SUBJECT:   SprintLink Service Quote 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tom,

Per our discussion last week, I am sending you the following formal quote for 
obtaining connectivity to SprintLink Public Data Internet.  The following 
description provides you with an overview of Sprint's TCP/IP service 
offerings.  I have included, in section 8.0, a description of special NREN 
promotional SprintLink pricing structure.

You indicated that you wanted to provide/coordinate your own local access to 
Sprint's POP.  I have included a quote for the applicable charges for such 
arrangement.  (Basically, there are charges for connecting any circuit to 
Sprint's POP.  I'm not sure what price the telco is giving you for a circuit 
to our POP at 185 Berry Street, but it may be more cost effective for Sprint 
to order and provide the local loop to your location.  I have provided a 
local access quote based on connecting to a location in the 415-243 NPA/NXX 
area.  If your terminating address is not within this calling exchange area, 
let me know and I'll verify the quote.)  


I will fax you an Order for Data Communication Service.  Call me and I'll 
walk you through the procedure.

NOTE:  THE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS PROPOSAL IS SENSITIVE (ESPECIALLY THE 
PRICING INFORMATION) AND SHOULD NOT BE REDISTRIBUTED OR DISCLOSED TO OTHERS 
(EXCEPT FOR THOSE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE DECISION 
MAKING PROCESS) WITHOUT EXPRESSED PERMISSION FROM SPRINT.


                    PROPOSAL FOR SPRINTLINK SERVICE


1.0     SPRINTLINK DESCRIPTION

The SprintLink Public Data Internet provides users and peer networks 
throughout the world a variety of services.  For users, SprintLink provides 
access to the global Internet.  For peer networks, SprintLink provides 
transit to other peer networks and access to SprintLink customers.  A user is 
defined as a firm, institution or individual.  A peer network is a network 
which provides public service to users. Examples of peer networks include 
Alternet, ANS, Morenet (Missouri), and WESTnet.

The interconnection topology and procedures of the thousands of networks that 
comprise the Internet throughout the world is very complex and unfortunately 
impacts all users.  SprintLink shields the user from much of the complexity.

The following briefly describes Sprint's Internet infrastructure.  An 
understanding of Sprint's Internet services architecture and how it relates 
to the balance of the Internet is useful and will facilitate relations 
between Sprint and the customer.

Sprint operates four Internet networks:  International Connections Manager 
network (ICMnet)-Atlantic, ICMnet-Pacific, ICMnet-Moscow and SprintLink.  The 
ICMnets provide international routing services under a cooperative agreement 
with the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for US Research and Education 
(R&E) and Government international connectivity, several commercial US 
Internet service providers and likewise for several foreign national 
networks.  SprintLink provides both domestic and international routing 
services.  The combination of these four networks yields an infrastructure 
that has become the routing "core" of the global Internet.  The following 
describes each Sprint network:


1)  ICMnet-Atlantic

ICMnet-Atlantic, Internet Autonomous System Number (ASN) 1800, currently 
provides routing service between the US Internet and the European Backbone 
(EBONE).  There are four interconnection points in Europe; UK, France, 
Germany and Sweden.  ICMnet-Atlantic also interconnects with national 
networks in South Africa, Kuwait, Turkey, Costa Rica and Ecuador.  It also 
interconnects with ICMnet-Moscow which in turn connects to the embyonic 
Russia Internet.  The United Arab Emirates as well as Peru and several other 
national networks in Latin America will be connected in 1993.

ICMnet-Atlantic connects to NSFNET and to other Federal Networks, e.g., NASA 
Science Internet, Energy Sciences Network, MILnet, etc. at the Federal 
Internet eXchange-East (FIX-East) in College Park, MD.  ICMnet-Atlantic is 
also connected to the Washington DC Metropolitan Area Ethernet (MAE-East) 
where it connects with Alternet, PSInet and SURAnet over a 10 mbps ethernet 
provided by Metropolitan Fiber Systems (MFS).  ICMnet-Atlantic routing to 
Europe is coordinated with the European Backbone (EBONE) which is a 
cooperative effort among several European national networks.   ICMnet-
Atlantic obtains trans Atlantic back-up from Alternet/EUnet and ANS/EASInet.

