## Project and Partners

**Vertically Integrated Optical T-bed for Large Applications in DFN**
- Organized as consortium, Leader: DFN-Verein
- Contact: kaufmann@dfn.de,  www.viola-testbed.de
- Members of consortium:
- Alcatel SEL AG, 		T-Systems International GmbH,
- Siemens AG, 		FhG (IMK, SCAI),
- FZ Jülich, 		Stiftung caesar,
- Universität Bonn, 	FH Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (U Appl. Sc.)
- RWTH Aachen
- Associated partner: 	GasLINE, Navtel
- Term of Project: 3 Years
- Start of VIOLA: June 2004
- Funding: ca. 11 M€ from BMBF (Ministry of Research)
- Total costs: ca. 20 M€

## General Goals 

- Test & evaluation of current developments of netwoking technology including signalling & management
- State-of-the-art (pre-)products of industrial partners
- Signalling mechanisms and interfaces
- Wide area field tests, laboratory environment for specific tests
- Preparation for X-WIN of DFN (successor of G-WIN)
- Call for tender for fiber+WDM late 2004; implementation since Summer 2005;
- Implementation of (new) routing/switching equipment in 2006/07;
- Implementation as a stepwise process with increasing service complexity;
- Implementation of a **vertical** testbed
- Applications
- Middleware tools
- Optical transport technology for IP, SDH and GE

## Status (1)

- Testbed implementation was finished early 2005:
- circuits are connected (including connection to G-WIN/GEANT)
- equipment is installed;
- network management is operational
- Work items of „Transport & Signalling“ have been started:
- I-NNI: Available for Siemens-CC-hiT7070
- E-NNI: Available for Alcatel-CC-1678 and Sycamore-CC-SN16000
- E-NNI interoperability tests between Alcatel & Sycamore
- UNI-N 1.0 R2: Available for Alcatel-CC-1678
- GFP/LCAS-Tests between Alcatel-1678 & Siemens-hiT7070
- E2E: Specification of user interface & design of reservation system

## Status (2)

- L2-Test/Operation:
- VLL/VPLS interoperability tests with Alcatel & Riverstone: OK
- H-VPLS interoperability tests with Alcatel & Riverstone: Some problems
- Initial version of middleware is deployed, Integration of new middleware components in progress
- Application projects have finished preparatory work
- First “runs” over the network have been made
- 	Applications are beginning to stress network & middleware.
