1 x 10GE IP connection to Internet2
1 x NLR PacketNet/FrameNet
1 x PacWaveNet to Caltech and to Kisti
1 x CiscoWave to Brazil via FLR

Network InterConnect

Force10 Z9000 switch acted as the central part for connecting several 40GE and 10GE servers and also uplinking via 120G portchannel to Brocade MLXe-4 for the 100G WAN connection to Univ of Victoria via Ciena OME6500 installed in SCinet. 10GE WAN connections were terminated in Cisco 6509E switch.
