The Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br) has deployed Cisco 100 Gbps IP and IP/DWDM technologies to expand the PTT.br Internet Exchange’s largest facility. The deployment features the Cisco ASR 9000 Series router and covers Sao Paulo and other major cities. The network will include VPLS (virtual private LAN services) and IP over DWDM at 100 Gbps.
The Sao PauloNIC.br PTT.br backbone, which connects more than 400 autonomous systems from Brazilian states and other countries, has seen a significant increase in bandwidth requirements driven by the growing high-speed Internet service and the number of subscribers in the Brazilian market. Cisco said its upgrade ensures NIC.br can meet its growing Internet Protocol capacity needs without forcing an upgrade to any existing fiber infrastructure.
