ESnet has built a pre-deployment testbed network in preparation for the Bay-Area MAN installation. The testbed consists of two Juniper T320s, three Cisco Catalyst 6509s and four 10 GE Linux hosts. The devices are interconnected with multiple 10 GE and 1 GE connections. We're using this as an environment to build and configure the components, verify proper interoperability and perform capacity testing using the Linux hosts. As the devices are put through their paces with acceptable results, we'll be deploying them in the field in the latter half of April, 2005.
