BTI field trials: overall evaluation • BTI networking features were successfully implemented (e.g. IPv6, RSVP, ATM signalling, multicast); • IPv6 interconnection of field trials was achieved; IPv6-IPv4 cooperation via tunneling was demonstrated as an effective tool for interconnection of IPv6 islands; • Real users collaborated using QoS-enabled applications over IPv6 in the field trials; usability testing was carried out; • BTI Integrated Services over ATM PON network concept was demonstrated and validated by the field trials; • Complexityof RSVP/ATM integration may be a problem against widespread deployment of the solution.
Topics for further study • Scalability evaluation of the BTI network concept • Interworkingwith diffserv-based backbone networks BTI domain 2 BTI domain 1 Diffserv domain BTI domain 3
