SURA is a consortium of universities which supports, manages, and operates projects too large or complex to be handled by a single university. SURAnet, a TCP/IP network, is one of the NSFNET mid-level networks. Connectivity is provided via a T-1 backbone of co-located equipment housed in MCI points of presence. Future plans include migration to a T-3 backbone. SURAnet is connected to the NSFNET backbone and provides facilities for the FIX-East connections. SURAnet's geographic area includes the District of Columbia and 13 states in the southeastern US: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis- sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. While SURA, the parent organization, is a consortium of academic organizations, SURAnet members comprise approxi- mately two-thirds academic institutions and one-third non- academic sites. _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide.
