Abstract :
We describe our experiences in creating multigigabit links using the GÉ ANT Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) Client Portal and report measurement and analysis of the performance of connections using both FPGA and PC based network testing tools. This research was performed as part of a work package for the EC funded NEXPReS project.
