WELCOME AT THE NETHERLIGHT HOMEPAGE
NetherLight is an advanced open optical infrastructure and proving ground for network services optimized for high-performance applications.
NetherLight is operational since January 2002 and is a SONET/SDH cross connect and Gigabit Ethernet switching facility for high-performance access to participating networks.
Ultimately, it will become a pure wavelength switching facility for wavelength circuits as optical technologies and their control planes mature. NetherLight is realized by SURFnet in the context of the GigaPort project.
