Abstract

vthd is a high-performanceip experimental network. This network and associated research projects have been partially funded by the French government through the French Research Network for Telecommunications (rnrt) in order to support the development of leading-edge network services on the one hand, and test a wide-scale deployment of advanced Internet applications on the other hand. This paper describes the network services that were deemed necessary to support the deployment of innovative applications, as well as several of the applications that have been experimented on the network. It also presents a selection of the traffic engineering methods and experiments that have been developed in the course of thevthd related research projects. This article describes the collective works of members of the project partners, which are represented by the set of authors for the present paper.

Résumé

vthd est un réseauip expérimental à très haut débit. Ce réseau et les projets de recherche associés ont reçu un financement public par l’intermédiaire du Réseau National de Recherche en Télécommunications (rnrt) dans le but de permettre à la communauté scientifique française de développer des services réseau innovants et de tester le déploiement à grande échelle d’applications Internet avancées. Cet article décrit les services réseau nécessaires pour supporter le déploiement d’applications innovantes, ainsi que les applications qui ont été expérimentées sur le réseauvthd. Enfin, l’article présente une sélection des méthodes et des expérimentations en matière d’ingénierie de trafic développées lors des projets de recherche associés àvthd. Cet article décrit les travaux réalisés collectivement par de nombreux membres des institutions partenaires, qui sont représentées ici par les auteurs cosignant l’article.
