  6. GÉANT Backbone Topology July 2002

  7. GÉANT Backbone Access Speeds

  8. A Research Network Is About.. • Research on Networking • A Network for Researchers • A Strategic Investment

  9. Research on Networking • Requirements Are Far Ahead of Commercial Services • Requires Dedicated (Often Ad-hoc) Infrastructure • Often Disruptive for Network and/or Service Infrastructure • Development of New Services

  10. A Network for Researchers • End-to-end Connectivity Is Necessary • Requirements Are 1-2 Years Ahead of Commercial Services • Need Infrastructure Stability and a Good Quality of Service • Validation of New Services

  11. GÉANT - The Goals • Gigabit Connectivity • Geographic Expansion • Guaranteed Quality of Service • Global Access

  12. Basic Architecture • Dual Unprotected ’s • Diverse Routing of Connectivity • Wire Speed Performant Router

  13. Development of Prices for International Bandwidth (Logarithmic Scale)

  14. Cost Balance CapacityRelative Cost SDH 3 GBps 45 DWDM 127 GBps 55 TOTAL 130 GBps 100

  15. Portfolio • Today • Point to Point Connections • IP Service •  10 GBps • Tomorrow • Switched Lamdas • Dark Fibre • Gigabit Ethernet •  80 GBps

  16. GÉANT - Future Plans • Dual Stack IPv4/IPv6 2003 • Optical Options • Traffic Management

  17. The Way Ahead... • Good for Many Locations • There is no International Bottleneck • There is a Divide in Europe
