MUSE
at DSL Forum meeting in Budapest 10-13.05.2005
The
coordinator of MUSE gave a plenary presentation of MUSE at the Summit of the DSL
Forum meeting in Budapest. Within MUSE, we regard DSL Forum as a strategic forum
to disseminate results from MUSE research. The integrated project was also
visible with various contributions in the technical sessions at the DSL Forum
meeting. With a similar invitation by ETSI TISPAN earlier this year, it shows
that the project is gaining recognition in the international standardisation
community.

MUSE
Summer School and BB Access session at NOC 2005, London, July 4-7
NOC
2005 will incorporate the MUSE Summer School on Broadband Access Technologies.
This one-day set of tutorials will run prior to the main conference. It will
cover state-of-the-art Optical Access and DSL technology and deployment. During
the regular programme of NOC, an entire session will be dedicated to the
research papers from MUSE. Registration to the Summer School is still possible
on the NOC homepage: http://www.noc-conference.org
First
lab trial on multi-service capable Ethernet Access achieved
Partners
in Subproject C of MUSE, which focuses on optimised Ethernet Access, have
realised a first lab trial demonstrating multiservice, multiprovider
capabilities. Evaluations have started. A research report will become available
later this year.
7th
MUSE consortium meeting
Around
120 attendees are expected during the 7th Consortium Meeting in Munich at the
end of June to discuss the issues and the progress in the task forces and
subprojects.
Some
recent available deliverables
"Network
architecture: detailed solutions for individual architectural issues"
Abstract:
The deliverable describes the MUSE access architecture, which provides secure
connectivity between end user terminals and edge nodes. It is suited for multi
service deployment in a multi provider environment. It contains a generic part
and two specific network models: Model 1 "L2 Ethernet forwarding" and
Model 2 "L3 IPv4/IPv6 forwarding". The deliverable is focused on Model
1 , where the dataplane, control plane, QoS, autoconfiguration, and multicast
are fully described. As for Model 2, only the dataplane is defined. Other
aspects of the Model 2 architecture will be elaborated in a future deliverable.
"Requirement-based
functional specification of residential gateway"
Abstract:
This document describes the requirements for a multi-service Residential Gateway
in an xDSL Ethernet migration environment. An optimal home network reference
topology has been identified taking into account triple play services delivered
on the MUSE access network as well as different business models. It describes
the applicable use cases, requirements of the Access Gateway and requirements of
the Service Gateway.
"MUSE
Test Suite, Part 1 : Test Objectives"
Abstract:
First part of the "test suite" describing what should be tested. It
describes a wide range of test objectives in significant detail, and guides the
reader through state-of-the-art views and (when appropriate) through many
standards.
Deliverables,
conference papers, and publications can be requested via the MUSE website: http://www.ist-muse.org
MUSE
is part of the IST Broadband for All cluster. Other information from European
research in this area can be found on the website of BREAD: http://www.ist-bread.org
