Evolution of the Research and Education network in Brazil

RNP Celebrates 30 Anniversary!

The first network in Brazil to be part of the global Internet reached 30 years of age in 2022 and continues to evolve to the present day, providing an ecosystem for education, research, and innovation. In 1992, the hosting in Rio de Janeiro of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development made it possible that RNP, until then a project of the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology, to gain the role of providing Internet infrastructure for the event. From this first connection, there was built the first Internet network in Brazil, connecting 10 states and the Federal District. This meant that, in principle, Internet access was provided for academic ends so that researchers in Brazil could be connected with each other and with their pairs in other countries … Read More

How do we handle the next leap in traffic level?

September 12, 2022

The focus of the 9th SIG-NGN Meeting presentations and discussion was on future network architectures that R&E networking that need to manage the next leap in capacity requirements from next-generation Research Infrastructures (HL-LHC, SKA, Vera Rubin Observatory, and more). The meeting addressed technologies such as spectrum sharing, underlay and overlay networking, L2 packet inspection, P4, and more, and discussed ideas for how these technologies can be used by R&E networks to do traffic engineering, capacity management, and support for demanding research applications. AmLight presented NRENs challenges to provide sub-second network monitoring and performance evaluation metrics to support real-time high-performance Service Level Agreement (SLA)-driven science applications  … Read More
