Distributed European Testbed laboratories

Objective

New networking technologies will be integrated into the interconnected EUROLABS testbeds, for all projects that wish to take advantage of the offered support facilities. The partners bring a set of next generation technologies and applications, and additions are guaranteed via the FP6 projects in which they are already active. Connectivity via GNT, 6NET and EurooIX is available. The key features that distinguish the EUROLABS project are: The extension of existing testbeds in Basel (the MultiComLab) and Brussels (the EuroDemo Lab) with additional testbeds in Nice, Heidelberg and Budapest, and with enhanced features. These are well-established sites for broadband network and applications testing.

EUROLABS will focus its activities on Internet technologies in a heterogeneous (and mobile) environment; Connectivity to selected centres around the world, using the facilities of GNT; A core of technical staff at the testbeds and their experience of the needs of researchers, and a core of professional staff familiar with - and active in - the IST, eEurope, ETSI and ITU programmes, skilled in the consensus building process, and able to summarise the key issues. EUROLABS will exploit and enhance the facilities and skills of the FP5 project NGN-LAB.

The IPv6 and QoS infrastructure will be extended with additional centres in Nice, Heidelberg and Budapest, each having particular expertise. They have been chosen based on their existing infrastructure, the connected user community, and their geographical location. New features that have been identified are: security, mobility, Gigabit Ethernet first-mile connectivity to European Grid/GNT projects. EUROLABS provides a network of interconnected distributed testbeds for projects to test their applications and network functionalities. Each centre may specialize in a certain technology and all features will be transferable to all sites.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)
