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.
Routing Information
GÉANT maintains prefix lists on each NREN peering, to ensure integrity of the route announcement. Each of these lists are built on the RIPE object maintained by the NRENs to ensure the latest information is used. It is the NRENs responsibility to ensure the RIPE information are kept up to date.
More information regarding the GÉANT routing policies can also be found here:

Security
As an IP transit service, GÉANT IP provides security by monitoring the network for suspicious behavior and the GEANT CERT is the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) makes sure that an appropriate response is given to possible threats. The team will inform NRENs if any security incident affecting them is detected. NRENs are also able to subscribe to the Network Security Handling and Response Process (NSHaRP), without incurring any additional cost.
By subscribing to the NSHaRP service, the NRENs will be able to decide which events they want to be informed about and will start receiving automated emails informing about anomalies. More information on NSHaRP is available at: http://www.geant.net/Network/NetworkOperations/Pages/NSHaRP.aspx
Demarcation Points
The management demarcation point between GÉANT and the NREN network is a port on the Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) rack, as described in Figure 8, below. The exact port will be specified at the time of the connection.
