- At the
suggestion of Antonio Blasco Bonito, Laura Abba and Marco Sommani, CNR-CNUCE,
in collaboration with the Pisa Research Consortium, organized in 1991 a
training course on TCP/IP.
- The course
was the result of a long process of research by CNUCE with many international
contacts.
- At the
end of 1987 Bonito, Sommani and Abba had visited Cornell University. During
this mission much important information was acquired, acting on which Bonito
then contacted CISCO to import the first router to Italy.
- In 1988
when the constraints formerly imposed by the US Department of Defence no
longer applied and with IP routers available on the market, gateways came
to Italy, where the first three Cisco routers made a triangular connection
between CNUCE [Blasco Bonito, Marco Sommani], Turin Polytechnic [Silvano.
Gai] and DIST in Genova [Joy Marino].
- The course
was from 30 September to 3 October, hosted by the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
in Pisa.
- At the
time the physical structures at GARR were used for four different communications
architectures: SNA, DECNET, X.25 and TCP/IP, but adoption of the new architecture
TCP/IP was already seen as the principal instrument for provision of services.
- GARR supported
this training initiative because knowledge of the potential and procedures
for installation and maintenance of a network based on TCP/IP protocols
was becoming fundamental for connection of a new organization to the GARR
network.
- The instructors
were CNUCE personnel working on research networks projects in Italy: Laura
Abba, Antonio Blasco Bonito, Domenico Canino, Francesco Gennai, Marco Sommani,
Giuseppe Romano and Daniele Vannozzi.
- During
the course participants were given articles and reports on the principal
topics and a "diskette" containing a useful and fun tool for
a first "Internet tour".
