Abstract
� Abstract— Integration and full interoperability are today the new frontier for research in wide-area networks. A new European Commission Project, MUPBED, has been recently activated, with the main purpose to integrate and validate technology and network solutions in order to enable the operation of a future European research infrastructure capable of supporting advanced applications. The target network solution is based on the integration of the IP/MPLS layer with the ASON/GMPLS layer, both controlled by a unified control plane, and it will be able to provide connectivity on demand directly driven by the applications. Experimental assessments of this capability will be achieved by building a pan-European open test platform, including existing test-beds and national research networks, where a user community of European research projects and institutions will field-trial their high-end applications. In this paper an overview of MUPBED Project, its main objectives and its network vision are presented.
