JINR Network infrastructure

Network infrastructure of JINR is a sophisticated aggregation of the hundred kilometers optical cabling structure, multifunctional hardware devices and software products united into the unified logical structure. These structures are designed to ensure the functioning of the entire IT infrastructure of the Institute, to provide the entire set of network services for JINR users

Main objectives of JINR networking service are:

  • Support of access to JINR multi-functional information computer center (MICC);
  • Maintenance the common information space for the crucial IT resources in JINR: computing, information service and data storage;
  • Maintenance of a common information space for the JINR employees, providing the ability to communicate between divisions of the Institute;
  • Support of access to the JINR GRID segment as a significant part of the distributed Russian GRID structure;
  • Support of network access for the users of the Institute both to the central resource pool in LIT and to the resource pools of individual laboratories (departments);
  • Providing of a high-speed access to Internet resources and the countries of the JINR Member States;
  • Support of the common network services, such as authorization and authentication, e-mail, DNS, proxy-service, a database of network elements IPDB, NMIS-monitoring system of active network elements of the infrastructure status.

The network infrastructure of JINR includes the following three functional parts:

  • The external optical telecommunication data transmission channel JINR-Moscow;
  • The fiber-optical backbone of the JINR local computer network;
  • The local computer networks of the Institute's divisions.

The JINR network has direct connections with a number of scientific, educational and public networks at speed:

  • with LHCOPN network - 2x100 Gbps;
  • with LHCONE network - 2x100 Gbps;
  • with GEANT network - 10 Gbps;
  • with RBnet network - 10 Gbps;
  • with networks of Moscow and St. Petersburg - 10 Gbps;
  • with Internet - 10 Mbps.

The interworking within Dubna city is organized on the basis of the traffic exchange node DBN-IX in JINR.
The Institute's local network has direct connections at speeds of:

  • with Telecom-IPC network - 1 Gbps;
  • with network TELESET - 1 Gbps.
