Compendium 2005 - Network

Organisation:
Users / Clients Network Traffic Funding & Staffing Services Basic Information Organisational Information
2.1Number of PoPs on the network (defined as the number of sites where the NRENs manages routing or switching equipment) 60
2.2Number of managed links (that carry production traffic) between PoPs on the network 80
2.3Estimate of the bandwidth*distance products [in Gbit/s*km] for all the NREN's managed links. (SUM linki * bandwidth(linki) 8340.00
2.4Current typical core usable backbone capacity on the network (excluding backup links)
 ( )2 Mbit/s or below
( )> 2 Mb/s =< 34 Mb/s
( )> 34 Mb/s =< 155 Mb/s
( )> 155 Mb/s =< 622 Mb/s
( )> 622 Mb/s =< 1.2 Gb/s
(x)> 1.2 Gb/s =< 5 Gb/s
( )> 5 Gb/s =< 10 Gb/s
( )> 10 Gb/s
2.5Expected increase in two years' time One 10 Gbit/s, parallell 2,5 Gbit/s, Gigabit Ethernet

2.10Technology used on the core network

Technology Current (tick or give estimated percentage of the length of the network in km in point-to-point distances:) Expected situation in early 2007
ATM 0  
ATM over SDH 0  
SDH 85  
PDH    
Ethernet 0  
Gigabit Ethernet 15  
DWDM 0  
Packet over SONET 0  
Other:      

2.11Does the NREN have IRUs or does it own or lease dark fibre? Percentage of the network (in kilometres in point-to-point distances) which is dark fibre.

Owned, % of network IRUs, % of network Leased, % of network
Present situation 2.0 90.0 8.0
Expected situation, early 2007 2.0 90.0 8.0

Remarks regarding this section

An existing IRU-agreement assures communication to most sites until 2018
