2. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate
GÉANT2
To GÉANT2

3. GÉANT2 and Services Pan-European Hybrid Network Over Dark Fibre
12,000 Km. of Dark Fibre
DWDM equipment: Alcatel 1626 LM
TDM Switches: Alcatel 1678 MCC
IP equipment: Juniper
Services
IP services over DWDM: Already Operational!
P2P services (ie. between big supercomputing centers): Under provisioning

4. P2P services Part of GÉANT2+ services
Typically available for NREN on the Dark Fibre Cloud
Types:
Over G.709 wavelengths:
10Geth or STM-64 interface
Directly over the DWDM equipment
Over TDM equipment:
10 GEth LAN PHY with VLAN capability
Multiple 1GEth
STM-64/STM-16 channels => Already used to provide IP Backups
GEANT+ -a 10Gbps access to the network that alloes the establishment of switched point to point circuits to other locations on GEANT2. Typically available for NRENs on the fibre cloud.  (Note: althoigh we have done something special for Ireland, Greece and Poland). Typically used for swicted GE services, but can be used for other granularities additional 10Gbps wavelengths: -STM-64 or 10GE accessed via the GFP-F encapsulated 10GE LAN-PHY accessed via the MCC These two come in two flaovours: a "primary" where DANTE engineers the circuit on the shortest path, and a "backup" or "secondary" circuit where the the circuit is engineered on a diverse path than the primary.

5. Global P2P services
Up to 4x10Gbps links between GÉANT2 and Abilene in the near future
Possibility of implementing P2P services in some of these transatlantic links
Serving customers in US and Europe
Let’s go for it!
