Texas Tech University Connectivity to the vBNS

德克萨斯理工大学的提案寻求部分支持DS-3连接到德克萨斯A M大学（TAMU）休斯顿生物科学与技术研究所（IBT）的gigaPoP。建议的应用包括IP多播，点对点和多播，用于促进合作，研讨会和介绍课程材料的重点领域，如生物控制论和生物信息学。其他应用包括模拟人类运动系统，具体应用于解决视觉和人类步态问题;检索实时和存档数据集，用于开发创新的多媒体应用程序，以访问和分析气象数据和精准农业。 vBNS的另一个预期用途是支持密集波分复用（WDM）的有源和无源元件的系统级实验。合作机构包括但不限于：芝加哥大学、圣路易斯华盛顿大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、圣母大学、华盛顿大学、得克萨斯大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、DARPA、弹道导弹防御组织和国家医学图书馆。

The proposal from Texas Tech seeks partial support of a DS-3 connection to the gigaPoP at Texas A&M University's (TAMU) Houston Institute of Biosciences and Technology (IBT). Applications proposed include IP multicasting, both point-to-point and multicast, to be used in facilitating collaboration, seminars and presentation of course materials focused on areas such as biocybernetics and bioinformatics. Other applications include simulations of human movement systems with specific application to solving problems of vision and human gait; retrieval of real-time and archived data sets used in developing innovative multimedia applications for accessing and analyzing meteorological data and precision agriculture. Support of system-level experiments on the active and passive components for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is another intended use of the vBNS. Collaborating institutions include but are not limited to: the University of Chicago, Washington University at St. Louis, Johns Hopkins University, University of Notre Dame, University of Washington, Texas A&M, University of California-Davis, DARPA, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, and the National Library of Medicine.