ICMnet-Atlantic interconnects with the SprintLink Public Data Internet in 
Washington, DC.


2)  ICMnet-Pacific

ICMnet-Pacific, Internet ASN 1240, currently provides routing service between 
the US Internet and National Center for Science Information System (NACSIS) 
in Japan.   We plan to establish connections to China, Indonesia, Philippines 
and other Japanese networks in 1993.  ICMnet-Pacific connects to NSFNET and 
to the other Federal Networks at the FIX-West at NASA Ames in California.  
Most nations in Pacific Rim are available via this path into PACCOM (Korea, 
Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and New Zealand).  ICMnet-Pacific also 
interconnects with SprintLink.


3)  ICMnet-Moscow

ICMnet Moscow, Internet ASN 1803, provides direct access to the US Internet.  
It was established in June 1993.


4)  SprintLink

SprintLink, Internet ASN 1239, is Sprint's commercial Public Data Internet.  
SprintLink connects to both ICM-Atlantic and ICM-Pacific, the Commercial 
Internet eXchange (CIX) in Santa Clara, CA and the Metropolitan Area Ethernet 
East (MAE-East) in Washington, DC.  At the CIX, routes are exchanged with 
Alternet, PSInet, CERFnet, ANSnet (MCI/IBM), BARRnet, NEARnet, JvNCnet, 
WESTnet, NordFrame (Finland), EUnet (Europe) and UK PIPEX.   At MAE-East 
SprintLink interconnects with Alternet, PSInet, SURAnet and ANSnet.  
SprintLink also interconnects with several Regional and State peer networks.

SprintLink is a full mesh network of T1s connecting the backbone's 4 node 
sites.  Some links have multiple T1s and there is one DS3 (45 mbps) link.  
Backbone capacity (link and router) is continuously monitored and capacity is 
added when necessary.  

SprintLink provides Network News and Network Information Service Center 
(NISC) facilities.  SprintLink provides primary Domain Name Service (DNS) for 
customers purchasing this service.  SprintLink provides secondary DNS for all 
SprintLink customers.

Nationwide dial-up service deployment is underway for specific customers.  
Full scale dial-up product availability is planned for 1Q94.

SprintLink is directly connected to networks in Canada, Malaysia, Japan, 
India, and the UK (bypassing the ICMnets) and provides them international 
routing services.  Foreign networks connect to SprintLink if they do not wish 
their USA transit to be provided by the NSFNET.  Negotiations are under way 
with numerous (foreign) network service providers for routing connectivity 
via SprintLink.  In addition, a SprintLink connection to Mexico is planned 
for implementation in September 1993.  this link is engineered to provide 
routing connectivity to ICMnet-Atlantic.

SprintLink and ICMnet routers are collocated at Sprint Technical Office 
Centers (TOCs) where they receive local support from Sprint technicians as 
well as power and access to Sprint transport facilities, i.e., private line, 
frame relay and X.25.  The TOCs housing SprintLink/ICMnet routers are 
Washington, DC, Stockton, CA, Chicago, IL and Fort Worth, TX.  ICMnet routers 
are also located at the FIXes and several overseas.  

The routers in the TOCs are interconnected by FDDI concentrators thus 
providing 100 mbps intra TOC connectivity.  


2.0     FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION

SprintLink provides services to both "non peering" customers and "peering" 
customers.  The non-peering, i.e., direct, customers are managed as part of 
SprintLink's Autonomous System (AS).  Peering customers have their own 
autonomous systems and exchange routes, i.e., peers, with the SprintLink AS.

