Clara Advanced networking in Latin America and the CLARA initiative LISHEP 2004 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil February 2004 Michael Stanton CLARA Technical Committee Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa do Brasil - RNP

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP A Brief Story of Networking in Latin America Political, linguistic and cultural considerations have traditionally led to considerable interaction between countries within the region However, networking has not followed this model: First connections (BITNET) starting 1986 using satellite links between the US and each country separately Same topology inherited with transition to Internet Even multilateral initiatives (RedHUCyT in mid 90s and AMPATH from 2001) have used traffic hubs in the US.

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP First global conections from LA countries Two “classical” phases of connectivity: networks (BITNET, UUCP) full Internet (IP) connectivity Table shows the dates of the first connections for each LA NREN (National Research and Education Network)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP

Clara 5 Influence of telecommunications infrastructure Until very recently, the only available telecom infrastructure for data communication was by satellite –cost independent of distance –no incentive for establishing links within the region, as all countries were mainly interested in access to global Internet Recent important changes (since late 1990s): –end of state telecom monopoly in many countries competition and lower prices most LA NRENs replaced by commodity IP providers (for economic or political reasons) –building out of new infrastructure based on submarine fibre optical cables

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Optical cable infra-structure Advances in optical transmission technologies have recently made it possible to build very long distance undersea communications systems based on DWDM In the late 1990s, several new DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) cable systems were built, vastly increasing the installed capacity Principal new undersea cable operators in Latin America: –Global Crossing –Telecom Italia – Sparkle –Telefonica International Wholesale Services - TIWS (E-mergia) –New World Networks (ARCOS cable)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP New Optical Cables in Latin America E-mergia (TIWS) Global Crossing & TI Sparkle Global Crossing ImpSat Transandino UniSur San Juan, Puerto Rico Miami to New York to California

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP New cables in the Caribbean (Maya & Arcos) Maya Arcos (festoon)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Present Advanced R&E Connectivity in Latin America AmPath uses Global Crossing connects AR, BR (2), CL, VE 45 Mbps (one size fits all) all connections are point to point from Miami, and thence to Abilene Mexico cross-border connections to USA (TX and CA) AmPath

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Present State of Latin American NRENs Established education and research networks: With dedicated Advanced R&E connections: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela Some with dedicated int’l connectivity: Costa Rica, Cuba, Uruguay Education and research networks being re-established (present nat’l/int’l connectivity through commercial ISPs) Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, El Salvador No education/research network (most connected to Internet via commercial ISPs): Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Haiti, rest of Caribbean

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Abundant Medium Narrow Argentina - RETINA ( 4 with advanced connectivity 8 in the near future 57 with low connectivity -45 Mbps to AmPath

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP ATM backbone -14 nodes -300 Mbps total b/w -FR to other PoPs -15 state networks -Aggregate int’l b/w over 500 Mbps (incl. 90 Mbps to AmPath) -new RNP backbone in 2004 – 1.8 Gbps total b/w (6x increase) Brazil - RNP (

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Iquique Antofagasta Copiapó La Serena Valparaíso Santiago Talca Con cepción Temu co Valdivia Arica Osorno Chile - REUNA ( -ATM backbone -10 nodes -10/60 Mbps -45 Mbps to AmPath

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Mexico - CUDI ( Internal links at 155 Mbps 400 Mbps of int’l connectivity

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Where do we go from here? AMPATH´s achievements –Initial boost for Advanced Networking in LA –Stimulus for advanced connectivity inside each country –Motivation for collaborative projects –Connectivity needs, delayed till now due to high costs, being solved BUT Why does LA communicate internally through Miami? Why does LA communicate with other parts of the world through the US?

