European "next generation Internet" is being tested
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute together with colleagues from the University of Paderborn, with the participation of engineers from Infineon Technologies, started testing the “next-generation Internet prototype”. The project is called NGN-PlaNetS .
The abbreviation NGN stands for Next Generation Networks, that is, the next generation network, and PlaNetS stands for Platforms for Networked Services, a platform for network services.
The idea is that in the future the Internet will cease to exist in the form in which we know it, and become a system consisting of relatively separate “next-generation networks”. Each of them will differ from the modern Internet in the first place guaranteed by the support of quality standards (QoS). Such networks will guarantee simultaneous transmission of voice traffic without interference, video streams in excellent quality without delays and digital information. That is, NGN networks will have not only increased bandwidth, but also new algorithms for traffic routing. These algorithms and the corresponding software systems are being worked on within the framework of theNGN-PlaNetS project .
German scientists reported that the first prototypes of working systems are ready. At the moment, begin testing these systems, which will become part of the next generation Internet. Engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute have already developed a software switching system that is capable of monitoring all traffic on the Network in real time, as well as redirecting information flows around the loaded sections.

It is assumed that the well-known Ethernet technology will be widely used in NGN networks. Cables of this type are used in almost all corporate networks and are available in more than 95% of home apartments and corporate offices. An Ethernet-based network will have another important advantage: cost. These cables are almost the cheapest, and the entire infrastructure is already available, whatever one may say.
TheNGN-PlaNetS project is funded from the German state budget. Its main goal is to participate in the implementation of a global European project that provides for broadband Internet access to every European's home. The project also develops standardized terminal platforms and network architecture.
