Project Summary
The Managed Bandwidth - Next Generation (MB-NG) project will
create a pan-UK Networking and Grid testbed that will focus upon
advanced networking issues and interoperability of administrative
domains.
The project will address the issues which arise in the sector
of high performance inter-Grid networking, including sustained
and reliable high performance data replication and end-to-end
advanced network services. The project will also directly address
the issues which arise in the sector of interoperability between
the Adminstrative Domains with regards to Quality of Service and
High Throughput.
Goals of MB-NG
- To demonstrate e2e
managed bandwidth services in a multi-domain environment, in
the context of Grid project requirements. Also implicitly to
determine how well QoS works and to develop suitable policies
and potentially separate service level specifications for specific
applications.
- To investigate and
develop high performance data transport mechanisms for Grid
data transfer across heterogeneous networks.
