Connection of IRCC Campus-Wide Network to NSFNET Via SURANET

该提案要求为印度河社区学院提供资金，通过SURANET（一个区域网络）在其校园广域网和NSFNET之间建立直接连接。这些连接将提供操作管理和信息服务，并将使该学院以每秒5.6万比特的速度连接到NSFNET，这是一个高速（每秒150 - 4500万比特）的国家骨干网。这种NSFNET连接的好处包括本地和远程研究人员和教育工作者之间的电子邮件，文件传输能力和使用远程计算机资源的能力。此外，学院将有能力研究教育资源的创新，并将其纳入课程。

9503413 O'Brien This proposal requests funds for Indian River Community College to establish a direct connection between its campus wide network and NSFNET via SURANET, a regional network. These connections will provide operations management and information services and it will give the college a 56 thousand bits per second connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The benefits of this NSFNET connection include e-mail between local and remote researchers and educators, file transfer capability and the ability to use remote computer resources. Also the college will have the ability to investigate innovation in educational resources and incorporate them into their curricula.
