Objective(s)
To carry out the trials of the new protocols and technology developments that will improve QoS and optimise bandwidth utilisation, both in a laboratory environment and in controlled experiments over the wide area network.
Based on the results of these tests, to specify and procure the network interconnections that will supersede TEN-34 for the participating national research networks.
To validate the use of improved QoS management in a large scale operational environment, while still handling general IP traffic, using access bandwidths up to 155Mbps.
Achievements
Definition, preparation and delivery of TEN-155: a much higher capacity network than TEN-34 but at similar cost (early 1997 – December 1998).
Definition and execution of Quantum Technical Programme, QTP (early 1997 – May 2000), by joint TERENA/DANTE Task Force TANT (Testing of Advanced Networking Technologies).
Milestones
April 1997: Quantum outline proposal submitted to EC.
December 1997: positive evaluation by the EC of Quantum outline proposal; specification of TEN-155 service agreed; TEN-155 Consortium created.
May 1998: QUANTUM Policy Committee decisions on: a set pricing scheme; the principle that ATM will be used as a bandwidth management tool to optimise the use of the SDH circuits; individual national research networks will have the choice between ATM or IP-over-SDH access to the network.
October 1998: working items of QTP Task Force defined.
December 1998: TEN-155 operational.
May 2000: Final deliverable QTP delivered.
(Co-)Funding
Co-funded under a joint initiative by DGXIII (Telematics for Applications and ACTS) and DGIII (Esprit) of the European Commission.
