6 Conclusions and Recommendations

The field trial for phase 1, namely MCLab trial, has been implemented according to [2].

Due to some project adjustments (departure of Versaware partner and migration to IPv6) the

testing plan described in [2] was not followed and the set of tests that were performed are

described in section 4.2 of this report.

The tests that were made on the developers (WP2 & WP3) labs are also described and presented

at the annex, section 7 of this deliverable.

MCLab trial had provided a controlled environment (laboratory/experimental environment) and

the first insight on the system functionalities, mainly the communication between the LAP and

the T-RG have been achieved, even if all the proposed tests and applications can’t be performed

due to first prototype integration.

In fact several problems have appeared and both H/W and S/W developers are working on in

order to solve it, one of them being the instability of the ADSL integration between RG and the

LAP and the other the integration of all software modules developed by different partners.

Nevertheless it should be kept in mind that TORRENT system is a prototype system and

consequently under specific performance aspects, TORRENT system could not perform so well

as commercial grade equipment.

A short summary containing the status of phase II field trials has been done. A more elaborated

report will be made [3].

In phase II the tests will be performed in an operator environment taking into account either

security aspects, access networks convergence, or communication to core networks through the

LAPs. One important aspect that is included in this report is the beginning of preparations for

IPv6 on all trial sites.

The implementations of TORRENT at network and application level can possibly take advantage

of the migration to IPv6.

Each trial exploitation plan is described. Despite some partners are still investigating the best way

to exploit in depth each trial, it can be noticed that the flexibility is expected to come from the

TORRENT concept in the perspective of: a) Offering a set of advantages to customer, by

providing interactivity between the system and the customer through the selection of most

appropriated network and the b) possibility of aggregation of access networks to core networks

according to rules established by the customer.
