name (DD is "Domain Defined")
|
|
O Organization
|
|
C Country (two-letter abbreviations must be used, for
|
|
example, US, GB, JP)
|
|
|
|
|
|
From SprintMail to the Internet
|
|
When sending mail from the SprintMail X.400 environment to
|
|
the Internet, the native syntax of the sender's system
|
|
should be used. Use an _A_D_M_D of TELEMAIL, _P_R_M_D of INTERNET
|
|
and _C_o_u_n_t_r_y of US, along with the "RFC-822" _d_o_m_a_i_n _d_e_f_i_n_e_d
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attribute to specify the user's Internet mail address. For
|
|
example, to send mail from the SprintMail system to an
|
|
Internet user whose address is jdoe@engin.college.edu, type
|
|
(all on one line):
|
|
|
|
(Site:Internet,ID:<jdoe(a)engin.college.edu>)
|
|
|
|
The angle brackets "< >" are required. The "(a)" replaces
|
|
the at-sign, @, because that and most other special charac-
|
|
ters are illegal as specified in RFC 987, which makes it
|
|
necessary to substitute "(u)" for underscore, _, "(b)" for
|
|
bang (exclamation point), !, "(q)" for a quotation mark, ",
|
|
and "(p)" for percent, %.
|
|
|
|
Resolving Problems
|
|
|
|
If a message sent across the gateway cannot be delivered,
|
|
the gateway will send a return message to notify the sender
|
|
of nondelivery. That notification message will explain the
|
|
problem with the mail address. If you have further ques-
|
|
tions, call or send e-mail to Sprint Customer Service.

|
|
(1.544 mps), and currently connecting twenty-seven sites
|
|
using cisco and Proteon routers to the NSFNET.
|
|
|
|
The goal of MIDnet is to facilitate and promote the exchange
|
|
of information consistent with the purposes of its members.
|
|

|
|
state and local government facilities, and commercial organ-
|
|
izations. MIDnet is currently operated with National Sci-
|
|
ence Foundation grant funds and member dues. A director and
|
|
staff manage MIDnet, providing technical support services, a
|
|
network information center, and a network operations center
|
|
at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
|
|
|
|
Major information resources include the EROS Data Center
|
|
(South Dakota), libraries, the Washington University
|
|

SDSCnet is a network that links academic, industrial, and
|
|
government affiliates with the San Diego Supercomputer
|
|
Center (SDSC) and, by extension, with NSFNET.
|
|
|
|
Participating organizations may use the network to login
|
|
remotely to SDSC's supercomputer, parallel machines, and
|
|
visualization resources; transfer files; send and receive
|
|
electronic mail; and connect to other resources on NSFNET.
|
|
Some organizations also receive software support. If an
|
|
organization's network device(s) support(s) SNMP, the link
|
|
is monitored for outages 24 hours/day seven days/week.
|

Connections to SDSCnet are dedicated links primarily at 56
|
|
Kbps and T1 speeds using the TCP/IP or DECnet protocols.
|
|
(OSI protocols will be added when they become available.)
|
|
Links to BITNET are also available for institutions that
|
|
wish it and that qualify as members of CREN.

|
A connection to this network is available to any academic,

industrial, or government organization not otherwise con-
|
|
nected to NSFNET that seeks such a connection. The cost
|
|
depends on the preferred speed, network device, protocol of
|
|
the connection, and the types of services required.

CSUNET (California State University Network) spans the state
|
|
of California. Its membership consists of the twenty Cali-
|
|
fornia State University campuses, five California Community
|
|
Colleges, and the California Department of Education.
|
|
|
|
CSUNET has four T1 connection points with the Internet, two
|
|
with BARRNet (Stanford and UC Davis), one with CERFnet (UC
|
|
Irvine) and one with SDSCnet/CERFnet (SDSC). CSUNET also has
|
|
X.25 packet connections to SprintNet and 9600-baud X.25 and
|
|
Telnet dial-up access for limited CSU-sponsored programs.
|
|
Between the CSU campuses, CSUNET also supports DECnet,
|
|
Appletalk, and SNA, along with TCP/IP.
|
|
|
|
In 1988, partial funding was received from the National Sci-
|
|
ence Foundation for cisco routers. Today, however, CSUNET
|
|
is funded entirely by the State of California in support of
|
|
K-12, community college, and university-level education.
|
|
|
|
Logical and geographic maps of CSUNET are located in the
|
|
csunet/maps subdirectory at nic.csu.net (130.150.102.20).

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.
|
|
|
|
Seven organizations are already participating in this net-
|
|
work (ISI, USC, JPL, CalTech, UCLA, TIS and Rand). 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
|
|
Diego Supercomputer Center), or to other regional networks
|

WiscNet is a nonprofit association that provides access to
|
|
national network resources for higher education institu-
|
|
tions, mostly in the state of Wisconsin. The primary pur-
|
|
pose of WiscNet is to provide access to the Internet.
|
|
WiscNet provides no direct services to end users, but rather
|
|
acts as a conduit to the resources of the Internet and makes
|
|
possible interchange of information using electronic mail
|
|
and network news.
|
|
|
|
WiscNet is governed by a board of directors consisting of
|
|
one member from each charter member institution plus the NSF
|
|
proposal investigators. The board is reponsible for setting
|
|
broad operating policy, establishing direction, establishing
|
|
membership categories, and assessing membership fees. A
|
|
Network Planning Committee works with the operating agent on
|
|
network design issues.
|
|
|
|
The Madison Academic Computing Center at the UW-Madison pro-
|
|
vides day-to-day operational support for WiscNet. This
|
|
includes a Network Operation Center that provides problem
|
|
reporting and resolution services 24 hour a day, 365 days a
|
|
year.
|
|
|
|
WiscNet operates a packet-switched network consisting of
|
|
routers connected by T1 (1.544 Mbps) and DDS (56 Kbps)

communications lines. This network is connected to the
|
|
national network at UW-Madison by two T1 lines.
|
|
|
|
The network backbone consists of cisco AGS routers located
|
|
at UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Oshkosh, and
|
|
UW-Stevens Point. These backbone routers are redundantly
|
|
connected by 256-Kbps circuits provided by the State of
|
|
Wisconsin Department of Administration's Consolidated Data
|
|
Network (CDN). End node sites are connected to the nearest
|
|
backbone sites in their LATA by 56-Kbps DDS circuits.

The Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet) is a
|
|
national network that interconnects the major academic and
|
|
research facilities within Australia. The network connects
|
|
all Australian universities, the Commonwealth Scientific and
|
|
Industrial and Research Organisation (CSIRO), and many other
|
|
government, commercial, and industrial research facilities
|
|
in Australia.
|
|
|
|
Internally the network uses a mix of 2-mbit and 48-kbit
|
|
leased lines and multi-protocol routers to provide the con-
|
|
nection infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
The network supports national TCP/IP and DECnet Phase IV
|
|
services. The TCP/IP network is interconnected to the Inter-
|
|
net via a PACCOM link to FIX-West at Mountain View, Califor-
|
|
nia. At time of writing this international link uses a
|
|
256-kbit satellite circuit.

|
|
and research sector.

UNINETT is the Norwegian academic data network. Its purpose
|
|
is to support research and education and collaborative work
|
|
in and among academic and non-profit research organizations
|
|
in Norway by providing access to computer networks and net-
|
|
work resources. UNINETT is both a network, an organization,
|
|
and an infrastructure based on a set of datacommunication
|
|
protocols. As the Norwegian branch of the Internet,
|
|
EARN/BITNET, the European academic DECnet, and OSInet/IXI,
|
|
UNINETT offers a variety of services connecting the
|
|
Norwegian academic society to the rest of the academic
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
Electronic mail, file transfer, terminal access, directory
|
|
services, and USENET Network News are among the services
|
|
available on the UNINETT network.
|
|
|
|
By July 1991, about eighty academic and research organiza-
|
|
tions are connected to the UNINETT backbone, giving national
|
|
and international connection to some eight thousand IP
|
|
hosts, a few hundred DECnet hosts and X.400 MTAs, and a
|
|
handful of EARN/BITNET nodes. The number of users is stipu-
|
|
lated to be about fifteen thousand.
|
|
|
|
UNINETT is a member of NORDUnet, which is a cooperative
|
|
effort of the academic networks in all of the Nordic coun-
|
|
tries and is connected internationally through the NORDUnet

