ULSNET (Ultra Low-Speed Networking) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. ULSNET is a low-speed, low-efficiency networking system proposed by Vincent Cerf in 1991. According to RFC 1217 (Memo from the Consortium for Slow Commotion Research, April 1991), the military places a high premium on ultrarobust systems capable of supporting communication in extremely hostile environments. A major contributing factor in the survivability of systems is a high degree of redundancy. The network defined in this RFC 1217 is an amusing spoof. See "Internet Entertainment" for more spoofs.
