SUNET
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SUNET is the Swedish University Computer Network. SUNET provides high-speed Internet access to academic institutions in Sweden. The current incarnation of the network, OptoSunet, provides 40 Gbit/s links between the cities hosting universities. It replaces the older network, GigaSunet, based mainly on 10 Gbit/s links.
SUNET is governed by a board appointed by the Swedish research council Vetenskapsrådet. In addition to the board there is a technical reference group and a development group, as well as people working at the participating universities.
SUNET also operates Sweden's largest ftp-archive, mirroring a lot of useful material of 'academic' interest, similar to the UK Mirror Service hosted by the University of Kent. The archive was upgraded in recent years and is nowadays dimensioned to handle more than 10 000 users at the same time.
