Time period: 2011 – 2014
Partners:
– China: CERNET and CSTNET
– Europe: European NRENs and DANTE (coord)
Budget: 4 million euro
Sponsored by the European Commission, Chinese
Government and the partner European NRENs
Aims:
– To continue a direct link between China and
Europe for R&E, and increase its speed
– To stimulate further development of services
– To promote the use of the services

ORIENTplus Link Planning

Timeline for the Link:
– 2011: Copenhagen-Beijing at 2.5G (CERNET,
supplied by TeliaSonera)
– 2012: London-Beijing at 2.5G (CSTNET, supplied
by China Unicom as result of tender)
– 2013&2014: London-Beijing at 10G (EU partners,
supplied by China Unicom as result of tender)
ORIENTplus, start

ORIENTplus started as a continuation from the
ORIENT project

New 10G link delivered in December 2012 as
planned, by China Unicom
Traffic cut over from old 2.5G link to new 10G link
happened on January 2, 2013 as planned

Back-up for ORIENTplus



Distance London – Beijing: 8250 km (ATCF)
IP backup for ORIENTplus link through:
– 10G Internet2/NSF link Beijing – Los Angeles
– Internet2's routed IP network
– ACE Project's multi-10G North Atlantic lambdas
ORIENTplus is also backup for Beijing-Los Angeles,
as a mutual backup
Thus, creating a multi-G IP routed infrastructure for
R&E across the Northern Hemishpere
Link Usage (1)

Future Plans



Further develop shared operations of the link
between CNGI-6IX NOC and GEANT NOC
Deployment of tools and services for R&E such as:
– PerfSONAR
– eduroam
– Dynamic point to point links, using the Open
Grid Forum's NSI Architecture
Stimulating the use of the link
ORIENTplus: An opportunity for your users


High-speed Routed IP and Point-to-Point links
between Europe and China available for Research
and Education
You can...
– Help us promote the usage of the link in your PR
material
– Inform the users you talk to about ORIENTplus
– Feedback any opportunity for ORIENTplus back
to the Project partners
