January 2002 - H.323 testing on production networks
Tests involving real H.323 traffic has started. The tests will be performed between locations in
France, Italy Switzerland, Germany and Greece. The preparation started in December 2001,
including initial configuration of EF treatment and aggregate policing on the GÉANT routers in
the relevant part of the network. The H.323 setup is validated without use
of Premium IP first. Until early January, the remaining (NREN) parts of the test network will be configured with Premium
IP support so that H.323 tests can be performed using differentiated QoS.
