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,
