The CTNET has been continuously evolving to cope with the ever-changing
user requirements and to adapt to new technologies and standards. The
current network consists of a single Gigabit Ethernet backbone that
supports multi-layer switching, QoS (quality of service) and IP
Multicasting, thus data, voice and video traffic can be carried
concurrently over the same network. Over 12,000 systems are connected on
the wired part of CTNET as of October 2006.
The wireless part of
CTNET was first debuted in 1997 but has undergone a major upgrade
recently. More than 600 access points have been installed over the
campus to support thousands of wireless devices which are compliant to
the IEEE802.11a/b/g standards. Over 11,500 wireless devices are
registered as of October 2006. |
