Los Nettos _A_d_d_r_e_s_s: Los Nettos c/o Ann Westine USC/Information Sciences Institute 4676 Admiralty Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292 _E-_m_a_i_l: los-nettos-request@ISI.EDU _P_h_o_n_e: (213) 822-1511 [Ann Westine] _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n Los Nettos is a regional network in the Los Angeles area. Important features of Los Nettos are that it is (1) an IP network, and (2) it is ``high speed.'' All connections and links are at least T1 (1.5 Mbps) capacity. A goal of Los Nettos is to provide an environment to develop very interac- tive network applications. Los Nettos is operated by the member organizations, not by DARPA, or NASA, NSF, or DOE, etc. It may be used for any educational or research purpose. The member organizations are universities and research laboratories. The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California (USC) acts as the agent for Los Nettos. Seven organizations are already participating in this net- work (ISI, USC, JPL, CalTech, UCLA, TIS and Rand). A number of other research centers have expressed strong interest in participating. Los Nettos will interoperate with CERFnet and other networks to provide access to special resources (for example, the San Diego Supercomputer Center), or to other regional networks _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide.
