Further information:
Bandwidth on Demand
Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) is the service for automatic provisioning of bandwidth on user request in the GÉANT Service Area. Through their NRENs, it allows users such as campus IT systems staff and researchers to reserve end-to-end data transport capacity when they need it, between end points participating in the service.
AutoBAHN
AutoBAHN is a GÉANT provided dynamic circuit provisioning tool that integrates with an NREN’s own systems to facilitate the GÉANT multi-domain Bandwidth on Demand service.
cNIS
cNIS (Common Network Information Service) is a set of software modules that collects, manages and shares network topology data. cNIS can be used either as a component to build higher-level services and applications, or as a standalone repository of network topology data that supports network engineers and administrators in their daily work.
