Connecting to NSFnet

Sangamon州立大学请求NSF支持他们的校园连接到netilinis。netilinois是CICnet区域网络的一部分，是位于伊利诺伊州这一地区的中级网络，将提供运营和网络信息服务。它将使该大学能够以每秒5.6万比特的速度连接到NSFNET，这是一个高速（每秒150 - 4500万比特）的国家骨干网络。该大学需要更强大的功能和网络速度，以便能够访问超级计算机、图书馆、进行文件传输，以及能够实现更可靠的邮件系统。学生和教师的研究将受益于这种联系。这也是学校探索创新教育资源的独特机会。

Sangamon State University requests support from NSF for connection of their campus to netIllinois. NetIllinois is part of the CICnet regional network and is the midlevel network located in this part of the state of Illinois that will give the operations and network information services. It will give the university a 56 thousand bits per second connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The university needs greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the link. This is also a unique opportunity for the school to explore innovative educational resources.
