Abstract :
In 2005, the creation of the network for the Kyatera project began, with the declared goal of designing the most advanced and innovative research and experimental network of Latin America. This paper describes the groundwork for the development of such network in terms of its requirements, functionalities, provided services, enabled researches and design concepts. Structurally, the Kyatera network is composed of three sub-networks that will enable parallel experiments and research to be carried out in optical, networking and applications domains. Given the services and the technologies deployed, it will promote the development of joint experiments with peer advanced research centers both national and international
