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
( )> 1.2 Gb/s =< 5 Gb/s

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    
ATM over SDH    
SDH    
PDH    
Ethernet    
Gigabit Ethernet X X
DWDM X X
Packet over SONET X X
Other: 10GE   X

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 0.0 0.0 100.0
Expected situation, early 2007 0.0 50.0 50.0
