013.30 Israel
by Hank Nussbacher <hank%vm.tau.ac.il@taunivm.tau.ac.il>
Israel currently allows only academic institutions and R&D not-for-profit
organizations to connect to the Israeli portion of the Internet called ILAN.
This is a government limitation that we are attempting to change over the next
few months.
In October 1991 our second 64kb IP circuit became operational to CERN in
Switzerland. This link is via a new undersea fiberoptic cable called EMOS which
only became operational in March 1991. Our first 64kb link is via a satellite
circuit to PSI in the USA. The two IP links are terminated at different sites
in Israel so as to provide maximum "disaster recovery" planning.
Between the two international circuits, we move between 10-15Gb of data per
month.
On a national level, we use 64kb leased line circuits routing IP, DECNET and
Appletalk using cisco routers. We have placed a request to upgrade all our
national links to 128kb but due to PTT infrastruture problems, this won't be
accomplished until 2Q92. We use IGRP on a national level for optimal routing
between our seven cisco backbone. On a national level, we move approximately
40Gb per month.
