The TransPAC network was successfully upgraded to 73Mbps bandwidth on Sunday March 14. Applications have been received for both positions. Routing was established for the Taejon and Seoul campuses of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Report of the workshop will be posted to the TransPAC web pages in the coming month. A new study of the TransPAC network performance is being undertaken now that the bandwidth has been upgraded.
Current activities center on establishing a consistent, reliable and accurate testing environment.
The Surveyor performs one-way delay and packet loss measurements among a community of Surveyor machines. Installation will begin in April. On March 9 a request for assistance of network engineers was made to help determine the reason for apparent network performance problems which affected the quality of the digital video component. This event is significant in that it represents excellent global collaborative network engineering support for international research. A number of very successful research demonstrations utilizing the TransPAC network were conducted at the Global Observation Information Network 1999 conference.
