SCI/IRNC: Collaborative Research: CIREN: Consortium of International Research and Educational Network

该奖项名为CIREN：国际研究与教育网络联盟，将在美国和亚洲之间提供高性能的研究和教育连接。为了提供跨太平洋连接，CIREN将提供美国西海岸和东京之间的高速线路。该项目将从东京出发，在亚洲国家的大力支持下，构建一条由两条线路组成的亚洲内部主干。第一条线路将连接东京和香港，促进中国的互联互通。第二条链路将连接香港和新加坡（可能是东京和新加坡），并将为南亚提供骨干对等点和连接，以及为印度提供潜在的连接点。James G Williams首席研究员奖：SCI - 0441096

This award, called CIREN: Consortium of International Research and Education Network will provide high performance research and education connectivity between the US and Asia. To provide cross-Pacific connectivity, the CIREN will provision a high-speed circuit between the US west coast and Tokyo. From Tokyo, the Project, with significant contributions from Asia, will construct an intra-Asia backbone consisting of two links. This first link will be between Tokyo and Hong Kong, facilitating Chinese connectivity. The second link will be between Hong Kong and Singapore (possibly Tokyo and Singapore), and will provide a backbone peering point and connectivity for South Asia as well as a potential connection point for India.
