DELIVERABLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

D3202 Second Trial Report
 

This deliverable summarises the experimental results obtained during the second trial. The primary objective of these experiments was to verify the AQUILA architecture for providing QoS in the IP network (described in previous deliverables D1202, D1203 and D1302). In particular, the reported results cover the following areas:

  • evaluation of network services (single domain, inter-domain and for secondary access links),
  • real users trial (inter- and intra-domain) for different applications (voice, video and audio streaming, interactive games),
  • RCL performance (inter- and intra-domain),
  • evaluation of network efficiency (resource pool mechanism) in deterministic and dynamic scenario.


The presented results are structured in the following way:

  • intra- and inter-domain network service performance evaluation (see annex A),
  • real users scenarios (intra- and inter-domain) (see annex B)
  • RCL performance (see annex C),
  • evaluation of network efficiency (see annex D)
  • testbeds specification (see annex E)
  • measurement tools (see annex F).

An extended summary of the trial results is presented in chapter 3. In Annexes A to D detailed description of trial scenarios and results are included. In Annex E testbeds specification and GÉANT connection is presented and in annex F measurement tools are described.
