6.26 Short description of major changes that occurred in the network during the past year or that are foreseen for the coming year:
The beginning of 2005 saw three changes in the CyNet network. Firstly, the connection of the network to GEANT was upgraded from 34Mbps to 155Mbps. Secondly; a new link was created to the EUMEDCONNECT network at 45Mbps. The EUMEDCONNECT PoP that CyNet is connected to is actually hosted by CyNet at its premises. Lastly, IPv6 was offered as a production service.

In 2006, CyNet expects the introduction of a new PoP to expand its national backbone and an upgrade of the backbone capacity. As part of the EUMEDGRID project, a grid site will be put in production by the end of the year. Work is also underway for the introduction of a pilot PKI service.
