Report on the 3rd trial LEVERAGE network :Deliverable DWP911

A zipped version of this document can be downloaded here.

Abstract :
This document describes all steps undertaken to evolve the LEVERAGE network from the second to the third trial as well as the actual implementation of the third trial network. The document contains detailed specifications of the ISDN dial-up networking used in LEVERAGE.

The overall network architecture is described, the specifiations of the network elements are given with respect to the requirements for their integration into the system. These concern physical layer interfaces, ISDN router configuration, ATM layer capabilities, signalling and management interfaces.

Dimensioning is considered in view of network performance and application requirements.

The configuration of the network is shown in detail with respect to physical connectivity, ISDN, MPPP, ATM VP's, LANE and TCP/IP.
