链接连接联结——中国科技网30年发展回顾与展望

Links,Interconnectivity,and Partnerships——30 Years of CSTNET

【目的】自1994年4月专线接入国际互联网,中国内地开启了翻天覆地的互联网时代。历经三十年,中国科学院主导建设的学术性、非营利科研网络——中国科技网(CSTNET),在波澜壮阔的中国互联网发展进程中,扮演着重要角色。为此,本文以中国科技网为案例,通过回顾三十年发展历程,管窥蠡测中国互联网发展史。【方法】依托案例分析方法,本文回溯了中国科技网各个历史时期的关键技术与工程实施,探讨了当前和未来网络创新性探索的建设性方向,并展示了基于中国科技网的典型领域应用示范以及国际化互联互通的建设情况。【结果】展望未来,明确了新一代中国科技基础设施的建设规划,包括发展定位、关键技术迭代方向、一体化建设方案以及面向开放科学的探索实践等。希望上述案例分析,能够对更好地了解中国互联网发展史、探索科教网络基础设施建设有所裨益。

[Objective]Since the international connection to the Internet on April 20,1994,the Internet era commenced in the Chinese mainland.Over the past three decades,the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been at the forefront of establishing the academic and non-profit research network,known as the China Science and Technology Network(CSTNET).CSTNET has played a pivotal role in the construction and development of the Chinese Internet.[Methods]To provide a comprehensive understanding of the development of China’s Internet,this article delves into the 30-year journey of CSTNET,exploring its historical development stages,dissecting key technologies,and highlighting important projects.[Conclusions]The discussions provide constructive directions for current and future network innovation,showcase disciplinary achievements,and envision the future.We hope the review of CSTNET may cast light on the better understanding of the Chinese internet history and is useful for the future development of intelligible cyberinfrastructures in scientific domains.
