Abstract
The advent of the new generation of accelerators, LEP and HERA, requires a new quality of network for the HEP community. Plans for the very high speed wide area network in Germany are presented. Modelled after the first 140 Mb s pilot line, which currently connects the Ethernet LANs of Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, this network includes CERN and DESY and a number of German HEP institutes and so constitutes a backbone for high speed telecommunication to be used by HEP and other scientist. We discuss the technology, architecture, protocols and operational aspects of this network.
