INTRODUCTION
============
In the development of the ALICE2 project, CLARA is working in the
consecution of links and capacities for the network in Latin-America.
The CLARA’s focus is in obtaining Irrestrictible Right of Use (IRU)
capacities that will cut down recurrent costs of the network. CLARA
took another step in the fulfillment of this goal by carrying out a
tender process for links in December 2009. As product of this process,
three new links for CLARA where defined: Guatemala to El Salvador
(OUT-1), El Salvador to Panama (STM-1) and Guayaquil to Lima (STM-1).
It is worth mentioning that the link between Guatemala and El Salvador
is the first IRU achieved by CLARA in the Central-America zone.
Another important thing is that the link between Guayaquil and Lima
will replace the last DS3 link in the network, and makes all CLARA
links at least of STM-1 (155 Mbps) capacity. This deployment plan
contains the steps and resources required to implement this new links
in CLARA’s network.
2.
DEPLOYMENT PLAN
===============
The CLARA’s technical team needs to implement these new links that
will improve CLARA’s network by replacing other smaller connections.
It is worth mentioning the achievement of the first optical
Central-America wavelength link of 2.5 Gigabits/sec between Guatemala
and El Salvador. This deployment plan contains the details of the
tasks and responsibilities in order to complete the activations on the
required dates. The links to be installed product of this tender are:

As result of the last tender process, the new CLARA’s network topology
will be:

The connection of San Jose – Costa Rica is shown to Panama, and this
is not the current situation and there is no change in the link
defined jet, but CLARA will have to move this connection as it is
shown in the graph by June 2010.

For Guatemala’s link, the provider agreed to deliver the circuit with
two 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. CLARA will use this option because
it will represent lower costs in the equipments.

SPECIFIC TASKS
==============
1.
Guatemala – El Salvador installation
------------------------------------
The Guatemala – El Salvador link is the first OTU1 in Central-America
and common practice is to deliver it with a DWDM interface. This type
of interface requires that CLARA buys DWDM capable equipments on each
side, and it presents a challenge between equipments price and
bandwidth efficiency. Due to the cost of these interfaces, CLARA asked
Navega the delivery of the link in 2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and
the provider agreed.
In Guatemala is optional to have a switch or router, due to that all
the interfaces will be Ethernet exclusively. In El Salvador it is
required a router, due to the STM-1 interface that will connect it to
Panama and the transit of Guatemala’s traffic through this PoP. In the
following figure is shown the technical solution for the link:
Figure no. 2. Guatemala – El Salvador link connections
The tasks required for this links and the date limits are the
following:
a.
Define PoP’s locations (January 15/2010): Define where the links
will be installed and if there could be change in locations.
Responsible: Gustavo Garcia (Technical Manager)
b.
Define the required equipment and request quotes to providers
(January 20/2010): The equipments required on each side of the
link will be defined by the NEG and the quotes must be requested.
After the analysis with Florencio Utreras and the NEG, the best
option is to use the current router and switch equipments as
temporary solution until the next equipments tender process that
will take place in April 2010.
Responsible: Gustavo Garcia (Technical Manager), Alex Moura (NEG)
c.
Send sales orders to providers (February 15/2010)

2.
El Salvador – Panama installation
---------------------------------
The El Salvador - Panama's link is a STM-1 SDH connection. This link
requires the installation of STM-1 cards in Panama and El Salvador’s
routers. Today, the router in Panama has 4 interfaces, all of them
occupied, and the router in El Salvador has 1 already occupied too. In
Panama, CLARA needs to buy a STM-1 card for Panama’s router and
replace it for a DS3 card that is installed on it. The following list
contains the tasks for the El Salvador – Panama's link activation:
