vBNS: not your father's Internet
Article Abstract:
The very-high-performance Backbone Network Service (vBNS) is a significant component of current projects by the industry, government and the academic community to introduce the most modern equipment in Internet technologies and academic research applications. The system is intended for academic and research institutions whose scientific works need networking capabilities not viable with commercial network services. At present, the vBNS is run as an IP-over-ATM network, which means that its network layer operates the Internet protocol on top of the asynchronous transfer mode protocol.
