| What speed in Mbps is your SEGP connected to I2? | 622 | | Is your SEGP 'backbone' multicast enabled (multicast is turned on)? | Yes | | Does your SEGP offer QoS? | Yes | | Does your SEGP provide multi-conferencing (MCU) services? | Yes | | Other video services provided (Internet2 Commons, DVTS, Marratech, etc.) | No | | Please describe any future plans you may have. | KanREN (the Kansas Research and Education Network) is a non-profit membership consortium, organized as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. KanREN's membership includes state universities, community colleges, private colleges and universities, K-12 school districts, public libraries, and other non-profit organizations with an education or research focus. KanREN's SEGP status was sponsored jointly by the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University. KanREN operates a backbone network on behalf of its members (approximately 70 sites across the state). The current backbone utilizes gigabit Ethernet technology in a "star" topology with the central core at Lawrence. KanREN is currently planning to replace the current backbone with an optically-provisioned ring utilizing dark fiber, lambda service, or both, within the next 12-18 months. This project is being conducted in collaboration with Kan-ed, a statewide education network administered by the Kansas Board of Regents and managed by KanREN, and this collaboration is expected to result in the sharing of KanREN's optical backbone by both networks. | | Please provide comments on the data you've entered. | Kan-ed is an organizational member of KanREN, and the Kan-ed network is peered with the KanREN network. Kan-ed is organized by state statute to be administered by the Kansas Board of Regents; the network operations center (NOC) is managed by KanREN under contract with Kan-ed. The data provided here covers all KanREN and Kan-ed sites, but the Kan-ed data is partly estimated, because most Kan-ed sites are connected through peering partner networks, and KanREN does not have access to accurate connection bandwidth information from those networks. | | Other services offered (video streaming, web conferencing, etc.) | |
