9321047 Liebhaber MCI will provide the NSFNET very high speed Backbone Network Service (vBNS) as defined in project solicitation NSF 93-52. This service will be operated from MCI's production telecommunications infrastructure based on SONET technology. Five supercomputer center (SCCs) and the NSF designated Network Access Points (NAPs) will be interconnected to the vBNS. Access to the vBNS will commence at SONET OC-3 data rates (155 Mbps) with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access and will increase to gigabit per second rates over the 5 year award period. OC-12 access (655 Mbps) is estimated to be available by 1996. By 1998 an OC-192 (9.6 Gbits/sec) SONET backbone with OC-48 (2.$ GBits/sec) access to SCCs is anticipated. MCI will make a Testnet available in support of experimentation with new telecommunications technologies.

9321047 Liebhaber MCI将提供NSF 93-52项目招标中定义的NSFNET超高速骨干网络服务（vBNS）。 这项服务将在MCI基于SONET技术的生产电信基础设施上运行。 五个超级计算机中心（SCC）和NSF指定的网络接入点（NAP）将与vBNS互连。 对vBNS的访问将以SONET OC-3数据速率（155 Mbps）开始，采用异步传输模式（ATM）访问，并将在5年的授予期内增加到每秒千兆比特的速率。 OC-12接入（655 Mbps）估计将于1996年提供。 到1998年，OC-192（9.6吉比特/秒）SONET骨干网与OC-48（2.千兆位/秒）访问SCC。 MCI将提供一个测试网，以支持新电信技术的实验。
