What kind of name is that anyway?
I do work for DOD and its not any real secret, our networks are
internalized. We use NIPRNET SIPRNET. Nonclassified Internet Protocol
Routed Network and Secret Internet Protocol Routed Network. (I could very
well have some of the words wrong as I don't memorize it). Our connections
are to the NOCC, Network Operations Control Center. One in UK One in the US
(there are more but for simplicity...) The NOCC controls access of NIPRNET
to the "outside". SIPRNET never goes outside. You can't get in. Course
anyone who wants in bad enough will figure it out, but I'm sure they have
the biggest and baddest firewalls around.
Interestingly, there are some efforts underway (and some commands have done
it) to go on the economy for internet service since its very slow on NIPRNET
sometimes and we are charged from our budget for the bandwidth used.
My disclaimer is that I don't know ALL the details, this is my personal
understanding of the BASIC operation. I don't know everything.
I wrote this mostly for the group. Anything beyond this no one will get
access to.
What kind of name is that anyway? I think I would be embarrassed to use
it....

May I suggest that in the future you take better steps to cover yourself?
Do you really work at SITA-Societe Internationale de Telecommunications
Aeronautiques?
Au revoir!
