FORTHnet: THE PREMIER COMPUTER NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE OF GREECE
===============================================================

ICS-FORTH, with the assistance of ARTT and the University of Crete, has
installed and operates "FORTHnet", the first, largest, most advanced,
and most central computer network in Greece, which serves and links the
Technology Parks and Institutes of FORTH (Crete, Thessaloniki, Patras)
among themselves through Athens with the rest of Greece, the rest of
Europe, and the rest of the world. The network uses mainly digital and
some analog leased lines, public switching voice and data networks, as
well as privatly owned fiber optic cabling to provide access to
advanced information services.  It is part of the Internet, the
loosely-organized international collaboration of autonomous,
interconnected networks (43.000) reaching 1.700.000 hosts in more than
50 countries (and electronic mail in 127 countries).

                        F O R T H n e t

is a large and complex multiprotocol wide-area network, interconnecting
LAN's all over Greece and linking them to Internet.  All infrastructure
is multivendor technology in both dedicated hardware and software,
fully interoperational, and provides a reliable network service to its
users.  FORTHnet provides dynamic routing procedures for IP (RIP, IGRP,
EGP, BGP) and the full range of internet services from the common
e-mail and file-transfer, to sophisticated information services.  Other
protocols, like DECnet, LAT, and AppleTalk are also routed throughout
the network, providing terminal server connections, AppleShare, and
other facilities.

A gateway to Internet is currently installed in Heraklio Crete.  An
International 64Kbps leased line connects FORTHnet to Ebone Paris.
Locally routers are connecting a dozen 10 Mbps IEEE-802.3 LAN segments,
and a three FDDIs.  Analog and digital leased lines, sometimes of quite
high speeds (128 kbps to 2 Mbps) connect other FORTH's offices all over
the country and UofC campuses in Heraklio, Rethymno, and Chania.  Other
Greek institutions use network connections over public packet switched
data networks (Hellaspack/ Hellascom) or dialup and leased lines in
order to establish TCP/IP links with FORTHnet's routers in POPs in all
operating in all major cities.

In STEP-Crete (Stavrakia campus -- Technology Park), a high-speed
network environment is operational.  It is based on FDDI rings,
interconnected through routers, and digital lines at 2 Mbps.  The main
LAN in Stavrakia is a star-shaped FDDI backbone.  It spans four
buildings, interconnecting more than 15 ethernets, providing fast
network access to hundreds of workstations, and to large multiprocessor
file and computation servers. STEP-Crete buildings are fully monomode
fiber wired ready for the transition to even higher speed backbones and
WAN national and international connections.

Network Operation Centers (NOCs) are organized in every FORTHnet POP
(Point-Of-Presence) with full-time personnel working with the latest
network monitoring and management tools planning and implemmenting the
continuous expantion and evolvement of FORTHnet and ready to handle any
customer request and follow the standard ticketing and problem solving
procedure.

FORTHnet is connected to EARN and operates "GREARN" -- the Greek part
of EARN, which is currently in a migration stage of its connections to
TCP/IP.  The central Greek EARN node responsible for serving all other
Greek EARN hosts is a node of FORTHnet.

Another node of FORTHnet serves as the backbone for EUnet in Greece,
providing UUCP mail and USENET news services.  As the EUnet backbone
for Greece FORTHnet assings IP network numbers at the C-class level.
FORTHnet is also the Internet top level name server for the GR country
level domain, and does the official registration of all second level
domains.

FORTH is also connected to the NRCPS Demokritos, where there is the
operation center of ARIADNE-T part of EUROPAnet.  ARIADNE-T provides
low-speed IP connectivity to most Greek Academic and research
institutions as well as login services to individuals.

FORTHnet's OSI part is based on the ISO connectionless services (CLNS
per ISO-8473), it spans all UofC's and ICS's LANs, and it is connected
to the European CLNS backbone network.  It operates under the umbrella
of a European CLNS project, supported by RARE.  It uses serial (HDLC)
and IXI links to convey CLNS traffic.  It is mostly based on Cisco
multiprotocol routers and uses the same equipment as the European IP
backbone.  Routing of CLNS packets is dynamic, based on Cisco's
proprietary IGRP protocol, while an upgrade to the ISO-10589 standard
is planned.  The ISO compliant addressing scheme is followed, and the
ISO applications that have been installed and are used by the FORTHnet
users include X.400 Mail Handling System, File Transfer Access and
Management (FTAM), Virtual Terminal, and X.500 Directory Services.  ICS
is following closely the developments of the IP network in Europe
(RIPE, Ebone).

Among FORTHnet's plans is to provide LAN performance over it's WAN,
providing at the same time a testbed for experimentation in audio and
video conferencing, two-way video lecturing, and distributed image
databases.  Other plans include the 34 Mbps links for FDDI-to-FDDI
communication, and the metropolitan area prototypes at 100 Mbs to 1
Gbps (Frame Relay, ATM, DQDB), in the framework of our cooperation with
the Greek PTT and International telephone companies.

FORTHnet is organized is in line with the directions of ECFRN on the
structuring of the European  R&D computer networking and falls
somewhere between the national and the site level where FORTH - ICS
today provides all design, development, and management of the largest
integrated multiprotocol network in Greece.  It handles all operation
and services management, does much of the exploitation of the research
project results, as well as building pilot projects and designing the
expansion of the network by connecting new sites, providing new
services, and broadening the links bandwidth.  FORTHnet follows the
international developments (especially those in Europe), and maintains
the best and close relations with all large computer user communities
in Greece (both in academia and companies R&D, and in industry).