2.1     NON PEERING CUSTOMERS

Sprint must have a point-of-presence, i.e., CPE router, on the customer site 
to control access to the backbone.  The router may be either provided by 
Sprint or by the customer.  If provided by the customer, Sprint must have 
complete control of the router.  The customer has no write access in the 
router.

Sprint is not responsible for systems or processes behind the CPE router, 
e.g., host (routed, sendmail), routers, LANs, etc.

Sprint will provide secondary DNS.

Sprint will install a static route on the CPE router pointing towards
SprintLink.

Non Peering customers cannot resell service.  Customers who desire reselling 
service must become a peering customer and use the BGP-3 protocol.

Sprint will not trouble shoot mail problems or reachability problems if it is 
possible to reach the desired host from the CPE router when we are not 
providing primary DNS.

Sprint does not provide primary DNS unless special arrangements are made.  If 
Sprint is providing primary DNS the customer must never switch primary name 
servers for its domain from Sprint to another server without first consulting 
Sprint and the new provider of DNS.  Tables must be updated on both primary 
servers before the switch is made with the InterNIC otherwise duplicate data, 
incorrect data, or obsolete data will be advertised out to the Internet by 
the old and/or new nameserver.  Also, the customer must not point name 
service for a domain to a name server that does not have any data for the 
domain.  DNS changes must be sent to dns-admin@icm1.icp.net.

Customers requiring access to networks reachable only via the NSFNET must 
request advertisement of their networks by Sprint as described in section 3.2.

In all cases the DSU must be either Sprint-provided or Sprint certified.


2.2     PEERING CUSTOMERS

Resellers must peer with SprintLink.

Peering customers must use the BGP-3 protocol.

Sprint will not provide primary DNS for peering customers.

Sprint will provide secondary DNS for peering customers.

Customers of peering networks requiring access to networks reachable only via 
the NSFNET must request advertisement of their networks by Sprint as 
described in section 3.2.  Sprint will accept requests only from the peering 
network, not the customer of the peering network. In all cases the peering 
customer's DSU must be either Sprint-provided or Sprint certified.


2.3     MULTICAST BACKBONE SERVICE

Sprint currently does not offer access to the Internet multicast backbone.  
Service is planned for deployment in 1994.


2.4     STATISTICS

Sprint collects statistics and provides monthly reports to customers 
subscribing to the Report Service.  Link availability, utilization and errors 
are reported.  The report is stored in an FTP server named SL-
STATS.SPRINTLINK.NET.


3.0     ADMINISTRATION

For the customer to receive a useful service there are several administrative 
functions that must be coordinated between the customer and Sprint:  ordering 
service, routing changes and DNS changes.


3.1  Ordering Service

Your Sprint Account Team will work with you to complete a SprintLink Order 
For Data Communications Service (OFDCS) and a Customer Internet Information 
Form.  One OFDCS is required per customer site.  The OFDCS is used for 
recording high-level customer information such as the customer's name and 
billing address as well as a general description of the service being 
ordered.  The Customer Internet Information Form solicits parameters and 
information pertaining to the customer's internet environment that the 
SprintLink network must accommodate in order to provide a useful Internet 
access service.


3.2     Routing Changes

Routing changes, i.e., a new customer network, must be submitted using the 
Network Announcement Change Request (NACR) template.  Sprint's service 
implementation team will work with each customer to explain how to complete 
this form.  Routing changes should be sent via e-mail to nacr-admin.icp.net.


3.3     DNS Changes

DNS changes, i.e., a new network name, must be submitted to 
dns-admin.icp.net.  Sprint's service implementation team will work with each 
customer to explain how to submit such changes.


4.0     INTERVALS

New domestic orders will be implemented in 60 days.  Non domestic orders will 
be implemented in 90 days subject to cooperation from the foreign PTT.

