External Connections


US connectivity

• 200 Mbit/s between Amsterdam and NYC:– Commodity Internet through Teleglobe– STAR TAP connection (45M)– dCAR/DWFQ/MPLS TE

• Peerings:– Now: Abilene, ESnet, DREN, UIUC, NWU– Soon: CA*net, SingaREN, UIC, others


SURFnet5

• Creation of partnerships• Testing of various new technologies:

– IP over (all) optical networks

• 80 Gbit/s backbone & 20 Gbit/s access• New features:

– IPSEC, VPNs and Traffic Engineering (MPLS)– Classes of Service (DiffServ)– Mobile IP; Multicasting


Access Infrastructures (1)

• Access network are running behind• Aim: High-speed connectivity always

and anywhere• Pilots for new national access

networks:– Wired (e.g. ADSL, TV-cable, fiber)– Wireless (e.g. UMTS)


Access Infrastructures (2)

• Development of generic facilities and services:– authentication– authorization– encryption– directory services
