Abstract
The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), which is
based at the University of Oregon, was established in 1992
to provide technical assistance to organizations setting
up computer networks for connecting scientists in
new areas around the world. The NSRC helps
develop Internet infrastructure and network
operations communities by working directly
with the indigenous network engineers
and operators throughout Africa, the
Asia-Pacific region, Latin America-
Caribbean, and the Middle East, in
partnership with network operator
groups, universities, industry, and
government agencies. NSRC
is funded primarily by the U.S.
National Science Foundation
and Google, with additional
contributions from dozens
of public and private
organizations.
