Specification of inter-site connections: Deliverable DWP521

A zipped version of this document can be downloaded here.

Abstract :
This document tries to summarise all the requirements and possible solution for the next two years where interoperability will be necessary between the three sites :

  • University of Cambridge (United Kingdom)
  • Institut National des Télécommunications (France)
  • University of Madrid (Spain).
    At the time of writing the exact nature of the transnational connection is not known. Several contacts have been taken between the LEVERAGE sites and the local National Host. Unfortunately some technical questions have not found yet their solution and the LEVERAGE consortium is waiting for a clear proposal from English, French and Spanish National Host
