ethernet

Overview SURFnet wanted to provide flexible, high-bandwidth connectivity to over 180 research and higher education organisations throughout the Netherlands. An adaptive, all-optical, intelligent network was built using a combination of the Common Photonic Layer (CPL), the Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 and the Optical Metro 5000. The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 was also deployed to support essential routed IP networking.
