Workshop: Benchmarking Carrier Ethernet Technologies
Wednesday April 30th, 2008
Workshop related to next generation network solutions will be co-located with NGI 2008 Conference.
The CELTIC/IWT TIGER project has investigated over last 2 years the progress of Ethernet (IEEE) and PW/MPLS (IETF) technologies for addressing carrier metro-access/metro-aggregation networks and their evolution.
For this purpose, the TIGER project will organize a scientific & technical workshop where the various alternatives attracting carriers/providers interest (e.g. GELS, PBB-TE, PW/MPLS, etc.) will be confronted functionally and the performance benchmarking results obtained for these technologies confronted to each other.
The chairman of the workshop is Dimitri Papadimitriou (Alcatel-Lucent Bell NV).
For researchers interested in attending only the workshop a special Partial Registration packet is prepared. Please register at NGI 2008 Registration webpage.
Workshop Organization
The workshop is organized around two tracks on functional and performance benchmarking, each divided into two sessions.
- The two morning sessions (Carrier Ethernet Technologies I and II) will be dedicated to functional benchmarking results per technology;
- The two afternoon sessions (Scientific and Technical Results I and II) will be dedicated to the performance benchmarking results per technology.
All sessions are organized 15 minutes presentation followed by 15 minutes of topical discussion.
At the end of the afternoon sessions, an open Scientific and Technical Debate (1 hour) will confront to each other the scientific & technical results obtained by the workshop participants.
