The Global Crossing backbone is designed, developed, and deployed to provide for fast, reliable, high capacity transport of various traffic types within and between the high-density traffic areas around the world. The network reaches 200 cities, in 27 countries, on 5 continents around the world, supporting: Traffic aggregation - customer traffic accesses the Global Crossing Network and is routed across our backbone to its destination Interconnection and peering - Global Crossing interconnects with other provider networks to enable peering and traffic hand-off between networks, ensuring worldwide reach/delivery of our customers’ traffic Content distribution - the network is designed to provide the capacity, speed, and reliability demanded by data intense applications, such data center content hosting, streaming media/video applications, etc. At the base of our network is our DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) fiber optic network. Riding directly on top of the DWDM network is our Wavelength Service. Available at speeds of up to 2.5 or 10 Gbps, this Service provides carriers or business enterprises an alternative to purchasing dark fiber on traditional private lines and provides a point-to-point, linear service which is protocol transparent. Alongside the Wavelength Service, and also directly deployed over DWDM, are three distinct service platforms - SDH/SONET, a Multi-Service Network (ATM), and our Core IP Network. Deploying these service platforms directly over DWDM provides for improved throughput and scalability, vs. traditional deployment which stacks the service platforms on top of each other over the DWDM network (imposing protocol overhead on each layer). SONET/SDH - provides an intelligent system that offers advanced network management and a standard optical interface. This system uses a self-healing ring architecture that is able to re-route traffic instantaneously. Multi-service ATM Network - a cell-based platform which supports various CoS (voice, data, video, etc) and differentiated QoS Core IP Network - a packet-based platform which provides internet connectivity and traffic distribution/delivery On the SDH/SONET service platform, three services are available: IRU, PL, and Voice On the Multi-service network, ATM services are deployed globally over a single, seamless OC48/STM16 ATM network. FR is deployed on the ATM network. The services use a single switch vendor, avoiding interoperability issues, and are serviced on a unified platform for provisioning and network management. The multi-service network has the advantage of allowing Global Crossing to interwork different services seamlessly (Frame Relay to ATM Service Interworking). On the Core IP Network, IP Transit provides XSPs and network providers connectivity to the Global Crossing IP backbone for worldwide internet access at speeds ranging from DS3/E3 through OC48/STM16. Content distribution is facilitated by Global Crossing’s globally deployed, fully meshed, MPLS-te enabled IP backbone, which provides improved traffic management and content throughput/delivery. MPLS-based IP VPNs will meet the demand for secure, high capacity, high speed, IP data transport. These IP VPNs will utilize evolving MPLS capabilities to provide economical, point-to-point, on-network delivery of IP traffic with security and reliability. Traversing the Multi-Service Network (ATM) and the Core IP network is the IP Service Node, which supports services such as VoIP, QoS capable IP VPNs, and Dedicated Internet Access for business enterprises. VoIP and QoS capable IP VPNs will first reside over the ATM network, until MPLS evolves to be able to provide differentiated CoS/QoS. In some cases, Dedicated Internet Access will be provided over the ATM network as part of IP enabled FR/ATM PVCs. In some cases, Dedicated Internet Access will reside directly on the Core IP Network when FR/ATM services are not required by the customer application. Various options are available to access the SDH/SONET, Multi-Service, and Core IP Networks, including SDH/SONET, ATM, DSL, Dial, and other options (local loops, Metro Networks, etc). Finally, Global Crossing is introducing Managed Services to provide full premise-to-premise network management solutions to business enterprises. This will include CPE procurement, implementation, proactive monitoring and network management service, along with maintenance service and lifecycle management. These capabilities will be available across the PL, ATM, FR, VoIP, IP VPN, and DIA services. DWDM Fiber Network

IP Transit Pricing Two pricing models: Fixed Fee - pricing depends on access bandwidth Access port with guaranteed bandwidth Access bandwidth is maximum bandwidth Price is fixed per month Common outside US-Region Variable (also known as “burstable”) - pricing depends partly on committed access and also on usage if usage exceeds committed Customer commits to a certain bandwidth, access port bandwidth will be higher then committed If necessary customer can burst above committed up to access port bandwidth Billing based on 95/5 usage Monthly price will vary based on actual usage Local Loops or IPL access priced separately Pricing Guidebook: http://marketing.east.frontiercorp.com/global/ip_transit/documents/IP_Transit_Pricing.pdf Pricing contacts (Morristown, New Jersey): Al DiGabriele, Director +1 973 889 5954 Lou Najdzin, Manager +1 973 889 4564

IP Backbone Architecture OC-48/OC192 IP over dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) Most competitors run IP over ATM IP direct over DWDM provides improved throughput and enhanced scalability IP over ATM creates approx. 15% overhead when encapsulating IP into ATM cells (known as “cell tax”). Running IP direct over DWDM avoids this overhead. MPLS Enables “IP Tunnels” for improved bandwidth management Reduced “hops” on the network Improved performance reliability

Global Crossing’s Research Network Connection Program Based on Global Crossing’s IP VPN Express Route ™ Service and IP Transit Express Route is a fully meshed, MPLS based Global IP network that provides “any to any” connectivity, thus, Research Traffic is segregated from commercial traffic with express delivery to research network peering points Single local loop for best economics: IP Transit / Express Route

Global Crossing’s Research Network Connection Program Ability to create Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP VPN’s Allows for the creation of Extranets with other NREN partners, IPv4 & IPv6 supported High performance, GigE speeds with SLA for Latency, Packet Loss, and Availability “Any to Any” is ideal for both short term and long term projects

Global Crossing’s Research Network Connection Program Several NREN’s are already utilizing this service/technology, Such as Fapesp, AMPATH, and a major European NREN with connectivity to StarLight/Startap, thus, direct connectivity to these networks is easily facilitated. Special pricing has been developed. Either pay only for actual bandwidth used (usage based) or a custom Flat Rate to meet budget requirements
