recording essential information
It is recommended that all organisations maintain a record of information that is essential to running their Janet connection. The Record of Network Information and Contacts form can be used to record information such as IP addresses and domain names. This record will not only be a quick reference source for the member of staff who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site network, but will also provide vital background information for new or temporary staff.

Acceptable use of the network

local AUP
All organisations connected to Janet are subject to the Janet AUP. This permits Janet to be used for any purpose that is legal, that is socially acceptable to the community Janet serves, and that does not cause degradation of the performance of the network beyond that which might reasonably be expected. All use of the network does, of course, have an impact on performance; the intent is to prevent reckless or inconsiderate activities by users at one organisation causing inconvenience to others.

connection process
The connection process is complex and involves many different parties, both internally and externally. The main point of contact during this process is the Connections Management Section. The following paragraphs provide a brief overview of the connection process. Once the formal quotation process has been completed and agreement to proceed is received a contract in the form of a declaration letter will be sent to the organisation wishing to connect, this also contains login details for completing the web-based JCUR.  Guidance is provided throughout the online process.

Routers

routers
Routers are network devices that forward packets of data between different networks. A router between an organisation's LAN and Janet will not have a direct connection to every other router on the Internet. It is however possible to set up that router to forward packets to their destinations by the most efficient path. The router does this by referring to its routing tables, which list all the possible paths that data can take to get from source to destination IP address. Each router on the path repeats this process until the data reaches its final destination.

Obtaining a Janet IP Address Range

Anonymous
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - 16:05
Where a Janet connection is being made it will normally be necessary to acquire an IP network number in the Janet allocated range on behalf of the organisation concerned. Note that it will not be possible to accept connection of an organisation that is using a network number belonging to a commercial IP provider's aggregated range, as it will not be possible to route this from Janet to the rest of the Internet. Therefore it is probable that the organisation concerned will have to renumber its network.
