The objective of the TEQUILA project is to study, specify, implement and validate a set of service definition and traffic engineering tools to obtain quantitative end-to-end Quality of Service guarantees through careful planning, dimensioning and dynamic control of scaleable and simple qualitative traffic management techniques within the Internet (i.e. diffserv).

The following technical areas will be addressed:

*Specification of static and dynamic, intra- and inter-domain SLSs to support both fixed and nomadic users.

*Protocols and mechanisms for negotiating, monitoring and enforcing SLSs.

*Intra- and inter-domain traffic engineering schemes to ensure that the network can cope with the contracted SLSs - within domains, and in the Internet at large.

All specified functionality will be validated through simulation, prototype development and network experiments

Thru the full IPv6 networking transition realized into the AWT infrastructure, security has been considered from the start into the deployments.

At the occasion of the Future Internet Week edition in Belgium, the DGINSFO from the European Commission has decided to bring several information session/workshop into the international conference agenda.

The AWT was requested to share its experience in IPv6 security consideration in its new networking design.
