PTDN
 Public packet Telecom Data Network (PTDN) is a
packet-based data network designed for future network.
e.g., Video services (TV, movie, etc.)
e.g., Data services (WWW, e-mail, etc.)
e.g., Voice telephony services (audio, fax, etc.)

Project Objectives
Building a partnership between European and Chinese organizations
to foster cooperation in the domain of future internet research
experimentation and IPv6
Strengthening joint research efforts on the future internet by
developing interoperable solutions and common standards.
Reinforcing academic and industrial cooperation on future internet
experimental research, through a better networking between
European and Chinese actors.
Exchanging good practices for IPv6 deployment and supporting the
creation of interconnected IPv6 pilots between Europe and China.
Proposals are expected to build upon the achievements by similar
past or ongoing projects
22
WP1: interoperability & standards
• Work first on test platform federation and identification of
interoperability issues including with organisation of
operational events , i.e. interoperability events (SDN, IPv6...)
• Explore interoperability issues and solutions as coming from
common research topics identified by EU-China discussions.
• On the basis of the interoperable solutions identified ,
experience with implementing Fed4FIRE specifications and
feedback from EU-China discussions, develop some standards
or recommendations.
