	Abilene Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Abilene was chosen because of the network's resemblance, in ambition and scope, to the Abilene railhead in Abilene, Kansas, which in the 1860s represented the frontier of the United States in the context of the nation's railroad infrastructure.
		Abilene, although a private network used for education and research, is not entirely an isolated network, since its members usually provide alternative access to many of their resources through the public Internet.
		Abilene is not technically part of the Internet since it does not peer with the public Internet networks.
