National Science Foundation Network

NSFnet

(National Science Foundation NETwork) The network funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, which linked five supercomputer sites across the country in the mid-1980s. Universities were also allowed to connect to it. In 1988, it was upgraded from its original 56 Kbps lines to T1 circuits. By the early 1990s, NSFnet was using a T3 backbone and served as the primary Internet backbone until 1995, when the Net became commercialized. See ARPAnet.

For example, traffic originating on one campus network would have to connect to the regional network with which it was associated, which handed off the traffic to the NSFNET backbone, which in turn handed it off to the regional network that served the destination campus network.
