AMPATH: Network of the Americas
Heidi L. Alvarez
Grid Workshop February 7-8
Rio de Janeiro,Brazil
Florida International University AMPATH
What is AMPATH?
• AMPATH is a project led by FIU, in collaboration with Global Crossing (GC), to interconnect the R&E networks in South and Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico to US and non-US R&E networks via Internet2's Abilene network
Florida International University AMPATH
What is AMPATH?• The AMPATH Network is built upon Global
Crossing’s terrestrial and submarine optical-fiber networks
• But AMPATH is more than a Network for the Americas…
Fifth Tier-1 NAPStrategically located to serve Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern Europe and AfricaClose to major carrier POPs and 7 worldwide undersea cable landings
Florida International University AMPATH
What is AMPATH?
• 10 DS3s from Global Crossing
• Cisco GSR 12012
• Lucent CBX 500 ATM switch
• Juniper M10 router
• Collocation in the NAP of the Americas
• Shared OC3 to Abilene with the South Florida GigaPOP

More Observatory Opportunities
• In addition to Gemini and Arecibo, AmPATH can provide connectivity for other US funded projects in the Service Area. For example:– Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)
Project—Chile– The Inter-American Institute for Global
Change Research—Brazil– Yale Southern Observatory—Argentina
Florida International University AMPATH
NGIX in Miami?
• AMPATH is seeking connectivity to the US Federal networks:– NREN, NISN, Esnet, DREN– Universities and research organizations
using AMPATH are very interested in connectivity to the US Federal networks
• US federal agency projects require network connectivity to South American countries

• What Can You Do with a 10Gbps Network? We hereby challenge the international research community to demonstrate applications that benefit from huge amounts of bandwidth!
• How will you use a 2.5Gbps (10Gbps? 40Gbps?) global network? How will you change your application codes?
• How will you expand the complexity of the problem you are solving?
• We welcome your participation in iGrid 2002, to showcase novel techniques for problem solving enabled by newly affordable global wavelengths.
• iGrid 2002 is soliciting demonstrations that showcase both technological innovations and application advancements requiring high-end optical networks.

Goals• Fully utilize the capacity of
the donated DS3s:– Science and education
applications– Partnerships
• Activities– Optical wavelengths– Optical routing– IPv6– Multicast– QoS– Access Grid– MPLS tunnels– Wireless to wired
networks
Florida International University AMPATH
GoalsStrengthen weak links:
– Shared OC3 to Abilene will not scale to support 10 DS3s• Planned upgrade to an OC12 this year
– Access to the US Federal Research and Education Networks• Attract the US Federal Networks to Miami
– Fund a persistent link to StarLight
Florida International University AMPATH
Goals• Position AMPATH as a future lambda
connect point directly linking optical networks in the AMPATH Service Area to each other, to StarLight, and beyond
• Provide value added services in Miami at FIU and the NAP of the Americas– Global Digital Electronic Collaborative
(GloDEC) Learning Network (NSF CISE-MII Proposal Pending)
– Digital Libraries– Data Servers– Disaster Recovery Facilities– Network Security Monitoring
