SUNET
SUNET is the Swedish University Computer Network. SUNET provides high-speed Internet access to academic institutions in
Gbit/s links. SUNET's upstream network is the Nordic NORDUnet. SUNET is governed by a board appointed by the Swedish Research Council
(Vetenskapsrådet). In addition to the board there is a technical reference group and a development group, as well as people working at the participating universities.
SUNET did operate one of Sweden's largest FTP archives, mirroring extensive useful material of 'academic' interest, similar to the UK Mirror Service hosted by the
Umeå university. Before the service was down sized and domain was handed over to ACC, the service could handle more than 10,000 concurrent users
.
SUNET, together with
TeliaSonera, took part in a 40 Gbit/s transmission on a single wavelength between Luleå, Sweden and New York City using TAT-14.[1][2]
