What is The Kiewit network: a large AppleTalk internetwork about?
Dartmouth College's Kiewit Network connects nearly all of the computing resources on the campus: mainframes, minicomputers, personal computers, terminals, printers, and file servers. It is a large internetwork, based on the AppleTalk protocols. There are currently over 2900 AppleTalk outlets in 44 zones on campus. Over 90 minicomputers act as bridges between 177 AppleTalk twisted pair busses. This paper describes the extent and facilities of the current network; the extensions made to the AppleTalk protocols, including a stream protocol and an asynchronous link protocol; and current development projects, including an AppleTalk stream to TCP converter. The Kiewit Network is a general purpose local data network. It serves as glue between all the host computers and nearly all the personal computers and terminals on campus. The network extends to the academic and administrative buildings, and the student residence halls, with network ports placed in almost all the offices and rooms. From these ports, users may access any of the host computers connected to the network. In addition, the hosts use network connections to communicate between themselves for electronic mail, file transfer, pr
