BITNET
BITNET was a cooperative U.S. university network founded in
1981 under the aegis of Ira Fuchs at the
City University of New York (CUNY) and Greydon Freeman at
Yale University. The first network link was between CUNY and Yale. The requirements for a college or university to join BITNET were simple:
Lease a data circuit (
phone line) from your site to an existing BITNET
node.Buy
modems for each end of the data circuit, sending one to the connecting point site.Allow other institutions to connect to your site.From a technical point of view, BITNET differed from the
Internet in that it was a
point-to-point "
store and forward" network. That is,
e-mail messages and files were transmitted in their entirety from one server to the next until reaching their destination. From this perspective, BITNET was more like
Usenet.

.bitnet was a
pseudo-domain-style suffix used in the late
1980s when identifying a hostname not connected directly to the
Internet but possibly reachable through inter-network gateways. In this case, it indicated that the hostname preceding it was reachable via the
BITNET network. This was one of several apparent "top-level domains" that were not actually in the Internet root, but were sometimes used in addresses during the time when non-Internet networks remained in wide use. Of these,
.arpa was the only one ever actually added to the Internet root, where it continues to exist in a redesignated purpose of "Address and Routing Parameter Area".

.bitnet était un suffixe de pseudo-domaine-modèle utilisé vers la fin des années 1980 en identifiant un hostname non relié directement à l'Internet mais probablement aux passages traversants accessibles d'interréseau. Dans ce cas-ci, il a indiqué que le hostname précédant était accessible par l'intermédiaire du réseau de Bitnet. C'était l'un des plusieurs domaines "apparent de" top-niveau ; ce n'étaient pas réellement dans la racine d'Internet, mais ont été parfois employés dans les adresses pendant le moment où les réseaux d'non-Internet sont demeurés dans l'utilisation large. De ces derniers, l'arpa était le seul toujours réellement supplémentaire à la racine d'Internet, où il continue à exister dans a redesignated le but des "Address et du paramètre Area" de cheminement ;.
