2. 2 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes National Research Network (RNP) Network interconnecting the PoP’s of all states

3. 3 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes RNP2 The RNP2 backbone RNP2 started in July 2000 –ATM technology for PoPs with large traffic –Frame Relay for PoPs with smaller traffic 27 PoPs in the main cities and capitals Gateway access at 155 Mbps Two international connections: –155 Mbps connected to Internet2 via Chicago STARTAP –45 Mbps connected to Internet2 via Florida’s GigaPoP (Academic Network of Americas Path, AmPath) Should connect all Federal Research Institutes

4. 4 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes Academic Network at São Paulo (ANSP) Started in 1989 with the Bitnet access (after some test in Rio de Janeiro of Alberto Santoro) First Brazilian network to be connect with Internet in 1991 It is one of the main international connections Connects the academic networks of the São Paulo universities and research institutes 2001: agreement with NSF and UCAID allow connection to STARTAP to all cooperative projects International traffic has independent link at 155 Mbps. It is the PoP of RNP at state of São Paulo

7. 7 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes New Program: TIDIA New project from FAPESP (Foundation for Science Support of the State of São Paulo) http://www.tidia.fm.usp.br/ Intend to give financial support for the development of technologies related to the high speed networks Improve the qualification of human resources Development of new technologies, products and services Investment of at least US$ 4 millions Received 123 proposals for new projects

8. 8 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes Rede Rio Network connecting the universities and research institutes of Rio de Janeiro. Two main connections: 155Mbps with RNP and 34Mbps with IMPSAT UERJ CBPF

10. 10 08/Dec/01 S. F. Novaes Conclusions Connection is improving in Brazil and all Latin America High Energy Physics have played a major role in this evolution However the HEP does not always get the due retribution e.g. UERJ with the largest HEP group still have a 8 Mbps link while RedeRio is operating at 155 Mbps.