ARNET, a TCP/IP network connected to the Internet, is the
|
|
major science and research network of Argentina. It con-
|
|
nects approximately three hundred sites, mainly universities
|
|
and research organizations. ARNET provides electronic mail,
|
|
USENET News, file server, and electronic mailing list ser-
|
|
vices.
|
|
|
|
Like other cooperative networks, ARNET has no central plan-
|
|
ning or central authority. The current international link
|
|
and the top-level AR domain are managed by the UNDP (United
|
|
Nations Development Programme), Project ARG-86-026, at the
|
|
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MREC), together with the Secre-
|
|
tariat of Science and Technology (SECYT). For the time
|
|
being, the top-level subdomains are administered by the
|
|
UNDP/MREC project.
|
|
|
|
ARNET is a store-and-forward message network based on the
|
|
Unix communications facilities. The international elec-
|
|
tronic mail gateway and USENET news backbone, atina.ar, is a
|
|
'386 machine running Unix System V connected to the MREC
|
|
Local Area Network. The network is connected to the Inter-
|
|
net through a satellite link to SURANet at the University of
|

|
Most ARNET connections are over the public telephone network
|
|
or the public packet-switching network, ARPAC, using the
|
|
UUCP protocol in different environments. USENET news and
|
|
most electronic mail traffic is brought to ARNET from
|
|
uunet.uu.net via Internet.
|
|
|
|
Several major nodes, such as secyt.gov.ar (Secretaria de
|
|
Ciencia y Tecnologia), dcfcen.edu.ar (Departamento de Compu-
|
|
tacion, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universi-
|
|
dad de Buenos Aires), and opsarg.org.ar (Organizacion Panam-
|
|
ericana de la Salud), call atina.ar over telephone lines,
|
|
PSN ARPAC, or leased lines to distribute mail and news
|
|
traffic to other nodes. Many nodes use various implementa-
|
|
tions of UUCP for MS-DOS with limited functionality.
|
|
|
|
Future plans
|
|
|
|
There is a cooperation agreement between the UNDP/MREC pro-
|
|
ject and the SECYT to distribute Internet services. The
|
|
first stage will be the installation of a couple of Unix
|
|
boxes at major regional sites, interconnected through the
|
|
PSN ARPAC and national satellite links using UUCP. The
|
|
second stage will be the migration from UUCP to TCP/IP.
|
|
There are under study different ways to distribute Internet
|
|
services throughout the country, and to upgrade the interna-
|
|
tional link to the Internet.

ARNET's IP number is 140.191. Several bits of the address
|
|
are reserved for subnetting. The subnet mask is
|
|
255.255.254.0.
|
|
|
|
The current MX-host for the AR domain is uunet.uu.net.
|
|
Domain Name Service for AR domain is served by NS.UU.NET and
|
|
UUCP-GW-1.PA.DEC.COM. Most systems on ARNET use the Inter-
|
|
net addressing scheme and the UUCP bang notation.

There are several top-level subdomains. Provincial sub-
|
|
domains are used when sites don't apply for organizational
|
|
subdomains.

TANet, The Taiwan Academic Network, is a pilot project
|
|
undertaken by the Ministry of Education and Universities
|
|
Computer Center to establish a common national academic net-
|
|
work infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
To support research and academic institutions in Taiwan,
|
|
TANet will provide access to unique resources and opportuni-
|
|
ties for collaborative work. TANet will be composed of most
|
|
of the Taiwan Internet community, including industry net-
|
|
works such as SEEDNet (Software Engineering Environment
|
|
Development Network).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The management structure of TANet is a two-layer hierarchy.
|
|
The TANet network service center (TANSC) is to be responsi-
|
|
ble for the national backbone network and management of
|
|
international links. Within each regional area, a regional
|
|
network service center (RNSC) will provide necessary ser-
|
|
vices and support connections to the TANet backbone from the
|
|
local-area network/campus network of each
|
|
university/institution. At present, TANSC is run by the
|
|
Ministry of Education computer center, and each RNSC is run

|
|
Protocols
|
|
|
|
The network protocols will initially focus on TCP/IP on the
|
|
TANet backbone. Regional networks may support multiple pro-
|
|
tocols and additional facilities (including X.25 transport
|
|
or dial-up services) on a local basis in accordance with
|
|
regional requirements. Support for OSI (CLNS) routing will
|
|
be introduced in the near future. Existing Taiwan BITNET
|
|
and ifNET (information NETwork) applications (including
|
|
electronic mail delivery, NetNEWS, and file transfer) will
|
|
be supported over TANet via IP connections.
|
|
|
|
Network Topology
|
|
|
|
The network implementation uses a ring/mesh topology. It
|
|
interconnects by intelligent routers and high-speed leased
|
|
circuits/LANs together.
|
|
|
|
High-speed T1 (1.544 Mbps) circuits were installed between
|
|
NSYSU and NTU, MOECC, NCU, NCTU, NTHU, and NCKU. NTU, NTHU,
|
|
NCHU, and NCKU are now 9.6 kbps for backup purposes (they
|
|
will be changed to at least 64 kbps in 1992). Dynamic ISDN
|
|
links are also intended to provide backup services in the
|
|
event of failure of a primary link. The bandwidth of each
|
|
local link will depend on its local requirements; global
|
|
considerations will dictate further moves toward higher
|
|
bandwidths on the backbone links.
|
|
|
|
A 64-kbps link will be installed from the Ministry of Educa-
|
|
tion Computer Center to Princeton University in October
|
|
1991. This link will couple TANet to both JvNCnet and
|
|
NSFNET.

