Next generation optical network for Broadband European Leadership phase 2

Ziel

To achieve the strategic goal of broadband for all, an appropriate core/metro network is required to provide cost-effective transport of end-user traffic with the required level of QoS.

Based on the results of the NOBEL project, the main goal of the Integrated Project NOBEL phase 2 is to carry out analysis, feasibility studies and experimental validations of innovative network solutions and technologies for flexible, scalable and reliable optical networks, thus enabling broadband services for all.

Specifically, the main objectives are:
- to define network architectures for core and metro networks, providing both packet and circuit switched connections in an integrated network scenario and supporting both fixed and mobile services
- to assess and demonstrate these architectures in term of scalability and end-to-end interoperability through network emulations and experiments
- to study and evaluate multi-layer traffic engineering and resilience schemes in different service and business scenarios
- to perform techno- and socio-economic analysis of network solutions to demonstrate their cost-effectiveness and impact on improving the penetration of broadband services
- to identify and develop enhanced solutions for the Control and Management Planes and their collaboration for provisioning of end-to-end broadband services, with focus on GMPLS networks
- to investigate advanced architectures for burst/packet based optical networks;
- to evaluate robust transport technologies and node architectures through theoretical studies, technology assessments, and experiments
- to define an end-to-end vision of the future network providing innovative broadband services through joint activities with projects focusing on complementary aspects such as the access network segment and the interaction with applications (e.g. MUSE and MUPBED).

Specific contributions will be submitted to ITU-T, TMF, OIF and IETF thus reinforcing European position in standardization bodies and fora.