5.0     NSFNET-RELATED ISSUES

The NSFNET provides transit routing services to Regional networks including 
BARRnet, CERFnet, CICnet, JvNCnet, MIDnet, NEARnet, NorthWestNet, Nysernet, 
PREPnet, SESQUInet, SURAnet and WESTnet.  NSFNET also interconnects with 
ICMnet-Atlantic (Sprint), ICMnet-Pacific (Sprint), Alternet, CA*net (Canada) 
and Monterey Technet (Mexico).  NSFNET will only allow traffic meeting the 
NSFNET Appropriate Use Policy (AUP) described in Appendix A.  As discussed 
earlier, several of these regionals connect to the Commercial Internet 
eXchange (CIX).  For those that do connect to the CIX there are of course no 
restrictions on the type of traffic that can be transmitted and received.  
Regionals that exclusively connect to the NSFNET backbone can only send and 
receive traffic that meets the NSFNET AUP.  If the SprintLink customer meets 
the AUP then SprintLink will announce the customer's network(s) to the 
ICMnets for transit to the NSFNET.  For Sprint to do so,  the customer must 
adhere to the instructions and procedures specified in Network Announcement 
Change Request (NACR).

It should be noted that in mid 1994 the NSFNET will no longer exist.  It will 
be decommissioned and Regional networks must obtain Internet access from 
commercial service providers such as Sprint.  Sprint is aggressively seeking 
direct interconnection with both Regional and State networks (bypassing the 
Regional) to assure the best connectivity to all components of the US 
Internet. Regardless of how successful Sprint is in connecting directly with 
State and Regional networks, we will always have a connectivity path 
available for SprintLink customers through SprintLink's interconnection with 
the CIX, MAE-East and NSF-planned Network Access Points (NSF-sponsored 
interconnection points where Regional, national, commercial, Federal and  R&E 
networks can freely interconnect.


6.0     REGISTRATIONS

The Internet is by far the most complex and useful data communications system 
in the world.  It's success is due to its decentralized nature.  However, 
there are several coordinating functions that must be adhered to.  As such, 
the US Government funds the InterNIC which coordinates Internet address and 
name space management as well as maintain Internet data.

The following describes several registration actions that may have to be 
taken for the customer's network to be interoperable with SprintLink and the 
Internet.


6.1  IP ADDRESS

Appendix B, INTERNET NUMBER TEMPLATE describes the process for obtaining an 
Internet address.  When Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) begins in the 
late Fall of 1993, SprintLink will begin assigning customers IP addresses in 
accordance with Internet Activities Board guidance.  It is anticipated that 
customers will have IP address "portability".


6.2  DOMAINS

Appendix C, Internet Domain Registration, describes the process for obtaining 
an Internet domain.

6.3  AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM NUMBER

Appendix D, Autonomous System Number Registration, describes the process for 
obtaining an Internet Autonomous System Number (ASN).  An ASN is only 
necessary when the customer wishes to "peer" with SprintLink.

6.4  IN-ADDR.ARPA

Appendix E, IN-ADDR.ARPA Registration, describes the process for the customer 
to register "reverse" name service, i.e., mapping IP Addresses to names.

6.5  WHOIS 

The INTERNIC maintains a WHOIS database that is accessible through the 
Internet. It includes information on virtually every element of the global 
Internet Infrastructure.  A key element of WHOIS is the identification of 
individuals who are key in operating components of the Internet.  Appendix F, 
INTERNIC WHOIS REGISTRATION, describes the process for registering key 
individuals in the WHOIS database.  The INTERNIC WHOIS database can be 
reached via telnet to RS.INTERNIC.NET.


7.0  TROUBLE MANAGEMENT

7.1  Trouble Management Overview

Sprint operates a Customer Service Center (CSC) to resolve network service 
difficulties.  If customers have trouble with their network service they 
should call the CSC (800-726-0201).  The CSC operator will record the nature 
of the problem and open a trouble ticket which is routed to the Sprint 
Integrated Network Management Center (INMC).

