Network Connectivity
The Network Operation Center we use is located in Baltimore, Maryland, it is OnNet with
GlobalCenter, Qwest Communications and GTE through three separate bandwidth-on-demand
connections that enter Baltimore in our building.
Global, a Tier 1 provider with a 13,000-mile fiber optic network that provides an
enormous 460 gigabytes per second of capacity worldwide, has an ATM fiber node
located just a few floors below our servers.
Qwest comes into Baltimore with an OC-12 line and plans to upgrade its connection
to an OC-48 in the near future. Qwest also has an ATM fiber node just floors
below us. Our Qwest connection enables us to offer additional redundancy and better
routes to Europe, Latin America and Asia. With our carriers, our router has up to
150,000 possible routes to send each packet of traffic.

Genuity, a division of GTE, is our third Tier One Internet backbone.
They provide an excellent network performance as a result of high-speed
peering arrangements with other Tier One Internet backbone providers.
The GTE global network delivers customers directly onto the Internet via a
high-speed connection to its private, super-capacity backbone, including
17,000 miles of fiber and OC192 capacity. It is comprised of more
than 800 U.S. local access points and approximately 1,500 international
local access points in more than 150 countries.
Furthermore, because of these unique connections, Rosserver does not need
to link to the Internet through an OC3 or T3 Telephone circuit. Instead,
independent cables run inside the building directly from our NOC to all
three carriers' points of presence, making us the standard in network reliability.
