Connecting Connecticut Healthcare Institutions to the NSFNET

康涅狄格医院研究与教育基金会- J. Lynch与NSFNET的联系康涅狄格医院研究与教育基金会（CHREF）是康涅狄格医院协会的一个非营利性附属机构，建议作为一个中心协调站点，将感兴趣的卫生保健机构相互连接起来，并为这些机构提供一个进入NSFNET的门户。这种连接将使医疗保健专业人员和患者受益，并将提供用于大量医疗保健相关应用和通信的基础设施。为了提供足够的带宽升级潜力，CHREF建议使用基于帧中继的网络方法来实现这种连接。这将提供一个具有成本效益的解决方案，也将有助于将州内网络流量与互联网隔离开来。

Connecticut Hospital Research and Education Foundation, Inc. - J. Lynch Connection to NSFNET Proposal No. NCR-9417578 The Connecticut Hospital Research and Education Foundation, Inc. (CHREF), a non-profit affiliate of the Connecticut Hospital Association, proposes to serve as a central coordination site to interconnect interested health care institutions and to provide such institutions with a gateway to the NSFNET. This connection will benefit both health care professionals and patients, and will provide an infrastructure which will be used for a multitude of health care related applications and communications. CHREF proposes to accomplish this connectivity using a frame relay based network approach in order to provide sufficient bandwidth upgrade potential. This will provide a cost effective solution, and will also serve to isolate intra-state network traffic from the internet.
