    This deliverable specifies the traffic handling mechanisms for the first trial.

  • D1302 Specification of traffic handling for the second trial

    This deliverable specifies the traffic handling mechanisms for the second trial. Traffic handling in AQUILA is composed of four related mechanisms operating at different time scales: provisioning (days to weeks), resource pools (hours), admission control (seconds to minutes), traffic control (milliseconds).

  • D1303 Traffic handling studies

  This deliverable collects the studies about the traffic handling mechanisms in the AQUILA architecture. Traffic handling in AQUILA is composed of four related mechanisms operating at different time scales: provisioning (days to weeks), resource pools (hours), admission control (seconds to minutes), traffic control (milliseconds).

  • JD001 IST Premium IP Cluster

  This jointly prepared deliverable contains a brief description of the three projects in terms of objectives, architecture, service and resource management. The common goal of the Premium IP cluster projects as well as differences and their complementary approaches are presented, so that the projects are "comparable" by means of tables, which allow the reader to easily assess complementary approaches and the (main) differences between the projects. In addition, the document reports on current co-operative activities like Monitoring and Measurement or contributions to IETF, as well as future activities like collaboration with the IST project INTERMON or validation through trials.
