RIPR

The RIPRNet (Releasable Internet Protocol Router Network) is a <a href="/facts/TCP/IP/KNkxtSpw">TCP/IP</a> based computer network for joint <a href="/facts/Republic_of_Korea_Armed_Forces/KHfR5eNp">Republic of Korea Armed Forces</a>–<a href="/facts/United_States_Department_of_Defense/dWAvf7e3">United States Department of Defense</a> access, analogous to the <a href="/facts/SIPRNet/tQuvDBlN">SIPRNet</a>.
Whereas SIPRNet is the de facto SECRET-level TCP/IP network for U.S.-only use, RIPR is for information classified as Releasable to the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and US Secret. In other words, RIPR is a secure coalition network for joint ROK-US usage. RIPRNet's architecture is based on a multi-layered approach. Utilizing state-of-the-art encryption, the network facilitates communication among pre-vetted and authorized users. The network's design is said to borrow heavily from <a href="/facts/Network_model/3YU8MDPB">earlier network model</a>, but with enhanced features that focus on specific features.
Like SIPR and NIPR, it is commonly pronounced "ripper".
