I was in a communications class last fall that covered something called "CA*net 3", which I'm guessing is a similar network to the one being discussed in the thread. I won't pretend to know a lot about it, as we only touched on it in class.
CA*net 4
Quote:
...the government of Canada committed $110 million to Canarie for the design, deployment, and operation of CA*net 4.
CA*net 4 will interconnect the provincial research networks and, through them, universities, research centres, government research laboratories, schools, and other eligible sites, both with each other and with international peer networks. Through a series of point-to-point optical wavelengths, most of which are provisioned at OC-192 (10 Gbps) speeds, CA*net 4 will yiel a total initial network capacity of between four and eight times that of CA*net 3.
