Performance Evaluation Methodologies for the Optical Internet

对澳大利亚来说，成为下一代互联网技术的早期采用者将非常重要，这不仅是为了确保该国在世界经济共同体中的地位，也是为了确保其行业和公民能够获得新技术。该项目产生的技术和方法将使澳大利亚未来的光互联网的设计成为可能。 该项目将为新技术的可行性做出战略决策，因此澳大利亚的服务提供商将拥有更好、更便宜的网络，澳大利亚用户将以更低的成本享受更好的服务。 该项目将加强澳大利亚在电信和光网络领域的知识库和技能基础。

It will be important to Australia to be an early adopter of a next-generation Internet technology not only to ensure that the country retains its place in the world economic community of but also to ensure that its industries and citizens have access to new technologies. Techniques and methodologies emerging from this project will enable the design of Australia's future optical Internet. The project will enable strategic decisions on the viability of new technologies, and as a result Australian service providers will have better and cheaper networks, and Australian users will enjoy better services at a lower cost. The project will enhance the Australian knowledge base, skills base in the area of teletraffic and optical networking.
