History and Government

• Spain and Portugal were the first maritime colonial powers in Europe (from 15th Century)– In 1494 Spain and Portugal

divided American territory between themselves by the Treaty of Tordesillas

– Later, Portuguese colonies expanded westwards, following the rivers

• Former Portuguese dominions in South America became Brazil (1822)– Brazilians speak

Portuguese• 3 levels of government:

national – state – municipal– Democracy restored in

1980s after 21 years of military rule

– Elections every 4 years– Voting obligatory

Tordesillas Line (1494)

to Spain to Portugal

RNP timeline (1989 – present)

1989 Began as a project of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MCTI), to link (mainly public) universities and labs

1992 First IP network with links at 9.6 and 64 kbps connected 11 capitals, and linked to the US at Fermilab.

1995 RNP supported the launch of the commercial Internet in Brazil, and carried commercial traffic for 4 years.

1999 RNP became a non-profit company to serve only R&E community, through a management contract with MCTI and the Ministry of Education(MEC)

2000 ATM and FR network with links at 10s of Mbps2002 Recognised as a “Social Organisation” (like a Quango), which allows

contracts with the government without tender2005 First Gbps (2.5 and 10) links in network2009 First 10G international link2010 Links to over 300 institutions, including 130 universities2013 Ministries of Culture (MinC) and Health (MS) join RNP programme

Main RNP activities

• Connectivity provider– National backbone, with a Point of Presence (PoP) in each state– Metro networks in 27 capitals and some other large cities– Access links to hundreds of campi in non-capital cities

• Advanced services– Similar to those offered by other advanced R&E networks

• Special services– Telemedicine, Training, Cloud computing

• R&D (with participation of academic community)– Development of advanced services– Testbed networks: Future Internet and SDN– Support for specific communities: High-energy Physics, Astronomy,

Cultura (cyberperformances)

Federal Universities (IFES) and Federal Institutes (IF) with high capacity connections

connected at 1 Gbps

to be connected at high capacity by 2014

RNP client institutions 2012-2014

RNP backbone in 2014

• Phase 6 of backbone (MPLS) deployed in 2011 (links of 10 and 3 Gbps) using Oi infrastructure• Connects capitals, state

networks, + RNP metro networks in capitals

• Expansion from 2012:• Manaus (upgrade to 1G)• 6 capitals to 10G• First fibre links to Boa

Vista and Macapá in extreme North

• Redundant international link to Boa Vista

1 Gbps

2014: terrestrial fibre links to all state capitals

International connectivity

• RNP provides full service Internet connectivity– Collaboration: uses global R&E networks (GEANT,

Internet2, ESnet, regional networks, etc) through own links to the US and through RedClara (Latin American network)

– Commodity: transit and peering with commercial ISPs• Own links: shared with ANSP (S. Paulo state R&E

network) – part of Amlight project with US– Since 2009: 20 Gbps– From 2013: 40 Gbps

• RedClara: LA regional network– Partial finance through EC 2003-2012– External links with GEANT and US networks

Brazil-US links from 1Q2013

1. ANSP: 2x 10G linksS Paulo – Miami

- (Pacific) via Santiago (SAC)- (Atlantic) direct (SAM)2. RNP: 2x 10G links

S Paulo – Miami - (Pacific) direto (SAM)- (Atlantic) via Rio de Janeiro

& Fortaleza (SAC) (+ Redundant terrestrial links)

3. RedCLARA: • 1G link

Panama – Miami (SAC)• 10G terrestrial link Santiago

– Bueos Aires - S Paulo

SAC: Level3 (US) / Latin America Nautilus (IT)SAM: Telefonica (ES)

Eurocentric view of global R&E networking

RedClara: 3Q2013Link S. Paulo – GEANT to be upgraded to 5 Gbps in 1Q2014(physically current links BR-EU pass through the US – no direct cables)

Trans South Atlantic cables and projects Planned (2013)1.WASACE (Brazil – Nigeria) 2.SAEx (Brazil – South Africa)3.BRICS (Brazil – South Africa)

also Telebrás plans:4.Brazil – Europe5.Brazil – Angola

Clearly, not all of these will be funded, but some will!Fortaleza strategically located, with several cables also to North America (USA), and to SE Brazil and ArgentinaCross S Atlantic links would make significant changes to global topology

RNP global collaborations in vídeo

• These have developed recently, mainly in collaboration in non-scientific applications, and have included the following projects with AP countries

– Cyberperformances in Chiang Mai (APAN33) and Daejeon (APAN36)

– Japanese TV coverage of global sporting events in Brazil

CP@APAN33 and CP@APAN36

• Participation of dance group of prof Ivani Santana at the Federal U of Bahia in Salvador

• Arthron (media orchestration) technology developed for RNP by Digital Video lab (LaVid) at Federal U of Paraíba in João Pessoa.

• RNP collaborated with networks in US and Korea, and indirectly for CP@APAN33 with APAN members from Singapore and Thailand to provision required circuits

SHV at London Olympic Games 2012

• SHV (which uses 8K video and 22:2 sound) was developed by NHK and publicly demonstrated at Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan

• Good demos need to be of visually interesting and detailed subjects: e.g. cultural and sports events

• First large-scale international demo at the 2012 Olympic Games in London with transmission of 8K content to Japan using international research networks (Janet (UK), GEANT, Internet2, Japanese networks)

• The necessary bandwidth for transmission of compressed media is about 350 Mbps

SHV and Brazil

• Brazil has appropriate cultural and sports subjects for SHV

• In 2013 NHK came to Brazil to capture video of– Carnival in Rio de Janeiro – FIFA Confederations Cup in Rio and Belo Horizonte

• Since March 2013 NTT has been evaluating RNP’s networks for possible future transmission of SHV to Japan during the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games

• End-to-end transmission of SHV has already been demonstrated satisfactorily in both directions.

We currently make two network paths between Brazil and Japan.

And doing a long term network test with actual SHV signal stream as well as the active probing traffic.

RNP’s role in the SHV project in 2014

• Hosting the equipment to be used for media transmission to PV sites in Brazil and in other countries (US and JP)

• Providing connectivity to PV sites using its own network and those of international partners

• Co-hosting a PV site in Rio de Janeiro with Brazilian TV Globo

Conclusion

• Brazil offers extensive opportunities for scientific and cultural collaborations on a global scale.

• RNP has demonstrated the capacity to support the networking needs of such collaborations, and welcomes the opportunity to extend their scope.
