3. Key Challenges for 2013

• Keep up with the tests for all the test-beds

o BNG Test Bed

o Core & Staging Test Bed

o Metro Ethernet Test Bed

o NG-SDH Test Bed

• Become Test Bed for DT Group (BNG)

• Expand participation in R&D Projects

• Support OTE’s Business Customers (proof of concept tests, for presales)

• Expand the capabilities of the Spirent Test Center to keep up with the network demands

Core Lab main Testbeds

• Metro Ethernet Testbeds– Point-to-Point (E-line), Point-to-MultiPoint (E-Lan), Multipoint-to-Multipoint

(E-Tree)– Spanning Tree, LACP

• L2 & L3 Vpn Services• QoS• PPPoE Testebeds

– Session Termination for Static and Dynamic Users– Authentication based on different parameters (circuit-remote id)– Subscriber attachment to VRF– L2TP / LAC operation– Qos applied to Subscribers

• IPTV– Multicast video distribution with MVPN (PIM SSM)

• IPv6– IPv6 subscriber termination (PPPoE) with Prefix Delegation– Dual Stack (for PPPoE sessions)– 6VPE

Projects to be done

• BNG Tests with ASR9K – Migration of Services (L2VPN,L3VPN,etc) from 76xx to the ASR9K.

• 76xx 15.2(4) Validation Tests (L2 Tests, Routing Tests, MPLS Tests, Metro Ethernet Tests, Multicast Tests)

• IPv6 Team - Testbeds
