This is a proposal to connect NSFNET to JANET, its closest                 equivalent in the U.K., via 56,000 bit per second AT&T satellite                service.  The proposed link is not in any sense experimental; it                is intended to operate in full production mode for the exchange                 of routine scholarly traffic between the academic computer                      networks of the U.S. and the U.K.  The only existing link                       supporting the Internet standard TCP/IP protocols is DARPA-MOD                  SATNET which places stringent restrictions on non-defense related               traffic.                                                                             The proposal provides for the U.S. share of the satellite                  link itself and an IP router/gateway to be installed at the John                von Neumann National Supercomputer Center, the U.S. terminus.                   Funds are also included to operate and maintain the gateway and                 associated services such as routing tables and a secondary domain               nameserver.
