SUNET is the Swedish University Computer Network. SUNET provides high-speed
Internet access to academic institutions inSweden . The current incarnation of the network,OptoSunet , provides 40 Gbit/s links between the cities hosting universities. It replaces the older network,GigaSunet , based mainly on 10 Gbit/s links.SUNET is governed by a board appointed by the Swedish research council [http://www.vr.se/ 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 also operates Sweden's largest ftp-archive, mirroring a lot of useful material of 'academic' interest, similar to the UK Mirror Service hosted by the
University of Kent . The archive was upgraded in recent years and is nowadays dimensioned to handle more than 10 000 users at the same time.ee also