The INMC monitors and manages Sprint's public and private internet networks 
as well as many other network management centers associated with Sprint's 
other services and other private network including FTS-2000.  The INMC is 
operated on a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week basis.

The INMC operates a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based  
management system which provides real time, graphics oriented network  
management of routers and communications links associated with Sprint's 
Internet services.  This platform  provides powerful tools for remote problem 
diagnostics and configuration management.  The INMC will react proactively to 
fault conditions detected and begin corrective action prior to receipt of 
user trouble reports.  This management system will be used for initial 
screening of all Customer trouble reports.

The INMC has access to Sprint's Network management and information systems to  
assist in problem diagnostic coordination. Tools include extended superframe  
(ESF) monitoring, digital cross-connect alarms, and monitoring/test access to  
Sprint provided intelligent channel banks. 

Sprint's customer service and network management groups retain full 
management ownership of and responsibility for solving problems, and is 
accountable to customers for timely status and problem resolution.  

For suspected problems with U.S. domestic private line circuits, the INMC 
will refer the ticket to Sprint's Private Line Service Center (PLSC) in 
Atlanta, Ga. for both remote circuit testing , Sprint Network technician 
dispatch, and local exchange carrier (LEC) testing of the access circuits 
involved. The PLSC has installation and maintenance responsibility for all 
Sprint U.S. private lines.  Problems suspected on international private line 
facilities are referred to the IPLSC for trouble diagnostics, isolation, and 
resolution.


Once a trouble ticket has been opened, an e-mail message is sent by the INMC 
to the customer contact mailing list.

Peer transit networks should call directly into the INMC:

Tel:    800-669-8302
        703-904-2288

Fax:    703-904-2262

Troubles may be reported by e-mail to inmc@icm1.icp.net.  


7.2  ESCALATION

The following escalation guidelines apply for SprintLink related problems:

ELAPSED TIME:    ACTION

Begin:
Customer calls Sprint's CSC (800-726-0201) and reports a problem related to 
"SprintLink Service".  The customer will be asked to provide specific 
information needed to open a trouble ticket, such as an account number or 
private number for Clearline customers, or network address for Frame Relay 
and X.25 customers.  This information is provided to each customer when the 
service is first activated.  A trouble ticket will be opened by CSC operator 
and passed on to the INMC even if the customer is not able to supply all the 
basic information, but the initial research may slow down the resolution 
process.

2 Hours:
When necessary, troubles will be escalated to the INMC supervisor level.  A 
customer may call and request this escalation (800-726-0201).

4 Hours:
A 2nd level escalation may be requested by dialing 800-726-0201.

6 Hours:
The INMC Manager is the 3rd level of escalation chain:

                                Jack Tozier
                                703-904-2271
                                Pager: 800-859-7242, PIN: 18918
                                e-mail: jack.a.tozier@sprint.sprint.com

Note:   A notification message will be issued upon the opening of a trouble 
ticket and at each escalation step, addressed to the customer 
representative(s) on file, to the appropriate Sprint account team, to the 
SprintLink program manager, Steve Burkes, and to the director of Internet 
Services and Systems, Bob Collet.

        SprintLink Program Manager:

                                Steve Burkes
                                703-904-2357
                                Pager: 703-701-4710
                                e-mail: steve.r.burkes@sprintintl.sprint.com



8.0  Pricing

Pricing for SprintLink service is comprised of three components:

1.)  LOCAL ACCESS:
Sprint will arrange and bill for local access between the customer premise 
and the nearest Sprint POP.  

 
              The local access charge for a T-1 circuit 
              (required for fractional T-1 or full T-1 SprintLink    
              service) from 415/243 exchange in San Francisco
              to the nearest Sprint POP is: 

                                $  410.00 per month
                                $1,699.00 installation (non recurring)

(In return for a three year term committment, Sprint will waive the non-
recurring installation charge for the above quoted local access.)



