Rubin Observatory\u2019s Long-Haul Network (LHN), as presented at <a href=\"https:\/\/tical2025.redclara.net\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICAL 2025<\/a> by Dr. Julio Ibarra, demonstrating how research and education networks successfully supported one of the most demanding data workflows in modern astronomy. Through AmLight Express &amp; Protect and AmLight Next Frontier, the LHN was designed and operated to deliver guaranteed 40 Gbps, high-availability connectivity between the observatory in Chile and the SLAC data center in the United States, supporting the transfer of up to 20 TB of data per night and near\u2013real-time astronomical alerts within 60 seconds. Backed by a strict service-level agreement and extensive end-to-end monitoring using perfSONAR, packet telemetry, and optical instrumentation, AmLight ensured deterministic performance, rapid fault detection, and automated recovery, validating that the network consistently met its requirements and effectively supported the scientific mission of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory<\/p>\n<p>Presentation can be found here (on Spanish Red de Larga Distancia del Observatorio Vera Rubin: Impulsada por las Redes de Investigaci\u00f3n y Educaci\u00f3n): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ibarra_Tical25_Vera-Rubin-LHN_20251111_v2_ES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ibarra_Tical25_Vera-Rubin-LHN_20251111_v2_ES.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,6,67],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6424"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6424"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6428,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6424\/revisions\/6428"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
