This fiber connection is used as a backup for the primary connection that the Anella Científca has at Campus Nord, also at 10 Gbps, and it’s useful in case of an eventual drop of the main peering. With the upgrade from 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps, the capacity of the main link and the backup link is the same.
The upgrade has been done during the renewal of the core equipment of the Anella Científica.
