Objective
Take the initial steps for construction of a Europe-wide broadband data network necessary for remote extensive numerical simulations within the aeronautical community. A privileged area for cooperation in the European aeronautical community will be this sophisticated and trustworthy heavy numerical simulation, often named "supercomputing".
A key issue in such a perspective encompassing industry project teams, academic and applied research teams involved in common simulation issues (such as Turbulence and Combustion in the ERCOFTAC community), is that of a common data network, enabling a controlled access to either computational tools (software, supercomputers, high parallel computers), or large numerical databases. Such a network assumes a netted backbone, irrigating a large distribution network.
It can be shown that this backbone should be in the 100 Mbit/s range, taking into account current computer power and model complexities. By the time EASNet becomes a reality, state of the art will have improved both in computing power and in model complexities. A factor of 10 must be taken into account and Gbit/s networking will have to be operated. Such unfamiliar networking issues in the environment of international data links, accounting for strong preliminary requirements such as confidentiality protection and operability, require a common appraisal from qualified aeronautical community representatives.
The 2 year action covered by this contract includes, on one hand, a realistic study of the most critical point, confidentiality protection. Trans-Europe networking experiences between partners will enable (if the critical issue of PTT lines cost is solved), on the other hand, a common know-how to develop for already experienced networking teams.
These studies and experience on representative pilot applications will enable the build up of reliable specifications for the progressive construction of a full size EASNet, eg:
EASNet -1 2 Mbit/s backbone over 6 countries in 1992;
EASNet -2 100 Mbit/s backbone over 8 countries in 1994;
EASNet -n 1Gbit/s backbone & 10 or 100 Mbit individual access in 1998.
These usage and management specifications will provide the necessary input to PTT's and network industry.
