About Plus
The virtual private networks (VPN) created under the RCTS service allow the exchange of high flows of information in a simple and integrated manner.
This provides better performance and isolation from RCTS IP traffic.
Speeds of 1Gbits/s, or 100Gbits/s, using proprietary address are available.
Users can configure their own VLANs, thus creating their own VPN on top of the VPN provided by PLUS.
Several entities with different connections and rates can also be integrated into the same VPN PLUS.
International Links
Plus may include entities from other European academic networks connected to the GÉANT network through the equivalent GÉANT Plus service.
The inclusion of external entities to the RCTS, always requires confirmation of the existence of these features in the target networks.
Terms of Use
Specially designed to include advanced features for activities and projects that require high-performance switched connectivity, Plus is aimed at all institutions eligible to join the IP service.
If your organization is part of the academic or scientific community and is not yet connected to the RCTS Network, here's how to join and use the Plus service.
