Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network
The Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (officially abbreviated as "NIPRNet", but mostly spelled "NIPRNET"), often just called "Non-classified IP Router Network", is used by the armed forces of the United States for exchange for internal, but not classified as confidential , data as well as to provide Internet access.
NIPRNet based on Internet Protocol - routers of the US Department of Defense (DoD). It was set up in the 1980s by the Defense Communication Agency (DCA), today's Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and has been operated by them ever since to replace the older MILNET . Over the past few years the network has grown faster than the US Department of Defense has been able to monitor; therefore, the ministry has spent $ 10 million to track the current status of the network in an effort to track the current size of the network and track down unauthorized users who have managed to break into the network uncontrollably. The NIPRNet review will also look for security vulnerabilities. The Department of Defense has raised large sums of money over the past few years to improve network security.
The SIPRNet and NIPRNet are colloquially referred to as sipper-net and nipper-net (or simply sipper and nipper ).
