Quantum Test Programme
•Part of the QUANTUM project
•build the successor to TEN-34: TEN-155
•not just “more capacity”
•Managed Bandwidth Service (MBS)
•introduce advanced networking technologies
USA
155 Mbps
34/45 Mbps
10 Mbps
Planned Nov. 99
September 1998
Planned Topology
TEN-155 initial service
• Standard best effort IP service
• no guarantees
• no native multicast…
• but a lot of bandwidth, compared to TEN-34
• Not enough, EC funding requires introduction
of advanced network services
• These need to be tested first, and then
deployed
TEN-155 advanced services
• How to test advanced network (IP and ATM)
services?
• Lab. tests are not sufficient, need to evaluate
on large international networks, in an
interdomain environment
• Tests should not interfere with production
network
• Allocate bandwidth and create VPNs
MBS
• Set up VPNs to be used by
• NRNs
• research collaborations
• QTP
•
•
•
•
use of ATM
Operational procedures under definition
first users: ERCIM, Dec. 98
then QTP (Jan./Feb. 99)
How to provide MBS: PoP setup
Goals of QTP
• Evaluate advanced networking technology
and deploy on production network
• IPv6
• Multicast
• IP QoS
• diff-serv
• rsvp
• MPLS
• ATM signalling
Goals of QTP (cont)
• Other
• QoS monitoring (ippm, rtfm, other?)
• Route monitoring
• Policy control
• All technologies work to some extent in lab
and intra-domain environments
• What about WAN and interdomain? Main goal
of QTP
TF-TANT
• Joint DANTE/TERENA task force that will do
the work (formely known as TF-TEN)
• Chaired by DANTE (Christoph Graf)
• Secreterial work by TERENA
• Same group will carry out work under
TERENA WG-LLT
• Open group
• vendor involvement is encouraged (telebit,
cisco, ibm, ascend, bt?, others?)
Status of QTP
• 1st meeting held Nov. 5, 6 1998 in Cambridge
• list of experiments has been defined
• experiment leaders and participants have
been nominated
• To Do:
•
•
•
•
•
specify in more detail the experiments
define requirements (bw, hardware requirements)
specify a project plan
meet again end of Jan. 99 to plan activities
…evaluate and plan deployment on production
network
