The main objectives of this project was to:
The key issues of this project have been the provision of a prototype implementation of the proposed IP-over-DVB draft, the support of the IP-over-DVB community in forming an IETF working group, and the identification of not yet addressed issues with IP-over-DVB with recommendations how to proceed further.
The following are the main benefits of this project:
As one of the main objectives of this project was to implement a proposed draft (draft-fair-ipdvb-ule-02.txt) which was put forward by the IP-over-DVB community, interoperation tests have been executed between two parallel projects (IABG/6WIND and Joanneum Research). As the interoperability tests have only concentrated on IP-over-DVB issues and the proposed draft, only the forward link was tested with the following test system architecture:

The interoperability tests results have compiled into a separate report, which was made available to the ipdvb working group and community.
But, in order to also demonstrate the functionality of the IP-over-DVB implementation when used with real traffic from applications, several realistic scenarios have been developed during this project and integrated in the advanced demonstration architecture, which is shown below:Click for larger image
