HEAR: Live Net Sound *for Online User only
from OHNO LAB (Time at the Ohno Lab)


Perhaps the most interesting attribute of the Internet is
that it is a living network.
What if we could feel it
by listening to the sounds of the network?

The humming at the Live Network features the sounds of the network at the Tokyo Institute of Technology's Ohno Laboratory. There are 17 students working at the lab day and night. They study, eat, attend lectures, and even sleep and get up at the lab.


Memo
ÅE* To enjoy this feature, you must install RealAudio Player. Up to five users can listen simultaneously.
* If you do not have RealAudio Player, try the sample sound AIFF180K / WAV195K / AU196K .
* If the RealAudio Player plug-in does not work, access pnm://taosbsd.is.titech.ac.jp/livestetho.ra directly.
* The Ohno Laboratory is located in the 7th building of the Ookayama Campus's West Wing at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. The sounds you now hear are brought to you from there after passing through a number of networks and routers.
* The Net Sound page is located on a server at the Ohno Laboratory, and you can hear the sounds that are applied to various protocols in the network at the lab. For example, you can also make a sound. When you reload this page, you will hear a sound applied to the http protocol. For your trial use, the Ohno Laboratory prepared the ping protocol to send to another server at the lab.
*RealAudio encoding takes 10-40 seconds, so a time lag will be noticeable.
* Net Sound translates nine different communications protocols into sound data based on network traffic data at the lab. If you are not familiar with the protocols and what they are, please read the documentation.
