An experimental test network serves for the implementations performed within the various research projects mentioned above. The network consists Linux Routers and an Ethernet Switch, that allows the simple configuration of various network topologies. The Linux Routers support the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols as well as Differentiated Services, IPSec encryption, Mobile IP and IP Multicast, all based on open source implementations. Several experiments for service provisioning and video streaming in multicast networks have been performed. Two multi-processor computers are being used for network emulation and the evaluation of active networking implementations. Several measurements were performed for QoS evaluation in the TEN-155 network between the Berne and Poznan in Poland. Those experiments used several of the available commercial routers and switches.
