[edit] Backwards domain names

So what I remember about JANET, circa 1993, is the backwards domainnames you had to use: uk.co.bbc, uk.co.archive. Perhaps it was just the UK ones. But does anyone else remember this. If so is it worth a note on this page? Preferably with a reason - which escapes me - to why this was. --Ooblick 21:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It was so mandated by Coloured Book. I've added a note to this page. The Wednesday Island 17:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to Alvey would be useful

The relation to Alvey especially when intellectual property was concern needs to be detailed. -- enm 23:30 18 Aug 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gigabit Ethernet

When did the JANET backbone abandon ATM and swich to Gigabit Ethernet. -- Petri Krohn 03:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Content fork

Any reason for having JANET and JANET(UK), shouldn't they be merged? ^Khukri 17:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The former is a network, the latter is the organisation running it.--Jotel (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
