Abstract :
The Stockholm Gigabit Network is a collaborative project where research organizations in the greater Stockholm region operate a network for Gb/s rates. The project allows experimentation in all areas of communication systems, from optical transmission and switching to full-fledged multimedia applications. The network is a joint test-bench where not only single system components can be evaluated but also the aggregation of interdependent components. In this article we describe the network and many of the research projects which benefit from the project.<>
