UA will evaluate usage of the high bandwidth and QoS applications on campus, within Ohio, and outside Ohio through realtime logging of message size, performance levels, and destination.  UA will also evaluate research and educational perceptions as to whether this adequately  services the needs. We will benchmark performance on the commodity Internet and compare performance with the high bandwidth network.  UA will compare QoS on ATM endpoints with emerging QoS standards over Ethernet.  UA will provide periodic QoS summary reports.
 

UA will attend conferences and present, as appropriate, information regarding this project.  UA will also maintain an unsecured web page for access by any interested parties with up dates and information.  UA researchers and educators, who are leaders in their field, will present their findings at national and international conferences and in refereed journals.
