Proposal for Network Connection of NORDUNET to the NSFNET

NSF将分担在瑞典的NORDUnet节点和新泽西州普林斯顿的JvNCnet站点的NSFnet骨干节点之间的数据通信链路的运营费用。NORDUnet连接了五个北欧国家的学术和研究网络：丹麦、芬兰、冰岛、挪威和瑞典。截至1989年7月，NORDUnet与NSFnet主干交换的总流量占欧洲国家与NSFnet主干交换总量的一半以上。到目前为止，现有的链接由NORDUNET项目全额支付，用于加强美国和北欧研究人员之间的合作交流能力。

NSF will share in the costs of operating a data communications link between the NORDUnet node in Sweden and the NSFNET backbone node at the JvNCnet site in Princeton, NJ. NORDUnet links the academic and research networks of five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Collectively, the exchange of NORDUnet traffic with the NSFNET backbone accounted for over half of the total exchange between european countries and the NSFNET backbone as of July, 1989. The existing link, heretofore fully paid for by the NORDUNET Project, is used to capacity for collaborative exchanges between US and Nordic researchers.
