The main novelty is the development of a high-functionality, low-energy active remote node (ARN) offering high-speed switching and statistical-multiplexing features for maximal exploitation of available network resources, together with radio and legacy systems compatibility, taking advantage of the required powering at the remote base stations (RBSs). The proposed architecture enables an optimized and sophisticated management and control plane, allowing service providers to transparently monitor their connections, so simplifying network management and application interoperability with heterogeneous networks. Although inherently future-proofed, the proposed network platform is also intrinsically compatible with existing fibre and wireless access solutions in an open access context. In addition, its low-energy, and low-cost design offers an environmentally sustainable technology solution, whilst acting as a critical enabler for new smart services, e-society initiatives, and intelligent lifestyle management.

Design/methodology/approach – This paper provides an example of the deployment of UCLP in the GÉANT2/National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) scenario, and compares how network operators, advanced users and regular end users would do their work, with and without UCLP. Findings – The paper provides high‐level technical information about UCLP as well as depicting the drivers for its use in the European research networking community. Research limitations/implications – This paper does not explain the details of the deployment of the software in the GÉANT2/National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) scenario, it just explains the benefits that the deployment of the software would provide. If the deployment was to be done today, some improvements to UCLP should be done, as well as support fo...

This includes the illustration of the scenarios, the description of the gateway functionality, and initial test results. The work presented in this deliverable is the outcome of the WP1-WP2 collaboration. The developed functionality is supported by the Java package "harmony.thin.translator.g2mpls" and the C package "harmony.translator.g2mpls". Source code is publicly available from the project wiki site.
