
DTN-X solution from Infinera
Why?
Photonic integration
Large pools of “virtualised” BW
Ease of use
Excellent service wrap

4
Switching/routing layer
 MX series of IP/MPLS switch/routers
from Juniper
 Why?
 Supports a wide array of switched
services (based on EoMPLS)
 Includes MP2MP as well as P2P
 Optimised for Ethernet
 Supports 100GE
 120Gbps/slot (new SCBs)
 Also good at routing…
 …and ready for “virtualisation”…

GÉANT Open Call – some background….
“Open Call” EC process to select new partners
(leveraging talent outside GÉANT)
Used to meet project objectives – focus on
innovation (new services/technologies) and
enabling new users
EC requirement that 50% of GÉANT’s R&D
budget (€3.3m) spent via Open Call
OPEN
CALL
18-month projects
EC contribution €100k–350k

Wide consultation across Consortium and
beyond
Select themes early 2015 (EC preference is a
focus on “Services” + inclusion of more
businesses)

ICOF project
Clock transfer techniques developed
NEAT-FT
aims at an comparison of clocks at NPL
(London) and SYRTE (Paris)
connected through 760 km of dark fibre
mostly belonging to GÉANT
Parts of link situated in noisy
environments, e.g. the metropolitan areas
of London and Paris and the Eurotunnel.
Techniques of cancelling fibre-induced
phase noise uses fully bi-directional links
Up to 8 bi-directional EDFAs also highgain fibre Brillouin amplifiers at the end
points.
