HPNC: Brandeis University High Performance Network Connection

总体目标是建立与阿比林先进互联网设施的高性能连接，以支持科学研究。 为了实现这一连接，布兰代斯将通过北方十字路口（NoX）与阿比林网络建立高级连接。 Brandeis将通过RCN提供的租赁光纤连接直接连接到NoX千兆网，RCN还将提供终端交换机和电路监控设备，并管理电路。提案者已经确定了四个需要使用高性能网络连接的研究领域。 这些研究领域的研究人员多年来一直在应对带宽不足的问题。 他们在解决这种情况的方法上具有很强的适应性，但现在是时候用高性能的互联网连接来维持他们的研究了。

The overall goal is to establish a high performance connection to the Abilene advanced Internet facility to support science research. To achieve this connection Brandeis will establish the advanced connection via Northern CrossRoads (NoX) to the Abilene network. Brandeis will link to the NoX gigapop directly through a leased fiber connection provided by RCN, which will also provide the end switches and the circuit monitoring equipment as well as manage the circuit. The proposers have identified four areas of research that require the use of a high performance network connection. The investigators in each of these areas of research have coped with inadequate bandwidth for a number of years. They have been remarkably adaptive in working out ways to deal with this situation, but the time has come to sustain their research with a high performance Internet connection.
