The Network

National Network
The map below shows the plan for implementing the wide area network. The internet connectivity for each of the 6 sites will be upgraded to higher bandwidth and faster speeds. Each sites' connection to the closest point of presence (POP) will be upgraded: between Montana State University, University of Idaho, University of Alaska, University of Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop in Seattle; between the University of Wyoming and the Front Range Gigapop in Denver and between the University of Nevada-Reno and the CENIC hub in Sunnyvale, CA.



Local Networks
Network engineering diagrams, provided by David Richardson, University of Washington, for each of the six institutions are shown below. Parts of the network shown in red are provided by the Lariat network, parts in green are provided by each institution.
