Abstract:	SURFnet, the Dutch national research and education network, is a player in the GigaPort Project. GigaPort consists of two interrelated sub-projects, GigaNet and GigaWorks. Within the context of GigaNet a highly advanced communications network is being developed with super-fast connections across The Netherlands and Europe and to North America and Asia. GigaWorks offers the Dutch business community the opportunity to carry out large-scale research into new applications for the next generation of the electronic highway. SURFnet operated an OC-12 speed backbone across The Netherlands with a 200 Mbit/s connection to North America and a 155 Mbit/s connection to TEN-155, to which most other European national research and education networks are connected. SURFnet is connected to the STAR TAP in Chicago, IL and has a direct connection to Abilene.
