Interagency ATM Connection at the San Diego Supercomputer Center

高性能计算与通信 该倡议包括四个组成部分，其中之一是国家 研究和教育网络（NREN）。 NREN倡议提供了 由联邦机构赞助的研究， 网络技术。 美国国家科学基金会 资助的研究，允许NSFNET骨干服务提供在 每秒4500万比特 能源部（DOE） 为高速蜂窝交换的研究提供资金 架构，并与美国宇航局正在部署一个基于ATM的 连接美国能源部和美国宇航局网站以及学术界和工业界的网络 由两个机构资助的研究人员。 该奖项资助了一个链接 在NSFNET和新的能源部/NASA互联网之间。 该奖项 在连接时启用对分组交换NSFNET的评估 信元交换ATM网络，以及考虑ATM 路由和寻址、管理工具以及性能分析。

The High-Performance Computing and Communications initiativeincludes four components, one of which is the National Research and Education Network (NREN). The NREN initative provides for research sponsored by Federal agencies on a variety of networking technologies. The National Science Foundation has funded research allowing NSFNET backbone services to be provided at 45 million bits per second. The Department of Energy (DOE) is funding investigations into high-speed cell-switching architectures, and inconjunction with NASA is fielding an ATM-based network to connect DOE and NASA sites and academic and industry researchers funded by the two agencies. This award funds a link between the NSFNET and the new DOE/NASA internet. The award enables the evaluation of the packet-switched NSFNET as it connects to the cell-switched ATM network, as well as consideration of ATM routing and addressing,management tools, and performance analysis.
