"Unimpeded" Leads to Far-reaching: CERNET Builds a High-speed Access to Academic Resources
To ensure that university teachers and students enjoy low-latency, high-stability network services, CERNET has implemented multiple measures in coordination, striving to build a three-dimensional matrix of CERNET academic resource support services: through direct dedicated lines with international academic networks such as Internet2 (American academic network), GÉANT (Pan-European academic network), and APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network), it provides dedicated bandwidth for cross-border resource access; on the international export side of the backbone network, it dynamically schedules optimal routes to ensure smooth access to international resources; in cooperation with resource service providers such as "CNKI", it locally deploys resource mirrors to shorten the resource access path.
In addition, to further improve the response speed, stability, and loading smoothness of various academic resources, the CERNET Network Operation Center has deployed dedicated equipment in 41 core nodes nationwide. Relying on rich backbone network operation experience, it uses methods such as path tracking, traffic and performance monitoring, and end-to-end quality monitoring to achieve real-time diagnosis and optimization of issues such as domain name and NAT address pool restrictions. These services have been transformed into CERNET exclusive guarantees, silently guarding the entire process of academic resource access in universities.
At the same time, leveraging its technical advantages, CERNET has also strengthened the construction of service visualization interfaces. On one hand, through the academic resource performance perception platform, it continuously monitors internationally renowned database resources such as Gale, ScienceDirect, and IEEE by simulating users around key indicators such as stability, delay, first-screen loading time, and download speed, making network access performance visual and university users' "experience" digital, providing data support for network environment optimization and backbone network operation work.
On the other hand, by integrating domestic and international academic databases, university endogenous resources, direct ISP resources, AI tools, etc., it has built the "10ms Education and Research Network Special Resource Platform". Through three major functional modules - IPv6 support monitoring, performance monitoring, and popularity analysis - it intuitively presents resource access quality and usage trends, moving exclusive guarantee services from the technical background to the user foreground, truly making service quality perceptible and verifiable.
"High-speed networks" enable the unbounded flow of knowledge, and "exclusive guarantees" escort the intelligent sharing of academics. CERNET always insists on empowering the academic ecosystem with technological innovation. It is hoped that more universities will join in the future, expanding the resource matrix, sharing innovations collaboratively, and building an academic thoroughfare with CERNET to empower the in-depth development of educational digitalization.
