Task 12 - High Throuhgput Programme

Task Leader: Richard Hughes-Jones

Definition

This task will define the high performance programme for MB-NG. It will specify the tests and experiments required to achieve high performance high throughput networking. It will also define suitable demonstrations of sustained data transfers over the network using various transport and application protocols.

This task will use the deliverables from Task 2 that define the test and background traffic patterns and generation methods, the corresponding specification work in this task is only to select those tests/measurements that are applicable. This task will also be driven by Task 7, in that the network configurations and operational policies for the high performance tests and demonstrations will be selected from those specified by Task 7. It is expected at all tests will be operated on a set of increasingly complex configurations and QoS policies starting from basic IP connectivity to include elements of diffserv, MPLS and combinations thereof.

This task is divided into several parts:

• Definition of the work required to investigate TCP/IP operation on high bandwidth links.
• Definition of the work required to investigate non-TCP/IP protocols.
• Specification of the data transfer tools to be tested.
• Organisation of the high performance demonstrations.
