In FP6 - IST WP2003:

Research networking testbeds

“To integrate and validate, in the context of user-driven large-scale testbeds, the state-of-the-art technology that is essential for preparing the future upgrades in the infrastructure deployed across Europe.”

Research Networking testbeds in FP6

Examples:

2 large IPv6 testbeds (34 M€ total, 18 M€ EC contribution) addressing wide-scale deployment of native IPv6 within commercial and academic environments + complementary set of smaller IPv6 testbeds

Testbed of photonic terabit routers

1 large Grid testbed (13 M€ total, 9 M€ EC contribution) addressing scientific and commercial-type applications ranging from high-energy physics to industrial simulation + complementary set of smaller Grid testbeds

Research Networking testbeds in FP5

Integrating, testing, validating and demonstrating new networking technologies - including disruptive technologies - and services (IP over photonics, GMPLS, wireless access, network security and privacy, new routing and protocol schemes, etc. ) in real-world settings and production environments

Roadmaps and strategic guidance from IST community for infrastructure development

Fostering interoperability across different scientific and industrial disciplines to achieve broader-scale up-take of new state-of-the-art infrastructure technology and promoting the creation of standards

WorkProgramme 2003

The work of the Strategic Objective “Research Networking Testbeds” is in support of the activities carried out in the

area of Research Infrastructures on high-capacity and high-speed communications network for all researchers in Europe

(GEANT) and specific high-performance Grids.
