History

In mid 1980, The Ministry of Education introduce BITNET university teaching and research network system, providing research network with international e-mail and files transfer services. In late 1980, Ministry of Education Science and Technology Advisory Office (Renamed to Advisory Office in 1990)Director Chang Jin-fu provision is made and commissioned by the Science and Technology Advisory Wen-Tsuen Chen to subsidy mainly the National Universities to build a universities network. July 1990, Ministry of Education computer center invite those universities to set up a "Taiwan Academic Network (TANet)" using TCP/IP protocol of Internet-based system. It was Taiwan's first Internet system, but also basis of the internet system of Taiwan further development of government and commercial Internet. Since 1999, Ministry of Education to promote primary and secondary schools to use ADSL connections to TANet, make IT education down roots, so far TANet has become the platform of network and information for all levels of school education. [2]

The early TANet connecting Taiwan academic institutions and research institutions are using telephone connection, bandwidth was 9.6 kbit/s. On 3 December 1991, a 64 kbit/s data connection to JvNCnet in Princeton University, United States was made. It was Taiwan's first international network connection. [3] [4] In early 1994, a T1 connection is connected to Hinet, become Taiwan's first peering Internet connection. In June 1994, a 10 Mbit/s Ethernet connection to SEEDNet, Taiwan start to connect to multi-network network connection. After years of expansion of TANet, TANet Network Structure can be divided in National Backbone Network, Area-based Network and School-Based Network, TANet National Backbone Network was upgraded to 10 Gigabit Ethernet in 2005. As of April 2008, connection to the United States was STM16 (2488.32 Mbit/s), connection to Taiwan other networks bandwidth was 102.718 Gbit/s.[ citation needed ]
