The networking infrastructure is an essential and common layer to all the activties and research projects at CRS4. In order to provide an adequate support to researchers, throughout the years, it has changed both in architectures and technologies. The current architecture has been planned to provide high robustness, performance and resilience.
The overall network infrastructure may be summarized in:
- Network Infrastructure with backbone links up to 60 Gbps
- 200 10Gb Ethernet ports
- 1200 1G Ethernet ports
- Multiple 10G Ethernet links between the main building and its remote sites in the Campus
- Multiple 10G DWDM links on dark fibre between the Campus and "Sa Illetta" site
- 1G Internet connection on GARR link, 10G next year
