9. 9 Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM @ CERN. July 2004. Data Transmission  Will AMS need a dedicated line to send data from MSFC to ground centers or the public Internet can be used ?  What Software (SW) must be used for a bulk data transfer and how reliable is it ?  What data transfer performance can be achieved ? G.Carosi,A.Eline,P.Fisher, A.Klimentov High Rate Data Transfer between MSFC Al and POCC/SOC, POCC and SOC, SOC and Regional centers will become a paramount importance
