Abstract The University of Tampa - P. Fingar Connection to NSFNET Proposal No. NCR-9355010 The University of Tampa request support from NSF for connection of their campus networks 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 the University of Tampa 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.