If you need more information on any of the above mentioned activities
or you are interested to discuss about our services or any sort of
cooperation with FORTHnet please contact :

ARIADnet

Introduction

ARIADNE is the National Networking program for Academic and Research
networking in Greece. As from mid-1988 the program is administrated by
the National Center for Scientific Research "DEMOKRITOS" in Athens,
being a program of the General Secreteriat for Research and Technology
(GSRT), where it was initially originated. It was in the first quarter
of 1989 that the ARIADnet Network became available and operable and
started to lay an infrastructure dedicated to Universities and main
Research Institutes through Greece.

The ARIADNE program is coordinated by the Greek representatives in
COSINE and RARE in collaboration with the GSRT, with a strategic
objective to establish a widespread harmonised infrastructure where
OSI conformance is envisaged to be of prime importance. Maintaining
continuity of services with existing widespread protocols is also a
main activity and is fully supported.

ARIADnet is active on several international fronts as well as national
ones, as for example projects like X.400 (OSI-Kernel), X.500, and is
also collaborating with and participating in international activities
such as RIPE, EBONE etc to be able to keep up with new technologies
and developments in the networking scene.

Present Status

The ARIADnet network operates and supports currently a private X.25
infrastructure which links via leased lines more than 20 institutions
all over Greece, from the North to the South and from the East to the
West. 15 X.25 switches are now servicing the main sites, while another
10 switches are to be installed until mid-summer 92. This private X.25
(84) network serves, through the respective computer centers the main
Academic and Research Institutions in Greece and allows for off-site
access for the hosts and workstations connected to local area networks
existing within these institutions. The connections are of 9.6 Kbps
speed and the number of connections is continuously growing.

Users with low traffic usage have access to the ARIADnet services
through HELLASPAC, or mainly through the dial-up service available in
ARIADnet. At this moment 5 telephone lines are available and the
service is provided at 9.6 Kbps.  The number of
organisations-subscribers through HELLASPAC is seven (7), while the
number of organisations-Subscribers through the dial-up ARIADnet
service is seventy (70). The total number of end users is estimated to
be around 1000, with a total of 100 organisations being
serviced at this moment, using one of the three possible access ways.
The range of organisations is from large Universities and Research
Centers, to smaller R & D Institutions and Departments of the Public
or the Private Sector which do have some involvement in EEC projects.

ARIADnet is coupled to two other networks, namely, HELLASPAC (The
Public data Network) with two 9.6 Kbps X.25 links, and IXI with one
9.6 Kbps link and one 64 Kbps link soon to be operable. ARIADnet has
also a connection with the EARN National Node of Greece in Heraclion
(CRETE). A connection to RIPE (over IXI) is also available. At the
same time, ARIADnet operates the Greek WEP for the X.400 MHS
International Network. An IP link is also about to be established
between CERN and the ARIADnet NOC. An experimental network based on
routers is currently under installation connecting 8 sites and will be
used to offer high speed Internet IP network services, which are now
offered over X.25. A central router is already installed in
DEMOKRITOS, the Network Operations Center (NOC) for ARIADnet, and will
be soon connected to CERN. The remaining routers, with protocol
translation capabilities will be installed in the main Academic and
Research Institutions of the North, the South, the East and West of
Greece, and the Athens area.

The communication services which are offered include X.400, Triple X,
Internet IP, Decnet over X.25. Help desk facilities are available and
a pilot on-line information service namely PYTHIA is provided
centrally in the NOC. ARIADnet network and Communications services are
becoming increasingly popular and have built a sizeable network
management task in dealing with a wide range of vendor machines and
operating systems besides the management of the services offered. The
operational network management is for the moment done by the Network
Team of the NOC at DEMOKRITOS.

 HELP DESK AND USER-DOCUMENTATION

 The most widely used information service at ARIADNE is the help-desk
 which is accessed by telephone, e-mail and computer dialogs over the
 network.  There are also ad-hoc visits of users at the NOC.


 USER GROUP SUPPORT ACTIVITIES

 A line of work which has produced some good results has been with a
 special group of Chemists.  This has been a "pump priming" exercise by
 just giving the user basic assistance and examples, after which he
 acts as a rapporteur.  This has produced a series of documents, also
 available electronically, including "What the Chemist can find in the
 networks".  This includes software, databases, ftp sites, discussion
 lists, contacts, projects etc.


 SUMMARY OF MAJOR INFORMATION SERVICES ON NETWORK

 Two projects carried out by student assistants, are just being
 completed.  One group "hunts" information and documents it generally,
 the other group developed an information server, userid "pythia", on a
 SUN machine which is fed with the output of the former group.  Certain
 browsing commands are available to the logged in user including a mail
 facility to describe unsolved problems.  The server currently contains
 general information about ARIADNE, other networks, key network terms,
 contacts etc.

 A hardcopy report of the "what we have found" of the first group is to
 be printed and widely distributed, and is also available
 electronically.  A problem that has been dealt with is handling
 information in the Greek character Set (ISO standard).  An emulator is
 available on diskette for users with appropriate table translation so
 as to suit their terminal.  A solution to cover "dumb" terminals has
 also been incorporated by using a Greek Standard which maps Greek
 characters into Latin.

 In general the activity on the NIS at ARIADNE has slowly increased.
 At the end of the year a more detailed, documented report is to be
 made available.
