Why a testbed?
• Number of service having to co-exist increases (QoS, multicast, etc)
• Verify if the OS upgrade impacts the functionality/services and compatibility between different router vendors.
• Test of new services and features.
• If all goes well, kits can be ordered the 1st of October...

Testbed• The testbed will be available for the NRENs
• Testbed consists of several Cisco and Juniper routers distributed on GÉANT. – three M-20s, two 7000s and one GSR– the routers will be distributed in GÉANT
• The tests routers are connected to the GÉANT routers via STM-1.

Testbed• Interconnection between test routers via the MPLS/CCC functionality
(carrying L2 frames across GÉANT).
• Additional equipment:
– Linux based PCs
– Traffic generators (SmartBits)
– Ideally, should have a routes generator.
• Question?
