Will we be getting ONE NREN or just four faster versions of the mission
agency networks? Looks like the latter. check out article on page 21 of
Feb 3 Network World where the department of Energy has just announced that
a BIG chunk of its HPCC money will go to upgrade ESNet to 45 meg cell
relay based services between 6 sites by dec 92. Speed will go presumably
network wide to 155 meg by end of 93 and 622 meg by 96.
Doesn't say whether the capacity is aggregate or clear channel. can
anyone fill us in on that one?
says an advantage will be the remote monitoring of nuclear fusion
reactors. Can anyone explain the significance of that? Also says ESnet
will be fully GOSSIP compliant. I thought OSI was beginning to loose out
to TCP/IP?
