Final Summary of Conclusions and Guidelines (Draft)
Executive Summary:
The aim of this document is to draw the conclusions and results obtained in the LONG as requested in the first project review (Apr 5th 2002, Madrid). This document presents technical conclusion obtained during the whole project regarding network design, deployment and testing, user services and application migration.
Description of IPv4/IPv6 Available transition strategies.
Executive Summary:
This document, the first deliverable for LONG’s WP2 (Work Package 2), presents and discusses the IPv6 Transition Mechanisms (TM) and the scenarios where they are applicable. These TM are evaluated and the configurations of some implementation are described. The study performed to elaborate this document is the basis for the continuation of the WP2, WP3 and WP4 activities such as the use of the services and applications in transition environments.
Access Technologies in LONG project
Executive Summary:
This deliverable describes the research activities and studies carried out to deploy IPv6 over different access technologies. According to the decisions agreed in LONG meetings, WP 2 is related to functionality tests and WP 4 is focused on performance tests. In this framework, D2.2 describes the theoretical studies and the conclusions taken from the know-how obtained while configuring and operating an IPv6 solution over each access technology. This know-how was used later to set up the performance test-bed networks used in WP 4. The results of these performance tests using MGENv6 tool are described in D4.2 “Report on first phase trials and evaluation report”. Regarding to WP 2, next step is to built-in the access technologies described in the present document in the LONG stable IPv6 interconnection network. Further steps in WP 2 will include the detailed study of IPv6 advanced services.
Advanced Network Services: description and support in LONG network
Executive Summary:
This document, D2.3-“Advanced Network Services: description and support in LONG network”, describes the services that are being deployed over LONG infrastructure. The deployment of these services is performed involving IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This document presents the theoretical and functional aspects of the deployment of network and application level services, while D4.3 will describe the results of the tests. The final design of the networks, as well as the services deployed and tested, will be written in the D2.4.
Deliverable 2.4 - 20-June-2002
Network Design and Deployment
Executive Summary:
This document describes the network infrastructure deployed by the LONG project. Several aspects are referred to network topology, addressing and routing, basic and advanced network level services and, adopted transition mechanisms, just to mention some. Previous deliverables of the WP2 describe the results of the studies and experiments carried out that lead to the definition of the network aspects described in this document. This network will make possible the execution of trials using IP services and applications on IPv4/IPv6 mixed scenarios. Results will be presented in the Deliverable 4.4.
Requeriments and quidelines for distributed laboratories application migration
Executive Summary:
One important step in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is the migration of applications. The transition does not require strong coordination with network migration. Only an small experimental environment should be required to test applications over the new environment. Only during the service deployment phase should be necessary to coordinate activities with network administrators to minimize the number of intermediate dependencies. This document aims to provide requirements and guidelines for migrating applications and services inside distributed laboratories. Different sites have different constraints. Sometimes the transition is demanded because of the lack of network addresses, and sometimes the site requires the use of new features provided by IPv6. The IPv6 specification requires 100% compatibility for the existing protocols and applications during the transition.
Guidelines for migration of collaborative work applications
Executive Summary:
This document is focused on the description of main characteristics to take into account during migration process of distributed collaborative applications. After D3.1, which was devoted to explain the migration alternative of simple point to point applications, this document reviews group applications, provides migration strategies and explains in detail the migration process for the ISABEL application.

Deliverable 3.3 - 20-June-2002
Guidelines for migration of collaborative work application working over asymmetric channels
Executive Summary:
The study of application migration to IPv6 includes not only basic client-server, but also collaborative work applications. Frequently, collaborative work applications are multipoint, so, many communication channels should be considered in parallel. Moreover, these applications used specialized communication components devoted to provide general functionalities of group collaboration. This document is devoted to classify these components and study potential migration problems to IPv6. The document has been completed with descriptions of some migration experiences. The applications selected are classified as simple multimedia distribution tools, such as the streaming video tool, or collaborative tools such as some multi-user distributed games. This document is the second phase of work summarized in Deliverable D3.2.

Report on first phase trials and evaluation report
Executive Summary:
This report states the planned activities to be carried out by the Project LONG within the first phase of Workpackage 4 about System Exploitation, Trials and Evaluation. The document is delivered at month 8 since the beginning of the Project. It includes the methodology for the experiments to be performed, and a detailed description of them. The results of these experiments will be reported on Deliverable 4.2, at month 12.
Second Phase Trials Specification
Executive Summary:
This report proposes several experiences to be performed over an advanced IPv6 environment. We will test advanced services over IPv6 such as DNS, multicast, diffserv, security, mobility, anycast or multihoming; and we will also experiment with IPv6 applications, such as Isabel, HTTP, FTP, IRC, News, Mail, LDAP, etc. Special attention will be paid to the coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 networks and systems, trying to apply transition mechanisms whenever required. These tests will also serve to validate in a more advanced scenario the mechanisms considered as interesting for IPv4 to IPv6 transition. Some experiences will involve several LONG partners, although it will also be specified some local tests regarding to advanced services in which a distributed environment is difficult to be set. While Deliverable 2.3 focused on the study of the services, and the way they should be configured, in this deliverable we propose a deployment architecture for those services in the LONG network, in many cases involving several partners, and also some functional and performance experiences to be done over the proposed architecture.
