MBIX is pleased to announce that MRNet, the Manitoba Research Network, has connected to MBIX, and is now peering on IPv4 and IPv6. It should be pointed out that MRNet actually joined at the end of August, making this post delayed from actual connection time.

MRNet has connected at 1 Gbps, but after an equipment upgrade, plans to upgrade to 10 Gbps.

MRNet connects many educational and research organizations to the exchange:

• MERLIN
• University of Manitoba
• University of Winnipeg
• Red River College
• Brandon University
• Assiniboine College
• University College of the North

For the full list of networks connected to MRNet, see their current members.
