Australian Telecommunications Cooperative Research Centre ProgramThe Centre for Telecommunications and Information Engineering (Ctie) at Monash University manages one of three programs in a cooperative research centre effort funded by the Australian federal government, industry partners and a number of Universities. PROGRAM 1 - APPLICATIONS PROGRAM Contact : Dr Ahmet Sekercioglu Ctie applies its technical expertise to pure and applied research and experimental engineering projects. Key activities include the following and build on the knowledge and infrastructure of CTIE. Project 1.1: Next Generation Internet: TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TESTBED IPv6 STREAMING VIDEO SERVER AND CLIENTS Project 1.2: Advanced Video Communications: has been merged into P1.1 in 2003
TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TESTBED Contact : Mr Brett Pentland The network testbed provides infrastructure for network interoperability testing and characterisation of telecommunications networks. Emphasis is placed on video communications, a strong complement of network test tools and increased availability of mobile IPv6 capable facilities for testing, as well as Gigabit Ethernet and MPLS. Virtualised network devices are integrated to increase flexibilty for experimentation. A supercomputer and clusters are being used for advanced network simulation. In addition, Ctie manages a video encoding suite. Ctie acknowledges the support of Agilent for this component of its ATCRC project activity. Contact : Dr Ahmet Sekercioglu Details of Mobile IPv6 research here. IPv6 address space is required for mobility and to support emerging markets. We consider Mobile IP as the best solution for IP mobility due to its scalable multi-technology solution, flexible adaptation to new technologies and inter-operator roaming capability. Ctie's work in the ATCRC focuses on fast handover implementation and testing for hierarchical MIPv6. The project is undertaken with strong support from Ericsson Australia. Performance testing is carried out with real applications and real hardware. The group makes strong contributions to Standards Development in this area. The research also analyses transport layer performance with the aim of developing simulation models for fast handover techniques. This work was initiated by Dr Richard Nelson who has left Monash University
IPv6 STREAMING VIDEO SERVER AND CLIENTS Contact : Mr Daniel Grimm Ctie researchers are developing and implementing IPv6 capable multimedia streaming tools and associated clients for testing purposes. This work extends on Apple's Quicktime/Darwin streaming server and other RTSP/RTP projects. The existing software generally does not support IPv6 so some porting has been required. Existing IPv6 capable software tends to have limited flexibility and applicability to 3G systems, which this project addresses. IPv6 Streaming video clients The RTSP/RTP streaming protocol combination lends itself to modification to support IPv6. The ATcrc has supported projects to investigate a variety of potential approaches, and there have been good outcomes, with three distinct clients. These are the MPEG4IP Linux player, Java JMF (on Solaris and Linux) and a Windows XP QuickTime Client bridge. IPv6 RTSP/RTP clients IPv6 QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Video server
QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server IPv6 project aims to port the Darwin Streaming Server and related proxy to IPv6. The Proxy is functional on both linux and MacOSX (Oct. 2002).

IPv6 QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Video server [also mpeg4] Contact : Mr Daniel Grimm QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server IPv6 project aims to port the Darwin Streaming Server and related proxy to IPv6. The Proxy is functional on both linux and MacOSX (Oct. 2002). Some IPv6 capable player development is also taking place in this project. At this stage only unicast streaming is being concentrated on. Testing and evaluation of other servers is also carried out - including Sun's Streaming Server which supports IPv6. Link to ATcrc homepage.
REAL TIME TRAFFIC GENERATOR - project has closed Real time audio and video communication is expected to be a major component of future digital network traffic. CTIE is developing a new traffic model for simulation of streaming video network traffic. The model is based on real server characteristics and will be used to test networks' capacity to handle video traffic. VIDEO OVER WIRELESS IP - project has closed Contact : Mr Terry Cornall, Ctie has made major contributions in the area of on-line video delivery, streaming video, video compression, and video conferencing in the past decade. The group is now investigating video delivery to and from mobile terminals in a wireless mobile IP network. The types of network currently being investigated are IEEE802.11 wireless LAN and GPRS over GSM. The work was intended to support the push of the telecommunications community towards all-IP wireless networks with local wireless networks and wide-area 'phone' networks being integrated for digital service delivery. This ATCRC project was supported by Vodafone. Link to ATcrc homepage.