OARnet is the regional network for the state of Ohio. It
|
|
serves the higher education community, providing Ohio scho-
|
|
lars access to colleagues worldwide. OARnet also provides
|
|
commercial connectivity to industrial and commercial members
|
|
with unrestricted traffic flow between other OARnet members
|
|
and the Internet. Libraries, databases, national and inter-
|
|
national laboratories, and research centers are accessible,
|
|
helping make Ohio schools competitive.
|
|
|
|
The Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) was established
|
|
in 1987 to provide statewide access to the Cray supercom-
|
|
puter at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Since then it has
|
|
evolved into a network supporting all aspects of higher edu-
|
|
cation in Ohio. A primary goal of OARnet is to facilitate
|
|
collaborative projects and sharing of resources between
|
|
institutions, including those outside the state. OARnet
|
|
connections are available to Ohio academic institutions and
|
|
corporations engaged in reseach, product development, or
|
|
instruction. Colleges, universities, and industries
|
|
currently use OARnet connections to communicate within the
|
|
state and with colleagues around the country.

NCSAnet is a regional supercomputing network with sites pri-
|
|
marily located in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. The
|
|
NCSAnet private corporate network is national in scale.
|
|
|
|
NCSAnet is a dual-hub network with hubs on the campuses of
|
|
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Chi-
|
|
cago. The Chicago hub, or, CHUB, is a Chicago area metro-
|
|
politan network with current members UI-Chicago, Univ of
|
|
Chicago (see also CICnet), Northwestern (see also CICnet),
|
|
Illinois Inst. of Tech., Argonne National Laboratory, and
|
|
Notre Dame. The Urbana hub connects the Univ of Wisconsin
|
|
Milwaukee and Parkside campuses and Purdue University, as
|
|
well as private corporate labs in New York, Illinois,
|
|
Oklahoma, and Indiana.
|
|
|
|
Expansion of the academic portion of the network will con-
|
|
tinue, primarily through a state of Illinois network, netIL-
|
|
LINOIS, which has been proposed to connect smaller, pri-
|
|
marily undergraduate institutions in Illinois. netILLINOIS
|
|
is a proposed joint network project led by the Computing
|
|
Services Office at the University of Illinois and with the
|
|
National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the
|

NEARnet is a high-speed (up to 10 Mb/s) network of academic,
|
|
industrial, government, and non-profit organizations in New
|
|
England. It was established by Boston University, Harvard,
|
|
and MIT late in 1988; as of June, 1989, it included 14
|
|
organizations. NEARnet is operated by BBN Systems and Tech-
|
|
nologies under contract to MIT.
|
|
|
|
NEARnet uses the TCP/IP protocol suite and supports leased-
|
|
line and microwave links at speeds from 9.6 Kb/s to 10 Mb/s.
|
|
|
|
NEARnet has the goal of creating a regional ``information
|
|
infrastructure'' in New England to support education,
|
|
research and development. Special services and facilities,
|
|
such as the Connection Machine (TM), the Massachusetts
|
|
Microelectronics Center, and library catalogs, will be
|
|
available over NEARnet.
|
|
|
|
NEARnet is linked to the NSFNET backbone via connections to
|
|
the John von Neumann Center network and NYSERnet. It also
|
|
has a link to the Defense Research Internet.

The Coordination and Information Center provides technical
|
|
and information support for members of CREN/CSNET. The CIC
|
|
staff also maintains the following automated services:
|
|
|
|
|
|
o+ The Info-Server: info-server@sh.cs.net This automatic
|
|
program distributes documents in response to specially
|
|
formatted messages. The documents are also available
|
|
to Internet users through standard anonymous FTP login.
|
|
|
|
For instructions about this and other services, send a mes-
|
|
sage to info-server@sh.cs.net with "HELP" in the body of the
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o+ The User Name Server: registrar@sh.cs.net See section
|
|
4.4 of the _I_n_t_e_r_n_e_t _R_e_s_o_u_r_c_e _G_u_i_d_e.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o+ Fixaddr: fixaddr@relay.cs.net (or fixaddr@sh.cs.net)
|
|
This program is a helpful first step in converting
|
|
mailing lists to up-to-date domain-style addresses.
|
|
Send a message with a mailing list in the body of the
|
|
message. The list should contain one address per line,
|
|
in the form "user@domain," for example,
|
|
"socrates@philo.agora.edu". Fixaddr will convert