OPTIONAL LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS:
(For Fractional T-1 or Full T-1 SprintLink service)

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT SPRINT PROVIDE (ARRANGE AND BILL FOR) THE 
LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE BETWEEN THE CUSTOMERS PREMISE AND THE NEAREST SPRINT POP 
AS QUOTED ABOVE.  However, in some situations, customers may request to 
coordinate/arrange for the local T-1 access to Sprint's POP, chosing to deal 
directly with the local access service provider (Local Telephone Company or 
Alternate Access Vendor).  If the customer desires to make such arrangements, 
there are two options:

A.)  Customer Provided Access

Customer orders access service directly from local access service provider to 
the nearest Sprint POP.  The local access service provider bills the customer 
directly for the access charge.

IN ADDITION TO THE CHARGES ASSESSED TO THE CUSTOMER BY THE LOCAL ACCESS 
SERVICE PROVIDER, Sprint shall bill the customer the following:

T-1:

Central Office Connection Charge:$122.00 per mth / $327.00 One Time Fee
Entrance Facility Charge:        $194.31 per mth / Waived One Time Fee

Total Sprint Charges:            $316.31 per mth / $327.00 One Time Fee

In the event that future service problems arise, if Sprint's INMC suspects a 
problem with the local access facility, Sprint will notify the customer who 
will be responsible for coordinating with the local access service provider 
to resolve troubles associated with the access portion of the overall 
service.  Such an arrangement often causes confusion and can typically delay 
problem resolution.  For this reason, Sprint recommends that customers either 
allow Sprint to provide the local access service, or make arrangements for 
Sprint Coordinated Vendor Billed Access (SCVBA) ... see below.


B.)  Sprint Coordinated Vendor Billed Access (SCVBA):

SCVBA is a service offering of Sprint provided access where Sprint 
coordinates, orders, installs, provisions, and maintains the T-1 access for 
the customer but the local loop charges are billed directly to the customer 
by the Local Exchange Carrier (or Alternate Access Service Provider).

The customer shall negotiate the appropriate access charge with the access 
service provider.  In addition, the customer must sign a Letter of Agency 
(Sprint will provide a form copy upon request) which authorizes Sprint to 
order the service on the customers behalf.  

IN ADDITION TO THE CHARGES ASSESSED TO THE CUSTOMER BY THE LOCAL ACCESS 
SERVICE PROVIDER, Sprint shall bill the customer the following:

T-1:

Access Coordination Fee:         $ 70.00 per mth / $207.00 One Time Fee
Central Office Connection Charge:$122.00 per mth / $327.00 One Time Fee
Entrance Facility Charge:        $194.31 per mth / Waived One Time Fee

Total Sprint Charges:            $386.31 per mth / $534.00 One Time Fee

Depending on the amount of the billable charges negotiated between the 
customer and the local access service provider, it may be more cost effective 
to have Sprint order and bill for the local access service as quoted above 
(Sprint Local Access).


2.)  PORT CHARGE:
The port charge is dependent on the desired speed of the connection, and has 
both a flat monthly fee and a one-time installation charge.

Should a customer choose to provide their own (Cisco) router, Sprint offers 
to provide the stand-alone DSU or CSU/DSU at the customers site for a 
separate charge of:

                          Monthly         Installation

Dowty DCP-3081 DSU        $ 50              $ 100
 (9.6Kbps/56Kbps)

Kentrox 78761 DSU/CSU     $110              $ 150
 (Frac T-1, T-1)

If a customer wishes to provide their own DSU or CSU/DSU at the customer's 
site, the device must be approved (certified) for use on the Sprint network 
by SprintLink Engineering.  If you are considering providing such equipment, 
please consult with your account manager to determine whether the device has 
been certified.

Sprint is currently in the process of developing purchase prices for all of 
the CPE hardware required to provide SprintLink connectivity.  Availability 
of such purchase prices is targeted for 4Q93.
