Available connectivity
NetherLight is an Open Exchange, providing policy-free connectivity between the connected parties. NetherLight itself does not provide transit capacities. GLIF & GÉANT offer this transit capacity for the research and education community.
Transit capacity
GLIF
GLIF, the Global Lambda Integrated Facility, is an international virtual organisation that promotes the paradigm of lambda networking. GLIF provides lambdas internationally as an integrated facility to support data-intensive scientific research, and supports middleware development for lambda networking.
GLIF brings together some of the world's premier networking engineers, who are collaborating to develop an international infrastructure by identifying equipment, connection requirements, and necessary engineering functions and services.
GÉANT
The GÉANT network is the pan-European communications infrastructure serving Europe’s research and education community. GÉANT is co-funded by European National Research & Education Networks (NRENs) and the EC, the GÉANT network and project (also known as GN3).
