  1. AMPATH For the Joint Engineering Team SC 2001 Denver, Colorado presented by Julio E. Ibarra Principal Investigator November 15, 2001

  2. What is AMPATH? • AMPATH is a project led by FIU, in collaboration with Global Crossing (GC), to interconnect the R&E networks in South and Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico to US and non-US R&E networks via Internet2's Abilene network

  3. What is AMPATH? • AMPATH is built upon Global Crossing’s terrestrial and submarine optical-fiber networks

  4. What is AMPATH? • 10 DS3s from Global Crossing • Cisco GSR 12012 • Lucent CBX 500 ATM switch • Juniper M10 router • Collocation in the NAP of the Americas • OC3 to Abilene

  5. Service Area • Argentina • Brazil • Chile • Colombia • Mexico • Panama • Peru • Puerto Rico • US Virgin Islands • Venezuela • Costa Rica

  7. AMPATH Network • Flexible and Scaleable • SDH Infrastructure: • Avoids ATM overhead • Benefits Participant NRNs not using ATM • ATM infrastructure: • PVCs, PVPs • Direct peering between Participants • Optical infrastructure supporting wavelenghts • Direct layer 2 or layer 3 connectivity to other countries connected to the AMPATH network.

  9. Fifth Tier-1 NAP • Strategically located to serve Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern Europe and Africa • Close to major carrier POPs and 7 worldwide undersea cable landings

  10. International Cable Landings

  11. Win-Win Opportunity • AMPATH is seeking connectivity to the US Federal networks: • NREN, NISN, Esnet, DREN • Universities and research organizations using AMPATH are very interested in connectivity to the US Federal networks • US federal agency projects require network connectivity to South American countries

  18. NSF 0123388 Award FIU AMPATH Workshop to Identify Areas of Scientific Collaboration between the US and the AMPATH Service Area, August 15 – 17, 2001 AmericasPATH (AMPATH)  Computational Science and Engineering Applications http://www.ampath.fiu.edu/APPLICATIONS/Appendix A.htm Tell us about your applications. Complete the Request for Application Information at: http://www.ampath.fiu.edu/application_info_req.htm

  19. Connectivity Scenarios • US Federal networks peer with AMPATH in Miami? • AMPATH peers with US Federal networks at an NGIX? • STAR TAP? • MAX GigaPOP?

  20. Questions • Establish an NGIX in Miami at the NAP of the Americas? • Other cities being considered? • NYC? • Seattle? • Would connectivity from Miami provide cost savings? • What are the obstacles?
