IHEP Introduction Excerpt from "Review and Prospect of IHEP Network Development" By Wu Ling ( wl@bepc2.ihep.ac.cn ) For Institute of High Energy Physics(IHEP), March 2, 1993 is unforgettable date---64K IHEP-SLAC leased line established, which is the first high rate link in China. Since many institutions in China would like to connect with IHEP and share this link. for example, the CCAST (Center of Chinese Advanced Sci. and Tech.), the ISTCI (Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China), and as well as universities in China, etc.. About 300 top- scientists and professors or Ph.Ds are having IHEP computer accounts and be able to access by dial-up phone line with modem to communicate with collaborators in the world. In May, 1994, IHEP finally got the full access to Internet, so that IHEP users can transfer files and connect to any of the Internet nodes instead of just sending E-mail messages, and all the outside users can ftp and telnet to IHEP directly from their internet machines. Our permanent Internet email address is now user@machine.ihep.ac.cn ------------------------- IHEP Computing Center has set up WWW and Gopher server. Now, the bandwidth(64K) is rather low, if we want to expand our link or provide Video conference in the future we need higher bandwidth. Changing our link from satellite to fiber optic. It will connect via KEK, Japan in the future. +----------------------------------------+ > Computing Center, < > Institute of High Energy Physics, IHEP < > Chinese Academy of Sciences < +----------------------------------------+
