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

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)

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-NRENs 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

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 CLARAs 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

NRENs in Latin America
  • With the exception of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
    Mexico and Venezuela, the NRENs are based on
    commercial Internet services at low speeds
    (frequently 256Kbps to 2 Mbps)
  • Most NRENs 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
