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
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 LANREN’s clients, and is designated as an
Access Point
Hardware of the Network
• Each one of the five main nodes in CLARA
network is a Cisco 12006 Router donated by
Cisco

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
CLARA Groups
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
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
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
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

CLARA Roadmap
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
