CA*net 3 Status All GigaPOPs and regional networks connected and operational ORANs up and running in Nfld, PEI, Quebec, Alberta Announcements expected shortly for ORANs in BC, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia, New

Brunswick 360network connection to Europe and NY through Dalhousie coming soon

Will make Canada & Dalhousie global hub for most international research traffic Several US networks and universities looking to connect directly to CA*net 3

NYSERnet to be completed shortly UoMinnesota in discussions

Traffic volumes exceeding 500 Mbps peak on all links Network expected to be reach peak capacity by September with on-going WDD trials and

HDTV sessions between UoCalgary and McGill Numerous countries have built or plan to build networks modeled on CA*net 3 and proposed
