WESTNET Networking Project

WESTNET是几个区域网络之一， 美国的地理区域到NSFNET，国家 科学网。 它将落基山脉的13个校区互连 山区：亚利桑那州立大学、科罗拉多大学 科罗拉多州立大学矿业学院，新墨西哥州矿业学院 新墨西哥州州立大学 亚利桑那大学、科罗拉多大学（博尔德、科罗拉多斯普林斯和 丹佛校区）、丹佛大学、新墨西哥州大学、 怀俄明州大学和犹他州州立大学。 该网络将使用中速线路（56，000位/ 第二）连接怀俄明州大学和 犹他州州立大学，它将使用双路线路（19.2位 每秒）。 网络将升级到T1速度（1.5 百万比特每秒）， 的需求显而易见。 科罗拉多州提供了大量的费用分摊 和新墨西哥州，额外费用分摊将从 其他国家和行业。

WESTNET is one of several regional networks connecting geographical regions of the United States to NSFNET, the national scientific network. It interconnects 13 campuses in the Rocky Mountain region: Arizona State University, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, New Mexico State University, University of Arizona, University of Colorado (Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Denver campuses), University of Denver, University of New Mexico, University of Wyoming, and Utah State University. The network will use moderate speed lines (56,000 bits per second) except for those connecting the University of Wyoming and Utah State University, which will use duoplex lines (19.2 bits per second). The network will be upgraded to T1 speeds (1.5 million bits per second) as the technology becomes available and the need apparent. Significant cost sharing is provided by the states of Colorado and New Mexico, with additional cost sharing to be obtained from the other states and industry.
