Mr.Huang, Thank you for your letter of Aug.5. Some time ago I received an |
email from you, and I'm sorry I have been unable to answer it sooner. |
Thank you for your paying great attention to the CANET project. Herewith |
I'm encluding the brief introduction to CANET. |
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
CANET , co-initiated by ICA ( Beijing Instutute for Computer Applications |
) and the University of Karlsruhe ( Germany ) began in 1986. Its purpose |
is to integrate chinese academic communities with the worldwide computer |
network, and to promote information exchange and technical cooperation |
with the rest of the world. The initial service provided by CANET is |
international E-mail delivery. The first connection with CSNET was |
actually set up in Sep.1987. |
The central machine located in ICA , Siemens 7,760/ BS2000 running |
PMDF/BS2000 software, was successfully connected with the E-mail systems |
all over the world by means of a relay machine at the Uni- versity of |
Karlsruhe. |
Since then , CANET has been operational and has provided the worldwide |
E-mail service for some academic communities within China. |
In 1990 Oct. , the top level domain ---" CN " for China was registered |
with DDN SRI--NIC by ICA . This is a very important step for the |
development of CANET. |
CANET is a store and forward electronic mail network . Recently,the |
central machine in CANET is a Micro VAXII--cluster system under VMS 4.7 |
running PMDF 3.1/VMS,which acts as an interna- tional gateway linking the |
main domain server located at Uni. Karl- sruhe by x.25 through the |
CHINAPAC (Chinese Packed Switching Network). |
For remote sites, CANET is accessible for any academic communi- ty of |
China through the CHINAPAC ( national x.25 PDN ) or the dial up telephone |
links, at 1200 bps and 2400 bps or 4800 bps (depending on the cost factor |
). End--user's PC or workstations can access to local node machine by |
terminal emulation . CANET adopts RFC--822 formats. |
CHINAPAC , the first national PDN in China , was operational in the end of |
1989 , it is authorized by the goverment and run by the Ministry of Posts |
and Telecommications of China. This network is based on x.25. At persent, |
it is still on the first stage and has 3 node-machines ( Package Switching |
Node ) and 8 package multiplexers which are located at 11 major cities in |
China. It has international link through the satellites. |
All amchines of CANET implement Internet DNS ( domain naming system ) |
syntax. |
The top level domain --- " CN " for China has been operational since |
Jan.1991 . Currently, the international mail delivery usually takes half a |
day . At present , 16 sites have been connected within CANET. It is true |
, many institutions and universities have estab- lished their private |
local network in the compus, most of them are interested in joning |
CANET.But, there are the financial boundaries- ---lack of the funds. If |
the funding is available, CANET will be growing rapidly. |

Frankly speaking,the CANET has not been a part of the Internet yet, |
