CSNET (the "Computer Science Network") was created by the US National Science Foundation (additional info and facts about National Science Foundation) in the early 1980s (The decade from 1980 to 1989).
CSNET connected with ARPANET using TCP/IP (A set of protocols (including TCP) developed for the internet in the 1970s to get data from one network device to another), and ran TCP/IP over X.25 (additional info and facts about X.25), but it also supported departments without sophisticated network connections, using automated dial-up mail exchange.
CSNET operated autonomously until 1989, when it merged with Bitnet (additional info and facts about Bitnet) to form CREN (additional info and facts about CREN).

 CSNET, Computer Science Network
The history of the CSNET is a story of enterprising academic entrepreneurship, and yet another example of TCP/IP's inexorable drive to spread.
To progress the plan to develop the CSNET, a meeting was held in the Philadelphia airport between representatives from DARPA, the NSF, and several universities.
One of the most important legacies of the CSNET was the introduction of the NSF to the Internet, which led directly to development of the NSFNET.

CSNET users must be: o Affiliated with your organization, and o Authorized by the local Administrative Liaison, and o Engaged in computer-related research or advanced development in science or engineering.
CSNET use and access policies are spelled out in full in the CSNET 'Terms, Conditions, Policies, and Procedures.' The CSNET Administrative Liaison at the member organization is responsible for determining who is eligible to use CSNET and for enforcing CSNET policies.
CSNET PhoneNet sites cannot run their own domain servers, since they do not have direct real-time access to the Internet; instead, they must arrange with other hosts that are on the Internet to perform this function.

 CSNET, Computer Science Network
CSNET subsequently grew rapidly across the US, with email and Usenet interfaces with the ARPANET resulting in increasing cross-traffic between the networks.
CSNET played a central role in popularizing the Internet outside the ARPANET, eventually connecting more than 180 institutions and tens of thousands of new users, who in turn went on to further the awareness and spread of the growing network.
In 1988, the managing boards of CSNET and BITNET voted to merge, thereby creating a larger network managed by the new Corporation for Research and Educational Networking (CREN).

This included cooperative relationships between CSNET and national network projects.
Landweber served as Chair of the project during its implementation phase and also led a technical project that designed and implemented an early network-based directory system, "the CSNET nameserver." By 1984, over 180 university, industrial, and government computer science departments were participating in CSNET.
CSNET was funded by NSF ($5 million for 5 years).

In the spring of 1980, CSNET [Computer Science Network], was defined and proposed to NSF as a logical network made up of several physical networks of various power, performance, and cost.
In 1983, general management of CSNET was assumed by UCAR [the Univ. Corporation for Atmospheric Research], with a subcontract to BBN.
CSNET, with support from the NSFnet program, is now developing the CYPRESS project which is examining ways in which the level of CSNET service may be improved, at low cost, to research departments.

 RFC 882 (rfc882) - Domain names: Concepts and facilities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As such, the name server is an authority for the root for class CS, and an authority for the CSNET domain for class IN.
Although this problem could be "fixed" by a series of MF entries for *.*.CSNET, Mockapetris [Page 24] RFC 882 November 1983 Domain Names - Concepts and Facilities *.*.*.CSNET, etc, a more tasteful solution would be to introduce a cleverer pattern matching algorithm in the CSNET name server.
For example, the host that supports both CSNET and ARPA Mockapetris [Page 27] RFC 882 November 1983 Domain Names - Concepts and Facilities Internet protocols might prefer mail delivery (MD) to mail forwarding (MF), regardless of protocol, or might prefer one protocol regardless of whether MD or MF is required.

Although NSF funded CSNET, they also made sure that a clause was inserted in the project plan that the network should be self sufficient at the end of five years.
Instead of expanding CSNET to be a backbone, to serve other communities, and to achieve world peace, CSNET remained focused on one problem.
CSNET was not just limited to the U.S. It formed an important way, along with BITNET, to spread the Internet overseas.

 The Role of NSF's Support of Engineering in Enabling Technological Innovation: IV. THE INTERNET
The CSNET was not a great success on a technical level, but it brought together the people and created the environment which fostered the Internet” (SRI interview with Robert Kahn, April 22, 1996).
CSNET helped set the model for NSFNET in yet another sense: the promise of time-limited support, after which the service provider would have to be self-supporting.
Since the CSNET was the first nonmilitary network to link to the ARPANET by using the transparent TCP/IP protocol, some regard this occasion (implemented in 1983) as the birth of the Internet (Comer, 1983).

Hence, mail to users on CSNET systems connected via PhoneNet or to users on some UUCP connected computers can still be addressed using the syntax _u_s_e_r@_d_o_m_a_i_n.
For example, mail originating on host _t_y_c_h_o._a_r_p_a (directly connected to the ARPANET) sent to a user on _c_s._b_r_a_n_d_e_i_s._e_d_u (a CSNET PhoneNet connected host) may be addressed to _u_s_e_r@_c_s._b_r_a_n_d_e_i_s._e_d_u, if the mailer on _t_y_c_h_o._a_r_p_a uses a domain name resolver and has MX record support.
CSNET has the same host name syntax as the ARPA Internet, but mail is gatewayed to the ARPA Internet via the host RELAY.CS.NET.

Although he is no longer associated with the CSNET CIC, he will continue to write his column for the Forum, so long as the thoughtful souls at the CIC continue to send him his regular diet of fine wine, brie, and chocolate chip cookies.
In the case of CSNET this operation may be repeated: local hosts are connected to the PhoneNet or X25Net machine, which is connected (along with the rest of the PhoneNet/X25Net machines) to the Csnet-Relay machine, which is connected to the Internet.
Usually what this means is that most of the hosts are able to communicate at very high speed with their "gateway" machines, which in turn are able to communicate at only moderate data rates via the long-haul networks, which are slower due to the cast of long-distance data transmission.

If some message for a host in the EDU domain is forwarded to this host it can either route it to the destination via uucp, possibly route it to the destination via some other communcation scheme, or may not know of the destination at all.

 The 'Security Digest' Archives (TM) : TCP-IP Distribution List for April 1984
I take it that an increasing number of CSNet sites are actually able to communicate with each other via IP (but that a number of CSNet sites are still communicating only via UUCP-like methods).
All the X.25-based CSNet sites are on the same network (except for a couple on a testbed network), so if they were to talk to each other, there would be no DoD network in the middle; however, the CSNet sites that are also ARPAnet hosts must use the ARPAnet to contact any other sites.
We (CSNET) are experimenting with using a VAX running 4.2 Unix and the Purdue-developed IP over X.25 code (called XNI) as a gateway, because throughput through the VAN gateway is often quite bad.
