NOBEL main objectives

• To define drivers, requirements, scenarios,
  architecture and solutions for core and metro
  optical networks
• To study advanced traffic engineering and
  resilience techniques
• To make techno- and socio-economic analysis
• To identify solutions for advanced packet/burst
  switching
• To define solutions for network management and
  control
• To identify solutions and technologies for
  physical transmission
• To define multi-service/multi-layer node
  architectures and to prototype the implementation
  of selected node functionalities
• To assess existing technologies, components and
  sub-systems
• To integrate a main test bed and to start
  validating project results with experimental
  activities

11
NOBEL expected results

• Network Concepts, Requirements and Social Impact
• Innovative solutions for end-to-end services in
  metro/core networks (solving the open problems)
• Social and techno-economic evaluations of
  services and network concepts
• Transport nodes, network management and control
• Strategies for the end-to-end QoS, management and
  control

  metro/core networks identifying optimal balance
  of packet/burst/circuit switching
• Feasibility studies and prototype realizations of
  advanced functionalities in multi-service /
  multi-layer nodes
• Enabling technologies and test-bed/field-trial
  integration
• Identify existing technologies for cost-effective
  implementation of concepts proposed above

  revenues opportunities through new network
  services
• Fast automatic provisioning (towards Network on
  Demand)
• Automatic Network Discovery

Conclusions

• NOBEL is dealing with end-to-end networking
  issues for metro-core
• Three major network scenarios are under
  consideration expected results concern
  techno-economic evaluations, feasibility studies
  an testing of solutions for the transport,
  management and control planes of core-metro
  networks
• NOBEL will contribute to Standards and Fora (ITU,
  OIF, IETF), in order to create a consensus view
  on advanced and innovative solutions thus
  creating favorable conditions for the penetration
  of broadband services
• The collaboration with other IST IP Projects
  (e.g. MUSE and MUPPET) is aimed at creating an
  European joint force for core and metro networks
  enabling B4All and Research Networking
