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. |  |

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.
...
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. Configuration Details The following configuration details will be provided by GÉANT:
The NREN must specify:
