Project scope and Deliverables

There are eight deliverables. The reports for the deliverables will each consist of approximately 10 pages of A4 text. Primary partners on each deliverable are indicated in brackets, with the overall load being shared equally between UCL, Lancaster and Southampton:

  • D1: Detailed documentation and description of the Bermuda 2 operational network, including the IPv6 connectivity, native or otherwise, through to collaborative sites (ISI, NASA, BT, MSR and QTPv6). This would include options for connectivity for UK HE sites, via manually configured tunnels or an automated tunnel broker. (UCL/Soton).

  • D2: A migration tools report including consideration, trials and discussion of various transition methods (e.g. NAT-PT, 6to4, Ultima, proxies and tunnels) and notes on general porting of applications to IPv6. (Lancs/Soton)

  • D3: The setting up of an IPv6 resource, available via IPv4 or IPv6, under www.ipv6.ac.uk containing information that includes documentation on the Bermuda 2 project and its deliverables, lists of available IPv6 software packages, pointers to "HowTo" information for each host and router platform used and sample configuration files. Links to other similar national projects and IPv6 resources will be built; the IPv6 Forum dissemination channel will be useful in this respect. The Lancaster IPv6 Resource Centre will be tightly coupled or integrated with this resource. (Soton/Lancs)

  • D4: A report on Quality of Service issues as evaluated over Bermuda 2 and in conjunction with NASA. (UCL)

  • D5: A report on IPv6 management issues, including discussion of schemes for IPv6 address assignment, of auto-configuration and of IPv6 DNS operation. (Lancs)

  • D6: A report on policy management, including discussion of policies in respect of QoS, security and routing, and methods for describing, setting up, entering and enforcing such policies. (Soton)

  • D7: A report on wireless access methods and IPv6 mobile and ad hoc connectivity. (Lancs/Soton)

  • D8: A report on IPv6 IPsec and VPN technology. (UCL)

The Bermuda 2 project is funded by the JISC and managed by UKERNA.
