2 I -An update of the Research Networks in Brazil and Latin America I would like to thank you Dr. Dongchul Son for invited me to this talk In this part of this summary of News from Brazil about Research Networks in Brazil and Latin American Countries, I will use almost a hundred per cent information and Slides coming from Dr. Michael Stanton Director of Inovations of RNP (National Research Network). RNP is the main National organization of Networks in Brazil. ANSP in São Paulo State and Rede Rio are the regional organizations working with RNP. Pratically all States of Brazil has a Regional Network and all of them are connected to RNP 2

3 GIGA PROJECT is an Advanced Networking testbed for development Participation include: in Computing and in Science. RNP (Brazilian NREN) CPqD (telco industry R&D centre in Campinas, SP) R&D community Intend to Support R&D subprojects in optical and IP networking technology and advanced applications and services - explore user control of optical fibre infrastructure * interconnect 20 academic R&D centres in S.E. Brazil * use of IP/DWDM with Ethernet framing Industry participation (telcos provide the fibres) Government funding for 3 years (via FUNTTEL/Finep) - started December

4 Project GIGA structure FUNTTEL FINEP R$ Executive Board R&D themes RNP CPqD Advisory Committee CPqD, RNP. companies providing additional resources Optical Networking Network protocols and services Experimental Telecom services Scientific services and applications CPqD RNP CPqD RNP Contracts Universities R&D centres Companies Contracts Slides from M. Stanton 4

7 Future Expansion of the GIGA Project April 16: 2 Ministers decide: Expansion of GIGA to Northeast the Minister of Communications, in the presence of the Minister of Sc&T, announced that the Experimental Network of the GIGA Project would be expanded to include institutions in NE Brazil May 7: GIGA Project Starts Officially the Experimental Network in the SE was inaugurated by the same two ministers. On this occasion the Minister of Communications declared that the Experimental Network of the GIGA Project would gradually be extended to the whole of Brazil, beginning in 2005 with NE Brazil June 6: Telemar signed a MoU with RNP and CPqD to provide dark fibre from Rio de Janeiro to Fortaleza (3000 km). 7

8 This extension of the GIGA Project is a good and real Advancement for Science in Brazil. Maceió João Pessoa This is a wonderful NEWS! our colleagues from Salvador -Bahia will can start to work with us on CMS. 8

9 International Internet connections: Existing links All current connections are to the USA: RNP operates: 2 * 155 Mbps commodity to Miami (Global Crossing) 45 Mbps cooperation via AmPath (Global Crossing/FIU) Other Brazilian R&E network connections: 200 Mbps operated by ANSP (São Paulo state network) 155 Mbps operated by Rede-Rio (Rio de Janeiro state network) New links Europe/Latin America: 155 Mbps cooperation through the CLARA network (Aug 2004) In future, to the US: At least 622 Mbps (maybe 2 * 622 Mbps) cooperation, shared by CLARA network, through NSF s International Research Network Connections (IRNC) (expected from Jan 2005) 9

11 Research networking in Latin America: current situation The only Countries having research networking connectivity in LA: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela Ampath Provided conectivity for some S. American countries New Directions: New CLARA regional network, connecting 18 countries AmPath CLARA Members Argentina Dominican Republic Panama Brasil Ecuador Paraguay Bolivia El Salvador Peru Chile Guatemala Uruguay Colombia Honduras Venezuela Costa Rica Mexico Cuba Nicaragua 11

12 Building and operating the CLARA network: the ALICE project: 2003 to 2006 ALICE - América Latina Interconectada Con Europa Coordinated by DANTE, with participation of NRENs from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the CLARA countries May 2003: ALICE Project approved by European Commision with EUR 10 millions (80%) financing (remainder from Latin America) June 2003: Open tender for provisioning of links June 2004: Link contracts assigned Aug 2004: Network operational Notes: DANTE (manager of the pan-european network, GÉANT) is the project coordinator and will sign contracts with users and providers CLARA is expected to represent interests of LA users in the medium term (one year) 12

13 CLARA network topology (June 2004) Significant contribution from European Comission and Dante through ALICE project NRENs in 18 LA countries forming a regional network for collaboration traffic Initial backbone ring bandwidth of 155 Mbps Spur links at 10 to 45 Mbps (Cuba at 4 Mbps by satellite) Initial connection to Europe at 622 Mbps from Brazil Tijuana (Mexico) PoP soon to be connected to US through dark fibre link (CUDI-CENIC) access to US, Canada and Asia - Pacific Rim 13

15 In my talk at SILAFAE (Latin America Symposium of High Energy Physics) I said: IV Latin America have to wake up for HEP. Latin We (Digital Divide Committee)have perhaps to identify Americ what are the real Problem. Financial Support? Traditions? a & Priorities? And Take some initiatives. Conclu We have now: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, sion..? And Venezuela, Equator, Peru, Cuba, Chile, Honduras,..? Why not? What our committee on ICFA could do Help to bring our tallentous Colleagues to the HEP world? Let us propose something to CLAF (did in Lima/Peru SILAFAE meeting): 15
