  1. Quantum Test Programme Roberto Sabatino DANTE Cambridge, UK 9 November 1998 Roberto.Sabatino@dante.org.uk http://www.dante.net http://www.dante.net/quantum/QTP

  2. 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

  3. USA 155 Mbps 34/45 Mbps 10 Mbps Planned Nov. 99 September 1998 Planned Topology

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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)

  7. How to provide MBS: PoP setup

  8. Goals of QTP • Evaluate advanced networking technology and deploy on production network • IPv6 • Multicast • IP QoS • diff-serv • rsvp • MPLS • ATM signalling

  9. 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

  10. 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?)

  11. 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

  12. Current list • IP and ATM multicast (Robert Stoy) • Diff. Services (Tiziana Ferrari) • RSVP (Simon Leinen) • RSVP to ATM SVC mapping (Tiziana Ferrari) • IPv6 (Simon Mybroe) • MPLS (Jean-Marc Uze’) • Policy Control (Victor Reijs) • ATM signalling (Guenther Schmittner) • MBS performance/quality measurement (DANTE) • QoS measurment (Tiziana Ferrari) • VPNs, WDM (Victor Reijs)

  13. Mail, Web information • The co-ordinator of QTP: • Christoph.Graf@dante.org.uk • nep@dante.org.uk • Informational Web pages at • http://www.dante.net/quantum/QTP • Mail list: • tf-ten@terena.nl, will become tf-tant@terena.nl • to subscribe: • http://www.dante.net/quantum/QTP
