JVNC Regional Network Phase II

JvNCnet成立于1986年5月，目前使用近似星型拓扑为23个机构提供高带宽通信和网络服务。该提案要求继续支持JvNCnet，以便利用网络技术的最新进展，这为重新设计拓扑和设备提供了独特的机会。这种支持将帮助JvNCnet实现更高的整体性能、改进的管理、额外的增长，以及大大降低每个网络连接的成本。这项新技术将允许JvNCnet由“骨干”和“本地链接”组成。主干网将以每秒150万比特（T-1速度）的速度运行，并将通过宾夕法尼亚州阿尔图纳电话公司办公室的一系列链路从宾夕法尼亚州延伸到罗德岛州；费城 , PA;特伦顿,新泽西州;新泽西纽瓦克;纽约，纽约州，斯坦福德，康涅狄格州；波士顿 , 马;以及罗德岛的普罗维登斯。该提案的一个独特之处在于将路由器和通信设备安置在长途运营商的中心办公室。主干网和本地链路拓扑结构允许该区域网络在宾夕法尼亚州东部、新泽西州和新英格兰地区有组织地增长。新的和旧的机构可以连接到最近的运营商本地办事处的网络。对用户的整体服务是本地链路和骨干网带宽的函数，可以根据需要升级

Established in May 1986, the present JvNCnet provides high bandwidth communications and network services to 23 institutions using an approximate star topology. This proposal requests continuing support for the JvNCnet in order to take advantage of recent advances in networking technology which provide a unique opportunity for a redesign of both the topolgy and equipment. This support will help the JvNCnet achieve higher overall performance, improved management, additional growth, and substantially lower cost per network connection. This new technolgy will allow the JvNCnet to consist of a "backbone" and "local links." The backbone will operate at 1.5 million bits per second (T-1 speed), and will extend from Pennsylvania to Rhode Island through a series of links extending through telephone company offices in Altoona, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Trenton, NJ; Newark, NJ; New York, NY, Stamford, CT; Boston, MA; and Providence, RI. A unique feature of the proposal is the colocation of routers and communications equipment in the central offices of the long distance carrier. The backbone and local link topolgy permits organized growth of this regional network in the area of eastern Pennsylvania, the State of New Jersey, and the New England States. New and old institutions may be connected to the network at the nearest local office of the carrier. Overall service to users is a function of the bandwidth of the local link and the backbone which may be upgraded as required.***//
