Connecting To NSFnet Through PREPnet

该奖项使巴克内尔大学能够通过宾夕法尼亚州中层网络PREPnet连接到NSFnet。与互联网的连接将极大地改善学生和教职员工对超级计算机和其他资源的访问。特别是，文件传输和电子邮件的可靠性和速度将大大提高。到PREPnet的物理链路将是连接在园区以太网主干和一条56Kbps租用线路之间的Proteon IP路由器。该路由器由当地电话公司提供和维护，由宾夕法尼亚州贝尔公司管理。

This award enables Bucknell University to attach to NSFNET through the Pennsylvania mid-level network PREPnet. Connection to the Internet will greatly improve access to supercomputers and other resources needed by the students and faculty. In particular, reliability and speed of file transfers and electronic mail will be greatly enhanced. The physical link to PREPnet will be a Proteon IP router connected between the campus Ethernet backbone and a 56Kbps leased line. The router, to be provided and maintained by the local telephone company, is managed by Bell of Pennsylvania.
