RESTENA

RESTENA ("Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche") is the very high-speed network for the education and research community of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Operational since 1989 and connected to the global Internet in 1992, the network is today deployed and operated by the Restena Foundation (Restena). Set up in 2000, the Foundation brings together all types of research and teaching bodies and the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training, the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and the Ministry of Finance. The Foundation also coordinates Internet resources nationally. It operates the domain name registry for the .lu domain and participates actively in the Internet exchange point LU-CIX.
Network services.
The Restena Foundation offers eligible institutions and establishments in the field of education, research, culture, health, administration Internet access, and connectivity to GÉANT and the Luxembourg Internet Exchange. A point-to-point connection service is available for institutions to interconnect remote sites via a virtual private network (VPN); those links are implemented via DWDM lambdas or Ethernet VLAN. Connected institutions can benefit from a range of network management services, such as data communications equipment configuration and monitoring of the connection facilities between the institution and the national backbone. A secure Web interface allows the institution's connectivity performance to be monitored and evaluated. Service availability (www, mail, etc.) is watched, and the status is notified by email or SMS.
The domain name service includes recursive, authoritative DNS servers for all domain names required by the institutions. 
The Network Time Protocol service allows synchronizing the clocks of all computer and network equipment. This service is available to connected institutions and individual users.
A pool of public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are available for allocation to connected institutions.
Access services for individuals.
The ADSL service provides continuous, unlimited access at high speeds to all national RESTENA network services and the Internet and GÉANT. Dialup access via ISDN or analog modem gives less demanding users access to network services.
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) service provides a secure connection to the network. The service is available to any user connected outside the network wishing to access ordinarily inaccessible intranet services or external services reserved for RESTENA users.
Restena operates the international roaming service eduroam in Luxembourg. eduroam allows users of participating institutions worldwide to access the Internet from any of these institutions using the access credentials obtained from their home institution.
