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 user-driven 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
Complementarity with other activities INTEGATED VIEW Research Networks - Test-beds Test-bedsSupporting the use of advanced testbeds for integration and validation of next generation communications, networking, applications and services GEANT Production network matching the needs of Europe’s Researchers

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
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
