Common use of Network Infrastructure Clause in Contracts

Network Infrastructure. All NRC LAN's are connected to headquarters' backbone network. NRC's other IT systems and services are also connected to NRC's backbone network, through a series of inter-connected hubs, routers and switches. Regional wide area network connections and backbone connections use Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) to maintain maximum speed, inter-operability and security as well as provide potential for any-to-any communications. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocols are used at the application level for inter-operability. In addition to its internal private network, NRC uses services from various external sources, such as Internet services and other government agency mainframe timesharing services. NRC coordinates with these services to install connections that would make service accessible to NRC users via standard desktop workstation systems. The preferred mode of access is through existing LAN infrastructure using standard remote LAN protocols or ATM.
