Test-beds FP5  FP6
 Extensive Test-beds in FP5 on
IPv6 and Grids
 In FP6 - IST WP2003:
3.4 Research networking test-beds
“To integrate and validate, in the context of userdriven large scale test-beds, the state-of-the-art
technology that is essential for preparing the future
upgrades in the infrastructure deployed across
Europe.”

IST WP2003: Test-beds
3.4 Research Networking Test-beds
focus on:
 Integrating, testing, validating and demonstrating new
networking technologies - including disruptive
technologies - and services (IP over photonics, GMPLS,
new routing and protocol schemes, etc. ) in real-world
settings and production environments.
 Roadmaps and strategic guidance 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

IST WP2003: 3.4 Test-beds
 Addressed in 2nd Call (October 2003)
IPs, NoEs and STRPs
 Projects to start mid 2004
 20-30 MEuro Funding available in this Call
(50 MEuro in total for Test-beds in IST)
 Follow the good experience in FP5:
 Large multidisciplinary consortium with many
actors from different sectors involved
 Prepare the introduction of new technologies
into GEANT
European Commission - Research Networks
Conclusions
 With the support of the IST Programme and in the
context of the eEurope action plan, a new
generation backbone for research has been
launched - GEANT
 In parallel, EU is investing in FP6 in networking
test-beds such as IP over Optics, mobility and
terabit networking to support highly demanding
user community
