TCP/IP suite. All the users connected to those computers and networks are able to have the full functions of an interoperable networking capability. And therefore the ability of the users to share resources and results will increase.
User Services
In order that scientists can effectively use the network, there needs to be a user support organization. To maximize the cost effectiveness of the overall IRI, the local user support personnel must be used effectively. In particular, it is anticipated that direct support of users/researchers would be provided by local support personnel. The IRI user support organization would provide support to those local support personnel in areas where nationwide common service is cost effective.
In particular, the this organization has several functions: assist the local support personnel in the installation of facilities compatible with the IRI, provide references to standard facilities (e.g. networking interfaces, mail software) to the local support personnel, answer questions that local personnel are not able to answer, aid in the provision of specific user community services, e.g. database of relevance to specific scientific domain.
Internet Research Coordination
To evolve internet to satisfy new scientific requirements and make use of new technology, research is required in several areas. These include high speed networking, type of service routing, new end to end protocols, and congestion control. The IRI organizational structure can assist in identifying areas of research where the various agencies have a common interest in supporting in order to evolve the network, and then assist in the coordination of that research.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
A management approach is required that will allow each agency to retain control of its own networking assets while sharing certain