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Another paradigm: Pan-European R&E networking In Europe, global networking also began with direct BITNET and IP links to the US from separate countries Since the early 1990s great efforts have been invested in pan-European networking, through the creation of a series of regional backbone networks: These networks have been built and managed by DANTE (Delivering Advanced Networking Technology to Europe), with financing by European NRENs and the EU Four versions of the pan-European backbone network –EuropaNET ( ) –TEN-34( ) –TEN-155( ) –GÉANT(2002- )

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP TEN-34 Trans-European Network at 34 Mbps 20 countries operational in 1997 backbone speed inferior to internal NREN links (cost of int’l links)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP TEN-155 Set up after liberalisation and harmonisation of European telecom industry Much cheaper int’l connectivity within Europe In some countries liberalisation delayed

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP GÉANT First network of the “Bandwidth Age” 20-fold increase in capacity over TEN-155 for the same cost Principal connections are 10 and 2.5 Gbps wavelengths Currently the largest capacity operational IP network in the world

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP iniciative Through GÉANT, the European R&E community enjoys high bandwidth connectivity with N. America Initiatives already taken to improve connectivity to Asian- Pacific, Mediterranean and Latin American regions, with support from the European Alliance for the Information Society ( ) –62.5 Million Euros for EU-LA on Information Society Issues –10 Million Euros for Interconnecting Europe & Latin American Researchers

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP CAESAR: Connecting All European and South American Researchers. European initiative to prepare for program Promote EU-LA connectivity through regional connectivity within LA plus a large pipe to Europe Participants: DANTE, NRENs of Spain and Portugal CAESAR Workshop 2002 in Toledo became starting point for CLARA –cooperative organisation for advanced networking in LA –regional network: feasibility study showed budget sufficient to establish advanced connectivity to all LA countries EU has agreed to 80% - 20% cost sharing between EU and LA

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Association of NRENs in LA open to all LA Countries –constituted in Uruguay (like LACNIC) CLARA is not limited time scale and restrictions Will connect LA to Europe and to other regions Cost to connect to the backbone will be the same for every country at equal bandwidth Improve Internet2 connectivity by optimising LA participation in AMPATH

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP CLARA Activities May 2002: Interconnection Initiative Launched (CAESAR Project) June 2002: EU-LA Meeting in Spain. Toledo Statement signed. July 2002: LA Networking Initiatives meet in Brazil. CLARA agreement established. September 2002: Coordinating Committee of CLARA meets in Argentina November 2002: EU-CLARA meeting in Chile May 2003: ALICE Project begun, with participation of CLARA countries June 2003: CLARA statutes approved (in Mexico) December 2003: registration of CLARA in Uruguay

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Comments about CLARA CLARA responds to long-standing need for coordination between LA NRENs. Builds on trust-building already carried out between major partners Offers support for NREN building in other LA countries by provision of support and int’l connectivity

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP ALICE project: May 2003 to April 2006 ALICE - América Latina Interconectada Con Europa ( ) Successor project to CAESAR Coordinated by DANTE, with participation of NRENs from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the CLARA countries, and eventually CLARA itself February 2003: technical definitions complete June 2003: Open tender for provisioning of links March 2004: Link contracts assigned May 2004: Network operational Notes: DANTE 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)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Suggested network topology (tender document) Major connectivity between Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico (at least 45 Mbps) Other countries connect to major nodes (between 10 and 45 Mbps) Large pipe to Europe (at least 155 Mbps)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Probable topology of CLARA network Operator A Operator B Operator C Operator D Operator E Bandwidth characteristics: 155 Mbps backbone ring 622 Mbps to Europe 10 to 45 Mbps spur links satellite link to Cuba

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP The Digital Divide in Latin America – the cost of access circuits to the CLARA network Annual cost for access circuits from CLARA backbone to country point of entry Internal country costs for access circuits 2 Mbps€ € Mbps€ € Mbps€ € The proposed costs of access connections from NRENs to the CLARA backbone were initially extremely high in the case of Central America and Colombia This has required that these countries’ NRENs negotiate better pricing with their national provider

