Developments in the South Atlantic: Exploring models for sharing submarine cable capacity at TNC19
June 16-20, 2019
Bandwidth in the South Atlantic is increasing for the R&E community. In 2018, four events occurred. GEANT and CLARA announced an IRU with EllaLink, connecting Europe and Latin America. FIU signed an IRU with Angola Cables on the South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) and interconnection in Fortaleza to the Monet cable connecting Brazil to Florida. AmLight-ExP announced an IRU with Angola Cable for spectrum from Florida to Fortaleza and Sao Paulo. The SACS submarine cable system started interconnecting Fortaleza and Luanda, Angola. Dr. Michael Stanton, (Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa – RNP (Brazilian NREN)), Mr. Len Lotz, (TENET), and Dr. Heidi Morgan, (Information Science Institute (ISI) Internet and Networked Systems group at the University of Southern California (USC)) reported on the AARCLight study and status of network infrastructure via the South Atlantic at the TNC19 conference which took place in Tallinn, Estonia … Read More

AmLight-INT: In-band Network Telemetry to support big data applications at TNC19

June 16-20, 2018
AmLight SDN network is being expanded to support in-band network telemetry using P4 and programmable switches. The goal is to support bandwidth-intensive science drivers with very strict SLAs, such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project. Jeronimo Bezerra presented at TNC19 Conference our experience in replacing the current SDN switches for PISA switches as well as trying in-band network telemetry in the field in partnership with NoviFlow switch manufacturer … Read More
