Network Connectivity at SC06
SC06 NLR FrameNet Infrastructure
- NLR will provide a layer2 switched gigabit ethernet infrastructure for SC06.
- 2 10 GE links to the show floor, one from the FrameNet switch in Baton Rouge and one from the FrameNet switch in Jacksonville.
- A direct backbone link between the Chicago and Atlanta FrameNet switches is being added to provide additional capacity.
- Both 10 GE and GE connections are available to the NLR FrameNet switch on the show floor.
- Ports will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Both dedicated and non-dedicated point-to-point services are available.
- Users will be responsible for connections at the far end of the circuit beyond the NLR demarc.
- NLR can only guarantee dedicated 10 GE access for 1 hour at a time for any application.
- However, if excess capacity exists, we will try to accommodate requests for longer time periods.
- Users interested in connecting to the NLR FrameNet service should request a dark fiber connection from their booth to the NLR FrameNet switch.
Questions or connection requests regarding NLR SC06 services should be sent to the NOC at noc@nlr.net. Show floor infrastructure must be ordered via normal SCinet procedures after August 31, 2006.
