• 100 times as fast as SURFnet4

• IP over optical transmission infrastructure

• 80 Gbit/s backbone - 20 Gbit/s access

• Introduction of new IP features, e.g.– Authentication and Classes of Service

– IPsec, multicast and IPv6

– MPLS, VPN and Traffic Engineering (FRR)

• In partnership with industry
