Transport-Layer Architecture for the Internet H 2020-ICT-05-2014 Project number : 644334 Deliverable D 4 . 3 Validation and evaluation results

This document presents the main experiments carried out in WP4 for validation and evaluation of the NEAT System. Based on the test plan proposed in Deliverable D4.2 [11], the report provides a detailed overview of the test setups, equipment configurations, measurement methodologies and evaluations for each of the four industrial use cases developed in WP1. We demonstrate the feasibility of the developed NEAT approaches in realistic environments underlining the relevance of the designed solutions in the context of the industrial use cases, related to the partners’ business needs. The experiments exercise key components of the core transport system designed in WP2, and highlight important research outcomes from WP3, related to the extended transport system and transport enhancements developed in the latter work package. Furthermore, the document includes a discussion on the future of NEAT with an emphasis on NEAT’s impact on scalability on a global scale as well as scalability aspects that relate to the end-host stack. Finally, the influence of the work carried out in NEAT on IETF standardisation efforts, in particular on a future standard transport API, is summarised.
