SDSCnet is a network that links academic, industrial, and
government affiliates with the San Diego Supercomputer
Center (SDSC) and, by extension, with NSFNET.
Participating organizations may use the network to login
remotely to SDSC's supercomputer, parallel machines, and
visualization resources; transfer files; send and receive
electronic mail; and connect to other resources on NSFNET.
Some organizations also receive software support. If an
organization's network device(s) support(s) SNMP, the link
is monitored for outages 24 hours/day seven days/week.
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
Connections to SDSCnet are dedicated links primarily at 56
Kbps and T1 speeds using the TCP/IP or DECnet protocols.
(OSI protocols will be added when they become available.)
Links to BITNET are also available for institutions that
wish it and that qualify as members of CREN.
_W_h_o _C_a_n _U_s_e _S_D_S_C_n_e_t
A connection to this network is available to any academic,
industrial, or government organization not otherwise con-
nected to NSFNET that seeks such a connection. The cost
depends on the preferred speed, network device, protocol of
the connection, and the types of services required.
