Networking and Telecommunications Task Force of Educom (NTTF) and FARNET The NSF vBNS program is nearing the end of its 5-year award. As is described in its 1997 midterm review, the vBNS is widely recognized for essential contributions to the development of U.S. capabilities for advanced networking for R&D. In its first three years of service, for example, the vBNS has: - accelerated the planning and implementation of the Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure, - enabled the interconnection of the Internet2 universities and partners, - served as the core national network for goal 2.1 of the Next Generation Internet project, - supported remote computing and collaborations for significant advances in the sciences and engineering, and - led to the design and improvement of high-performance network technology in the commercial sector. The vBNS expert review concluded with a very strong recommendation that NSF continue its support for advanced networking for research and development after the scheduled conclusion of the present vBNS award. It is now time, therefore, to examine developments in technology and the environment since the vBNS program was designed and to reach sound recommendations on how NSF might best support its goals for the continued development of advanced networking in the coming years. This project intends to organize and oversee a formal process that captures and summarizes the best creative thinking of both experts and generalists in the U.S. community for advanced networking. The result will be a final document and supporting material outlining the major issues and objectives to be addressed by NSF in its follow-on program to the vBNS.

教育网络和电信工作队（NTTF）和FARNET NSF的vBNS计划即将结束其5年的奖励。正如1997年中期审查所述，vBNS被广泛认为对美国研发高级网络能力的发展做出了重要贡献。例如，在其服务的前三年，vBNS已经：-加快了高级计算基础设施伙伴关系的规划和实施， - 使因特网2大学和合作伙伴能够相互连接，--作为下一代因特网项目目标2.1的核心国家网络，--支持远程计算和合作，以促进科学和工程的重大进步，--促成设计和改进商业部门的高性能网络技术。 vBNS专家评审得出了一个非常强烈的建议，即NSF在本vBNS奖项预定结束后继续支持先进的网络研究和开发。 因此，现在是时候检查自vBNS计划设计以来技术和环境的发展，并就NSF如何最好地支持其在未来几年继续发展先进网络的目标提出合理的建议。该项目旨在组织和监督一个正式的过程，捕捉和总结美国社区中专家和通才的最佳创造性思维，以实现高级网络。结果将是一个最终文件和支持材料，概述了NSF在其vBNS后续计划中要解决的主要问题和目标。
