MUPBED - Testbeds

In order to support the central working methodology of the project - which is to evaluate and verify complete vertical solutions including applications, the different transport layers and their interworking in European scale testbed trials -, a great effort will be spent in the area of developing the MUPBED testbed. This work, which includes the integration and operation of several local testbeds to a European-wide MUPBED testbed, can be divided into three distinct modules:

  • Testbed evolution and integration
  • ASON/GMPLS evaluation and client network interworking
  • Testbed operation and application interworking

The testbed work will also cover the interconnection and improvements of all local testbeds towards a test-infrastructure on a pan-European level. By doing so, the manifold aspects of horizontal integration via different domains and vertical integration via different layers of the network can be investigated.
