Renater
RENATER (Réseau national de télécommunications pour la technologie, l'enseignement et la recherche) Deployed at the beginning of the 1990’s, RENATER (National telecommunications network for Technology, Education and Research - NREN) provides a national and international connectivity via the pan-European GÉANT network, to more than 1,000 education and research sites in Metropolitan France and Overseas Departments and Territories. The RENATER network is an important and added value tool for research and education. It makes easier the collaborative work of the French researchers with their worldwide colleagues (data transfers and acquisitions, videoconferencing, spreadsheets etc.). Its infrastructure is constantly upgraded to fulfill the users needs.
RENATER is connected to international networks through a 10 Gbit/s link to GEANT and directly to northern America through two 2.5 Gbit/s links.
RENATER supports IPv6.