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Final comments on the CLARA network The network will provide connectivity for R&E collaboration traffic (i.e. Internet 2 traffic) within the region and to other regions –Initially connected to GÉANT (Europe) –Expected soon to be connected via Tijuana (MX) to US networks via Los Angeles peering point (agreement with CENIC) this also will provide access to APAN (Pacific Rim), as well as other connected R&E networks Initial backbone ring bandwidth of 155 Mbps (connecting BR-AR-CL-PA-MX) Initial connection to Europe at 622 Mbps from São Paulo –RNP will use 155 Mbps of access capacity initially CLARA network expected to be upgraded soon to support international scientific collaborations between US and South America

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Experimental networking in Latin America Advanced R&E networks provide for today’s connectivity needs of the R&E community In future, with the growth of this community and its needs, new solutions will need to be provided Such solutions are currently being developed and demonstrated in experimental networking testbeds NSF 2002 classification of networking testbeds (beyond Internet2) –Experimental Infrastructure Networks (EIN) provides stable networking infrastructure for application development and demonstration –Networking Research Testbeds (NRT) permits development of networking technology

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Some current experimental optical networking projects in Latin America Chile: G-REUNA - Advanced Applications Testbed Brazil: Project GIGA - Optical Networking and Applications Testbed Both of these are a mixture of EIN and NRT

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP G-REUNA (Chile) experimental network ( ) Phase I of G-REUNA: R&D in optical networking and advanced applications IP/DWDM govt. and telco support 250 km network between Santiago and Valparaiso participation of leading research universities and national academic network (REUNA)

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Project GIGA (Brazil) Partnership between –RNP (Brazilian NREN) –CPqD (telco industry R&D centre in Campinas, SP) –R&D community in industry and universities Build an advanced networking laboratory (GIGA network) for development and demonstration purposes Support R&D subprojects in optical and IP networking technology and advanced applications and services Industry participation (telcos provide the fibres; technology transfer of products and services required) Government funding for 3 years - started December 2002

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP GIGA network: objectives explore user control of optical fibre infrastructure –interconnect 20 academic R&D centres in S.E. Brazil –use of IP/DWDM with Ethernet framing provide Networking Research Testbed (NRT) for optical and IP network development provide Experimental Infrastructure Network (EIN) for development and demonstration of applications in several research areas expected to operate in April 2004.

Paulista Rio de Janeiro Campinas São PauloS. José dos Campos Rio de Janeiro Cachoeira Paulista MAN CP MAN SP MAN RJ Petrópolis Niterói

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Some GIGA R&D subprojects Networking technologies –intelligent optical network with monitoring and control of physical parameters optical amplification, dispersion, equalisation, SNR,... –optical switching architecture control plane: dynamical bandwidth provisioning and mesh restoration provisioning end-to-end optical circuits for specific applications –IP over WDM: unified control plane and integrated network management Applications: –high performance distributed applications, including in HEP, astrophysics, meteorology, health sciences, engineering, biodiversity, etc. –advanced multimedia applications

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP What comes next in Latin America? For RNP and REUNA, experimental networking projects are important for two reasons: –it provides a testbed network for R&D –provides experience in setting up and running a “facilities- based network”, instead of one based on service offerings from telcos. only need the raw physical medium, or perhaps access to lambdas (wavelengths) perhaps the only feasible way to build and use really high capacity networks Next step for RNP and REUNA is to transfer this experience to their production networks –Many well-known examples from other countries A logical consequence is to seek Gbps or lambda networking services for international collaboration.

Clara Michael Stanton - LISHEP Conclusion Both international cooperation (through AmPath and CLARA) and development of experimental networking have percussions: –they provide valuable opportunities for academic user community in LA to collaborate with peer groups in other countries –they permit the acquiring and diffusion of experience in advanced networking technologies, often absent in LA countries –they lead to the provision of high capacity infrastructure networks for scientific cooperation
