Hi All!

Who can provide a VLAN from SaoPaolo to Frankfurt for remote IX.BR
participation? Please contact me off-list.

I see there is only one undersea cable going directly from Brazil to
Europe. Why?

And this single cable, Atlantis-2, has very little capacity so its usage is mostly voice traffic. 
There is a new cable in construction called EllaLink (https://ella.link/) that when installed will add plenty of capacity to this route, but most Brazil - Germany traffic goes thru the US nowadays. 

Alternative routes before EllaLink comes into operation would be one of the Brazil-Africa cables (one to Cameroon, the other to Angola) and then to Europe.
