The DFN-Verein
The DFN-Verein is a non-profit making body grouping together scientific and research interests in Germany for the promotion of computer-based communication and information services. Founded in 1984 as a mutual assistance institution of universities and technical colleges, extra-mural research institutions and private sector research bodies, it now supplies the scientific community with a high performance information and communication system - the Deutsches Forschungsnetz, DFN. Around 400 institutions from science, research and education make up the DFN-Verein membership.

"Breitband-Wissenschaftsnetz" (B-WiN) - the broadband network
 B-WiN is a virtual private ATM Network operational since spring 1996 with lines of up to 155 Mbps. B-WiN is used by around 700 different institutes and establishments.

"Gigabit-Wissenschaftsnetz" (G-WiN) - the gigabit-per-second network
G-WiN is scheduled to replace the current B-WiN in summer 2000. G-WiN stands for ultra high-speed data transmission, new multimedia applications and worldwide connectivity. The Gigabit-Wissenschaftsnetz employs state-of-the-art optical fibre technology. Pioneering technologies such as Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) ensure optimal usage of optical fibre capacity and structured data transmission.
SDH/WDM technologies are engineered by Deutsche Telekom Systemlösungen GmbH, Nuremberg, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG. Routers for the core network nodes are supplied by Cisco Systems.
In the start-up phase G-WiN users can have lines of up to 2.5 Gps capacity, subsequently a large number of 2.5 Gbps channels will be available.

International Connections
The computer-based communication infrastructure of the Deutsches Forschungsnetz also offers high performance connections to other parts of the world:

• At present a total of 2 x 622 Mbps data traffic pass via New York into the US Internet, the Abilene Internet2, and the world wide Internet. G-WiN connections will substantially expand on this amount.
• The DFN is connected with European research networks at a transmission capacity of 2 x 155 Mbps via TEN-155 (Trans European Backbone 155 Mbit/s) organised by Dante Ltd of Cambridge, UK.

Internet2
The construction of the G-WiN Wissenschaftsnetz interlocks with the construction of the global Internet2. The Deutsches Forschungsnetz is bringing Internet2 to Germany just as other research networks in countries throughout the world are also paving its way. With this goal in mind, the DFN-Verein is working in close collaboration with the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) in the United States, a non-profit making organisation of over 100 universities. In 1999 the UCAID launched the "Abilene", the very first Internet2 network.

• Internet2 in Deutschland - Press release of 30 June 2000 - Das Gigabit-Wissenschaftsnetz setzt neue Maßstäbe - offizieller Start und Pressekonferenz

• DFNIP - the global high performance Internet service, managed by the DFN-Verein (IP).
• DFNATM - for flexible broadband usage using Asynchronous Transfer Modus (ATM) with Quality-of-Service.
• DFNCONNECT - the SDH-point-to-point service between various user locations for flexible real-time usage of high quality guaranteed band width ideal for temporary, high service quality computer link-ups for video conferences etc.
• DFNMBONE - the Multicast Service enabling reciprocal communication between a large number of partners.
• DFNWiNShuttle - dial-in access to the Wissenschaftsnetz.

Current DFN Projects

Gigabit Testbeds - Project of 1998
The launch of the G-WiN Gigabit-Wissenschaftsnetz was proceeded by two testbed pilots where new network technologies were tried out and new applications developed. The first testbed - the Gigabit Testbed West - started up in 1997 linking the FZ in Jülich, the GMD in St. Augustin, the KHM and the DLR in Cologne, and the University of Bonn. Summer 1998 saw a worldwide premiere on the Jülich - St. Augustin/ Bonn gigabit highway when for the first time on a long distance communication network user bandwidth was increased to 2. 4 Gbps. The Gigabit Testbed South/Berlin was started up in 1998. Financed by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, the Gigabit Testbeds demonstrated that they could fulfil the need of the scientific community for an ultra high-speed network.

Infraservices(similar to Middleware concept)
In addition to raw bandwith a number of network components, most traditionally regarded as applications, are necessary for building advanced network applications. Examples of these are proxies, directory services, multicast, Quality of Services and multimedia services. Infraservices also ecompasses traditional  network services and security issues. Nordunet2 will encourage and seek to support worthy projects within these areas.
