Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc):The University are working on 100Gb/s WAN connection and backbone project. We expect the Tier 2 will have a 100Gb/s link with maybe some QoS limits to ensure the rest of University are not starved of access. A data transfer zone is also expected to be implemented.

Institution Janet Connection: 1x10 Gb/s plus second 10 Gb/s backup link
Tier 2 Connection: 1x10 Gb/s plus second 10 Gb/s backup link, dedicated and separate to the institute connection above
Forward Look:
Network manager is in discussions at an early stage with JISC to get a 100 Gb/s link, but this may be shared with other users on campus.
Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc): Tier2 has dedicated Janet links which bypass the campus firewall. College occasionally expresses concern about cost implications of our (future) network requirements.
IPv6 Enabled?: No
IPv6 Comments: Networks team is overstretched and cannot cope with our request.
UKI-NORTHGRID-LANCS-HEP
Institution Janet Connection: 40Gb (4x10) + two 10Gb link (one temp, one the backup used by the Tier 2)

Forward Look: 40Gb/s + failover (?)
Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc): site will bypass all the university firewall.
IPv6 Enabled?: yes
IPv6 Comments: outgoing IPv6 traffic on all machines, incoming IPV6 traffic only on storage.
UKI-NORTHRGRID-SHEF-HEP
Institution Janet Connection: None shared 1 x 10Gbps link for LHC / Grid / HPC
Tier 2 Connection: 1 x 10Gbps uplink.
Forward Look: No bandwidth upgrade is planned for LHC / Grid / HPC activities.
Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc): All routes through Institution firewall.

Forward Look: Aim for 100Gbps by 2023.
Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc): Dedicated Science DMZ
IPv6 Enabled?: Yes
IPv6 Comments: Institute isn't IPv6 at all but as we're a Dedicated connection and DMZ, we managed to implement it first.
UKI-SCOTGRID-ECDF
Institution Janet Connection: 100GB to ACF facility https://shapingthefutureofjanet.jiscinvolve.org/wp/technology-innovation/to-100gbit-s-and-beyond/
Tier 2 Connection: 10G currently
Forward Look: plans to improve uplink to EDDIE (Edinburgh Tier2) compute to 20G in 2021, not yet clear if we will get 10G or 20G to/from site storage after this work is completed.
Comments (including any routing and firewall bypass arrangements, DTZ etc): University perimeter firewall gets grumpy when not using valid certificates, but otherwise ntr.
IPv6 Enabled?: yes, enabled on site storage and perfsonar, not expected to be deployed on compute
IPv6 Comments: broadly just works within the university
UKI-SCOTGRID-GLASGOW
Institution Janet Connection: 2 × 10 Gb/s
