We design, plan, build and operate the large-scale, high-performance GÉANT network that connects
European NRENs to each other and the rest of the world for sharing, accessing and processing the high
data volumes generated by research and education communities and for testing innovative
technologies and concepts.
Interconnecting Europe’s
NRENs over a Tbit highly-
resilient pan-European
backbone.
NRENs serve 50 million users
at 10,000 institutions across

1. The cloud provider contacts GÉANT (researchengagement@geant.org)
• Location/capacity
2. We liaise with the local NREN to agree on the solution
• Connection to NREN/direct peering/IX
3. The cloud provider is informed of the decision and, either:
• Is handed over to the NREN – the liaison with the NREN starts
• Keeps liaising with GÉANT
4. The physical connection is done
5. GÉANT liaise with the NREN/Cloud provider to connect to the CLS VRF

Not allowed by default
BUT…
The GEANT Board can provisionally allow it under the conditions that:
• A clear use-case is presented
• Need to show locations involved, usage expected, timeframe
• The providers have a technical solution to identify/segregate the traffic
• An explicit decision will be needed by the Board (no tacit approval!)
