Research Networking testbeds in FP6
 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 FP5
 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
WorkProgramme 2003

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
Links with Research Infrastructures
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 highspeed communications network for all researchers in Europe
(GEANT) and specific high-performance Grids.
Vision - creating an e-infrastructure…

Addressed in 2nd Call (Jun - Oct 2003)
IPs, NoEs, STREPs, SSA’s, CA’s
Projects to start mid 2004
Approx. 25 MEuro funding available in this Call (50 MEuro in
total for Research Networking Testbeds in IST)
Follow the good experience in FP5:
 Multidisciplinary consortium with many actors from
different sectors involved
 Prepare the introduction of new technologies into the
eInfrastructures of the future
