Excellent map, thank you Jane.
As Erik Jan was alluding to, I also cannot help but be impressed to see
what our R&E Networking Community has created since we first discussed a
transatlantic 40gbps. or even possibly7 100gbps When Erik Jan passed by
here in Montreal in the wake of the successful Iceland - Europe 100gbps
demo at TNC2012. The resulting transatlantic 100gbps at TNC13 in
Maastricht is now part of R&E Networking history.
In addition to the points listed by Erik Jan I would like to note that from
my old carrier perspective, it occurs to me that some circuits are not
shown as backed-up.
1) Washington _ Geneva although CERN also has a direct connection to
Netherlight. Should the Geneva-Amsterdam connection be added?
2) Lisbon looks quite isolated at the end of the Fortaleza circuit. This
brings a question to mind: does Lisbon have an alternate path? Any
agreement with Geant to that effect?
3) Really missing is a Chicago or New York to Jacksonville or Boca Raton
connection in AP-REX; this isolates South America from North America.;
Best regards and wishing you all safe and enjoyable holidays as we are yet
again about to enter a new year. Let's hope indeed that we will soon be
able to meet in person again.

Dear GNA-G Community:
Earlier this week, the Q4 2021 Community VCs took place. If you were
there, thank you for participating!
One of the topics that was discussed is the draft for the new map for
the front page of the GNA-G website (https://www.gna-g.net/) Since the
time the existing map was created, the GREN has moved forward.
A big thanks to Jane Gifford of AARNet who is the creator of the
original map. She is now working with the Leadership Team on creating an
update.
The draft new map as was shown during the Q4 2021 Community VCs. During
the VCs, we already received the following comments (thanks!):
* The interconnection between the North American GXPs needs to be reviewed.
* A new link between Mtunzini and Amsterdam, that balances the link
between Cape Town and London, should be added.
* In AER, Jeddah should be a dot on the map, as there is a GXP in
Jeddah, and the links between Jeddah and Amsterdam and between Jeddah
and Singapore should be double.
* In APOnet, there are a few links that might need to be double.
* Also in APOnet, the links to Auckland need a double check.
Please review the map and reply to me with your suggestions. I will
collect them, review them with the Leadership Team and Jane, and from
that we will produce the new version.
Thank you and happy holiday season.
Kind regards,
