  2. Agenda • CLARA Network Overview • CLARA Organizational Structure • Network Activation • CLARA Roadmap

  3. CLARA – Cooperación Latino Americana de Redes Avanzadas

  4. CLARA Network Overview • The CLARA organization – Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks – will be responsible for the implementation and management of a network infrastructure that will interconnect the national academic networks of several Latin American countries

  5. ALICE Project • América Latina Interconectada con Europa • Started – June 2003 • Coordinator – DANTE • Partners – FCCN, RedIris, Renater, GARR and 17 LA-NRENs • Total budget – 12.5 M Euros (20% LA, 80% EU)

  6. Topology of the Network

  7. Topology of the Network • CLARA connectivity at the backbone is comprised of SDH circuits provided by Global Crossing which is the main provider of the connectivity • When a LA-NREN makes a connection to CLARA network, it will be made through one of the five main nodes deployed in the CLARA backbone • This connection gives access to CLARA backbone for the LA-NREN and the LA-NREN’s clients, and is designated as an Access Point

  8. Hardware of the Network • Each one of the five main nodes in CLARA network is a Cisco 12006 Router donated by Cisco

  13. Agenda • CLARA Network Overview • CLARA Organizational Structure • Network Activation • CLARA Roadmap

  14. CLARA Groups • The CLARA designation stands for the infrastructure which integrates the advanced network, and is also a profitless civil association headquartered in the city of Montevideo (UY) that represents the interests of all the organizations that are part of the project

  15. CLARA Groups

  16. Technical Committee • Keep CLARA organization at the forefront of IP network advanced services • Coordinating the NEG and the NOC groups • Provide the best information and communications flow between the other groups regarding technical and political matters to the CLARA members • Takes the key role in developing the technical sessions and the regular meetings of CLARA’s staff

  17. NOC • Based in Mexico City (MX) • Headed by CUDI (Corporación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de Internet) • Group responsible for the day-to-day administration, control, monitoring and operation of all physical and logical infrastructures that composes the backbone of CLARA network • The work of CLARA NOC aims to assure high level of performance on the operation of the network and its interconnections

  18. NEG • Headquartered in Brazil, within the RNP (Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa) facilities • The CLARA NEG is responsible for all the network engineering including definition of the IP addressing and routing plan, and definition of the policies to be adopted for the advanced IP services backbone

  19. NEG • In conjunction with CLARA NOC, CLARA NEG will establish the maintenance routine activities needed to the good functioning of the network, as well as problem report procedures, failure recovery procedures, and procedures to scale the problems taking them to NEG whenever they cannot be solved in CLARA NOC extent only

  27. Agenda • CLARA Network Overview • CLARA Organizational Structure • Network Activation • CLARA Roadmap

  28. NRENs in Latin America • With the exception of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela, the NREN’s are based on commercial Internet services at low speeds (frequently 256Kbps to 2 Mbps) • Most NREN´s in Latin America are still getting organized, but all countries in the region are betting on developing their organizations and infrastructure in the coming months • A clear common view exists on the importance of this type of infrastructure for the development of science, technology and education

  29. Next Steps TO GEANT

  30. Projects in Advanced NetworkHigh Energy Physics • Argentina – FCEN-UBA and Fermilab (Chicago) • Mexico – HEP (High Energy Physics) - UNAM

  31. Projects in Advanced NetworkAstronomy - VLBI • Brazil – ROEN (Rádio-Observatório Espacial do Nordeste) • Mexico – INAOE (Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica, y Electrónica) • Joint efforts with UMASS

  32. Projects in Advanced NetworkAtmospheric Studies - LBA • Brazil – INPA (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas na Amazônia) • Argentina – FCEN-UBA and CONICET • Mexico - UNAM

  33. Projects in Advanced NetworkComputer Science - LBA • Mexico – High Performance Computing Center - UNAM • Argentina – Supercomputing - FCEN-UBA • Brazil – Grid Computing - UFRJ

  34. Projects in Advanced NetworkComputer Science • First huge test of the network – sc2004 • Support for the Brazilian Physicists be able to participate on the challenge from the 6th to 12th of November/2004 • Pittsburg – PA – EUA • 500 Mbps provisioned to this experiment

  35. Projects in Advanced NetworkComputer Science • Connection UERJ (Rio) to USP (S. Paulo) via GIGA • Connection S. Paulo to Madrid via CLARA • Connection Madrid-EUA via GÉANT

  36. Advanced Network Projects in Advanced Network • Using videoconference systems and the high speed backbone to present virtual classes

  37. Roadmap • IPv6 • Acquire a /32 block (xxxx:xxxx::/32) • The address plan is already under conclusion • Once ready forward the solicitation to LACNIC • Upon received starts the deployment

  38. Roadmap • MPLS – deployment of a MPLS domain within CLARA backbone • Deployment and activation of CLARA-NOC services – management, monitoring tools, trouble tickets, etc. • Security considerations – deployment of a security framework for accessing the network advanced services • Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Engineering

  39. CLARA Network • CLARA – Cooperación LatinoAmericana de Redes Avanzadas
