The dominant physical layer access protocol in use in LAN environments is Ethernet although some limited use of token ring signaling is in use. Each campus broadband trunk segment supports three 10 Mbps MAP channels. Bridged connection of the trunk MAP channels to building Ethernet segments is provided through Hughes LAN bridges. IP packet routing is provided centrally. Wide area connectivity is provided by PeachNet and the commercial Internet.
Remote access is provided by centrally managed modem pools.
Only asynchronous connectivity is supported through this service. Speeds up to 28.8 kbps are available. A unique feature of this latter service is that local dial service is available state-wide. The website is maintained by David Matthews-Morgan .
