DFN-Internet at a Glance

With the DFN-Internet service, we provide participating institutions with an internet protocol (IP) communications service. Using DFN-Internet, members can access the X-WiN research network, all other cooperating research networks around the globe, as well as all other subnetworks in the internet (IP-transit).

DFN-Internet is oriented towards the needs of the most challenging projects in science and has been consistently designed for high data transmission rates as well as low latencies and runtime fluctuations.
