NREN on dark fibre: Where dark fibre is available in Location A and B, an NREN is connected to GÉANT in Location B through the Juniper MX for its primary connection. The backup connection is delivered through its Juniper MX in location A via the Infinera optical platform (DTN-X). This configuration is the most resilient setup, with service availability of 99.999%, and the capability to deliver capacity up to 100Gbps per port. | |

Multi-homed NRENs: If an NREN is collocated in Location A and wants to connect to a location where dark fibre is not available,the back-up is provided through another Juniper MX in the same location. | |
Single homed NRENs If an NREN wants to connect to a location where dark fibre is not present but they are collocated with the GÉANT PoP and require long-haul connectivity provided by a sub contracted provider. | |
Load Sharing
When an NREN connects to more than one PoP, it is possible to request for the load to be shared across the number of accesses available, as seen below.
