This report provides an update on the N-Wave Engineering progress as discussed during the Stakeholders Conference in Boulder, held on May 22, 2012. Key highlights include the full meshing of the core network for high availability, designed primarily for high-volume data flows with a capacity initially at 10G and upgradeable to 100G. Various critical connectivity enhancements have been implemented, including the use of DWDM for core circuits, Layer 2/3 VPNs for Ethernet connectivity, and the establishment of multiple Layer 3 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) structures for management and traffic segregation.
