History
ORIENT: 2007 – 2010
IP routed link between Copenhagen and Beijing
Speed: 2.5 Gbit/s
ORIENTplus, an Introduction
Time period: 2011 – 2014Partners:– China: CERNET and CSTNET– Europe: European NRENs and DANTE (coord)
Budget: 4 million euroSponsored by the European Commission, Chinese
Government and the partner European NRENsAims:– To continue a direct link between China and
Europe for R&E, and increase its speed– To stimulate further development of services– To promote the use of the services

ORIENTplus Link Planning
Timeline for the Link:
– 2011: Copenhagen-Beijing at 2.5G (CERNET, supplied by TeliaSonera)
– 2012: London-Beijing at 2.5G (CSTNET, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender)
– 2013&2014: London-Beijing at 10G (EU partners, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender)
ORIENTplus, start
ORIENTplus started as a continuation from the ORIENT project
ORIENTplus, the move to 10G
10 Gbit/s milestone reached on January 2nd, 2013A 10G lambda between London and Beijing
CERNET: biggest NREN in China
• Fibre network backbone 100G(40λ) DWDM
• Core IP network backbone 100G
• 31 provinces and over 200 cities
• 38 PoPs• Over 2000
universities and institutes
• 30M users
CSTNET: S&T Network in China
• Backbone 10G• 12 sub centers• Over 20 provinces• Over 100 research
institutes • Over 1M end users
CNGI-CERNET2 IPv6 Backbone
• Backbone 10G to 40G/100G
• 25 PoPs in 20 cities
• Over 260 IPv6 access networks, most of them /48 IPv6 addresses• 2M end users

Moving to the new link
New 10G link delivered in December 2012 as planned, by China Unicom
Traffic cut over from old 2.5G link to new 10G link happened on January 2, 2013 as planned

Back-up for ORIENTplus
Distance London – Beijing: 8250 km (ATCF)
IP backup for ORIENTplus link through:– 10G Internet2/NSF link Beijing – Los Angeles– Internet2's routed IP network– ACE Project's multi-10G North Atlantic lambdas
ORIENTplus is also backup for Beijing-Los Angeles, as a mutual backup
Thus, creating a multi-G IP routed infrastructure for R&E across the Northern Hemishpere
Link Usage (1)
Over 25 substantial scientific and educational collaborative projects and programmes are using the ORIENT/ORIENTplus route: CERN Collaboration: LHC project (IHEP-
IN2P3), South East University with CERN Shanghai Astronomical Observatory – JIVE INFN-ARGO YBJ EMBnet EUChinaGrid GEONETCast- EUMETSAT 1000 Genomes Project
INWA-GRID CEOP-AEGIS and DRAGON2 Shanghai Jiao Tong University – University of
Essex Bridge-Grid ITER - the global fusion energy programme Global atmospheric research, remote robotic
experiments, etc.
Link Usage (2)
Future Plans
Further develop shared operations of the link between CNGI-6IX NOC and GEANT NOC
Deployment of tools and services for R&E such as:– PerfSONAR– eduroam– Dynamic point to point links, using the Open
Grid Forum's NSI Architecture
Stimulating the use of the link
High-speed Routed IP and Point-to-Point links between Europe and China available for Research and Education
You can...– Help us promote the usage of the link in your PR
material– Inform the users you talk to about ORIENTplus– Feedback any opportunity for ORIENTplus back
to the Project partners
ORIENTplus: An opportunity for your users
