GrangeNet AimsDevelop next generation of communications networks and services (‘AARNet3-4’)Provide infrastructure to integrate high-performance computing and visualisation systems (‘APAC Grid’)Support distributed ‘User Communities’ with demanding applications Promote cooperation between industry and research organisationsFacilitate business development based on advanced communications products and services
International Research and Education Networks
AARNet has deployed it’s own capacity to the advanced networks of North America, and later to the Asia Pacific – from these also to Europe and the rest of the worldIs now peering directly peer directly at PacificWave with:

Location independence and need to access resources and collaborate with others elsewhere in the world
Technology deploymentEnd-to-end Performance Measurement and Monitoring
AARNet has had extensive passive measurement/monitoring for some time, now participating in NLANR AMP
Multicastimplemented, multicast peering with Abilene, wider distribution within AARNet and GrangeNet next – facilitated Australia’s participation in SC2001
IPv6 – rollout in next few monthsVoice-over-IP
National deployment already in place, switching 16,000 calls per day – wide distribution of H323 gatekeepers within Australia, QoS deployed, toll quality – also working on SIP
Video-over-IPInitial H323 deployment successful, scaling to national rollout – will work with VideNet, I2 Commons, SurfNet
New Carrier Services AARNet now has a carrier licence and this has the
potential to provide other opportunities resulting from nominated carrier declarations and inter carrier agreements
Has commissioned a fibre-layer to lay new ducts and fibre, owned by AARNetActs as nominated carrier on behalf of MembersCan gain access to ducts and towers of other carriersWorking with power utililities and rail authorities to explore opportunities (use of fibre and rights of way)Intercarrier agreements and wholesale costs
