Grid'5000 backbone network infrastructure

Renater's WDM infrastructure

Grid'5000 backbone network infrastructure is provided by RENATER

RENATER is the French National Telecommunication Network for Technology, Education and Research. More information can be found on the web site: http://www.renater.fr


RENATER offers about 30 POPs (Points Of Presence) in France, at least one POP for each region, which metropolitan and regional networks are connected on. More than 600 sites (Universities, Research Centers, ..) are interconnected through RENATER.

The actual phase of the network is RENATER-5, the deployment has been completed by January 2009.

The "standard" architecture is based on 10Gbit/s dark fibers and provides IP transit connectivity, interconnection with GEANT-2 (http://www.geant2.net/), overseas territories and the SFINX (Global Internet exchange).

For more information on the Grid5000 Backbone Network Architecture, please check the Network_interlink page.

Grid5000 IP Network

Initial design

The initial design of Grid'5000 sites interconnection has been adressed within the RENATER backbone using a Ethernet Over MPLS (EoMPLS) solution. It used to be full mesh topology based on MPLS tunnels (LSPs) established between the RENATER PoPs on which are connected the Grid'5000 sites. Sites were interconnected through 1Gbit/s VLANs.

Dark fibre

RENATER-4 introduced a dark fibre infrastructure allowing to allocate dedicated 10Gbit/s "lambdas" for specific research projects. It also provides interconnection with GEANT-2 (see picture above), with increased capacity compared to GEANT-1 and dedicated interconnection for projects. RENATER-5 has enhanced the dark fiber infrastructure and all Grid'5000 sites are now connected to it.

Grid'5000 sites see each others inside the same VLAN at 10Gbit/s speed (while a few bottleneck still exists, like the Lyon to Paris fiber).

Monitoring and Metrology

You can find the monitoring and metrology done on Grid5000 by Renater and the Grid5000 staff on the Network_interlink#Monitoring section.

International Extensions

We share a direct connection with the following networks :
