Connections to NSFNET

塔斯基吉大学请求国家科学基金会支持将其校园网连接到SURAnet。SURAnet是位于美国东南部的中层网络。它将提供运营管理和信息服务，并将为塔斯基吉大学提供每秒5.6万比特的连接到NSFNET，这是一个高速（每秒150 - 4500万比特）的国家骨干网络。大学需要更大的功能和网络速度，以便能够访问超级计算机，图书馆，进行文件传输以及能够实现更可靠的邮件系统。学生和教师的研究将受益于这种联系。这也是学校探索创新教育资源的独特机会。

Tuskegee University request support from NSF for connection of their campus network to SURAnet. SURAnet is the midlevel network located in the southeastern United States. It will provide operations management and information services and it will give Tuskegee University a 56 thousand bits per second connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The University needs greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the link. This is also a unique opportunity for the school to explore innovative educational resources.
