Summary of the workshop
From IST-Anemone website
Contents |
The primary objective of the workshop was to introduce the project to third parties, who do not know about ANEMONE yet, exposing them the features and capabilities of the testbed but also its related access policies and rules. In addition, the workshop was organized as an interactive forum where the presentations serve also as a basis for discussion. Through such open discussions, the workshop presented at the same time an excellent opportunity for the attendees to express their needs and expectations vis-à-vis the testbed with respect to their ongoing and future projects. The workshop was organised as part of IST Mobile Summit 2007 in Budapest, Hungary on July 5th 2007.
The ANEMONE project is a two-year IST STREP started in June 2006. The project aims at realizing a large-scale distributed testbed featuring cutting edge IPv6 mobility and multihoming initiatives together with the majority of current and future wireless access technologies. Thus, it will allow for enhanced and innovative future services by providing mobility support to users and devices. The project also plans to offer a wide range of multimodal terminals such as laptops, PDAs, smartphones and NEMO mobile networks composed of mobile routers and locally attached devices. The testbed is composed of existing platforms and extensions covering campus and metropolitan areas with a large spectrum of real end users for a pertinent evaluation of advanced services and applications.
To demonstrate its usability as a research platform, the ANEMONE Testbed will first be used by the ANEMONE consortium members for research activities in the domain of advanced mobility and multihoming and related security issues. However, as the primary objective of the testbed is to host third parties experiments, it will be open as soon as possible to external researchers and R&D teams. Through the ANEMONE Testbed, they will benefit from a complete infrastructure of communication and service facilities so that they will be able to concentrate on their specific studies rather than on setting up an enhanced test network.
The ANEMONE Testbed will provide basic IPv6 services (IPv6 address space, IPv6 access networks), mobility and multihoming features (Home Network, Home Agent for MIPv6 and NEMO, Correspondent Nodes), security and AAA mechanisms, and attractive applications like VoD, VoIP or games.
By integrating in a single testbed all the protocols, wireless access technologies and applications that are necessary to conduct research and development and to study the feasibility of deployment of IPv6 mobility technologies, ANEMONE will allow:
- To share the specific experiences the partners of the project have on IPv6 mobility deployment in order to leverage the European IPv6 experience;
- To provide a pan-European IPv6 mobility testbed open to the research and development communities so that they can test and validate new applications and services;
- To define procedures and tools to conduct experiments, to gather results, to evaluate the performance and to validate the compliance with IETF standards;
- To gather a significant number of “real users” coming from different cultural and social populations (students, teachers, ISP customers, man on the street, etc.).