NIC table.
|
|
|
|
|

Department of Energy (DOE) is located at the Lawrence Liver-
|
|
more National Laboratory in Livermore, California. CIAC is
|
|
the DOE crisis center for the handling of computer related
|
|
security incidents. CIAC rapidly investigates reports of
|
|
possible computer system penetrations, computer viruses, and
|
|
similar problems. Stopgap software solutions are provided
|
|
in real-time while robust binary and source level patches
|
|
are developed. CIAC distributes information about computer
|
|
related threats to sites that may be vulnerable to those
|
|
specific threats. CIAC also retains systems consultants,
|
|
applications specialists, and research scientists to assist
|
|
researchers in the security arena.

|
|
|
As part of a network mapping project, we have implemented a
|
|
TCP-based geographic name server. In response to queries
|
|
consisting of a city name and/or ZIP code and an optional
|
|
state and/or country abbreviation, the server retrieves a
|
|
variety of data from a database containing information on
|
|
all US cities (~150,000). Queries containing UNIX ed(1)-
|
|
style regular expressions are also supported.
|
|
|
|
The geographic names database contains state, county, lati-
|
|
tude and longitude for all US cities. It also contains 1980
|
|
census population, elevation, area code, and ZIP code for a
|
|
large subset of the cities, as well as a small number of
|
|
international cities. The database contains information
|
|
about other geographic features such as counties, states,
|
|
rivers, lakes, summits, etc. in addition to populated
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
The raw data were obtained from the United States Geodetic
|
|
Survey (USGS) and the US Postal Service. USGS is developing
|
|
a Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) as the main
|
|
repository for its ongoing National Gazetteer project.

The NEST simulation package developed at Columbia provides
|
|
a generic framework for simulating networks and prototyping
|
|
distributed systems. The NEST simulation runs in a sin-
|
|
gle UNIX process, and the NEST monitor runs in a
|
|
separate process, which may be remote. Simulations are
|
|
created using the NEST library, a C-language library which
|
|
runs under the all UNIX variants on VAX and 680x0 processors
|
|
(SPARC and RT soon). The library provides a simple, high-
|
|
level message-passing facility among a set of concurrent
|
|
lightweight processes which simulate a distributed system.
|
|
Simulations can be interactively monitored and managed using
|
|
the standard Nest monitor program, which permits dynamic
|
|
reconfiguration of the simulation. It is possible to
|
|
create/halt/continue/destroy simulated nodes and links, and
|
|
to alter their function and parameters, while a simulation
|

age designed to give biomedical researchers a wide range of
|
|
computing capabilities which can increase productivity and
|
|
expand computational options. Tools for data management,
|
|
analysis, and scientific visualization include: comprehen-
|
|
sive capabilities in statistics and mathematical modeling,
|
|
molecular modeling and display, nucleic acid and protein
|
|
sequence manipulation, and a high level programming
|
|
language. Some of the other services PROPHET offers are:
|
|
access to databases of biomedical interest, such as the Pro-
|
|
tein Data Bank from Brookhaven National Laboratory, GenBank,
|
|
the Cambridge Crystallographic Database, and the PIR protein
|
|
sequence database, user support via electronic mail, a tele-
|
|
phone hotline, an online help system, an electronic
|
|
newsletter, and an organized user group, extensive documen-
|
|
tation, and numerous research application-specific programs.
|
|
Software created by biomedical investigators, such as MBIR,
|
|
and commercial software, such as SAS, can be utilized within
|
|
PROPHET. Users are also connected via the Internet to a
|
|
broad community of life science researchers. Capabilities
|
|
exist for establishing both moderated and unmoderated bul-
|
|
letin boards in various scientific domains of interest.

The 326-page _V_A_X _B_o_o_k attempts to answer most of the ques-
|
|
tions that University of Oregon users have had about using
|
|
VMS, EDT, the networks, statistics and graphics packages,
|
|
etc. Most of the concepts presented are illustrated by
|
|
means of annotated examples. A detailed table of contents
|
|
and index are included.
|
|
|
|
The book is available in either Digital Standard Runoff out-
|
|
put format suitable for printing on a line printer, or in
|
|
PostScript form suitable for printing on an Apple Laser-
|
|
Writer or other 300 DPI PostScript printer. I am also making
|
|
the raw .RNO files (and the code used to convert the guide
|
|
into TeX) available for those of you who are interested in
|
|
customizing the _V_A_X _B_o_o_k for your own site.
