VBNS

The vBNS (very-high-performance Backbone Network Service) came on line in April 1995 as part of a National Science Foundation sponsored project to provide high-speed interconnection between NSF-Sponsored supercomputing centers and select access points. The network was engineered and operated by MCI Telecommunications under a cooperative agreement with the NSF. By 1998, the vBNS had grown to connect more than 100 universities and research and engineering institutions via 12 national points of presence with DS-3, OC-3 and OC-12 links on an all OC-12 network, a substantial engineering feat for that time. The vBNS installed one of the first ever production OC-48c IP links in February 1999 and went on to upgrade the entire backbone to OC-48.

vBNS (Very High Bandwidth Network Service) è un progetto, attivo dal 1995, di reti a banda larghissima in fibra ottica.Lo studio del vBNS si basa sulla riorganizzazione dei protocolli. In questo ambito sono stati individuati diversi settori di intervento: il primo riguarda la messa a punto della nuova versione del protocollo IP, battezzata “IPv6“ (IP version 6). Il secondo obiettivo per il rinnovamento della rete è indicato dalla sigla “QoS” (Quality of Service). Si tratta di sviluppare una serie di protocolli per gestire in modo dinamico e intelligente la banda passante disponibile.
