3. Motivation
Interconnecting CJK NGN Testbeds and building common NGN technology testing infrastructure
Feasibility testing prior to NGN commercial deployment
Reflection of testing results into corresponding standardization activities periodically
Interoperability testing for Standard-based NGN components developed by CJK
Cooperation with other international NGN related testbeds and their activities such as MOONv6, Plugtests, GMI, etc.

5. Testbed Operation Milestone
Phase I (2005~ st Quarter)
Organize an ad-hoc group to collaborate CJK testbed establishment
Construct CJK NGN testbed
Establish each administration’s NOC and common operation and management infrastructure
Agree on test scenarios and build test case suits including a specific milestone
Cooperate with other international NGN related testbeds
Perform the first set of interoperability test
Phase II ( nd Quarter ~ 2007)
Test NGN Release 1 services and capabilities
Test focuses on the transport functionalities such as QoS, adimission control, traffic monitoring, etc.
Services to be tested are interactive multimedia services and related functional components which fall into the scope of Release 1
Especially main interest is in inter-domain/inter-operator issues
Phase III (2008~2010)
Test NGN Release II or beyond
Test includes application/service functionalities and its binding with transport functionalities
Test other advanced NGN services yet to be defined
Test and verify SLA, service convergence capabilities, NGN security especially from network viewpoint, charging and billing, and others

6. Action Plans for Phase I (2005~2006. 1st Quarter)
Organize an ad-hoc group for managing CJK testbed
Recommend to organize an ad-hoc group internal to each administration first before the CJK ad-hoc group is formed
Define Objectives of the CJK interoperability tests
Define Roadmap
Define Network Architecture (Physical, Transport and Service Topologies and underlying technologies (e.g., MPLS, etc.)) of the testbed both intra- and inter-domain scope
In Intra-domain case, each administration decides its own network (e.g., KOREN or APII in case of Korea) and enhance its functionalities to conform to NGN
Define Implementation Agreements for inter-domain connectivity
Define test scenarios and test case suits
Recruit participants for equipment and services at each testbed site
Construct the test bed
Do interoperability test for the initial set of test cases
Make a plan for cooperating with other international NGN related test events

7. Proposals
Establishment of a new testbed among CJK to promote mutual efforts to implement, test, deploy NGN technologies
Organize first CJK NGN Interoperability Event (CNI2005) during Phase I
Cooperative reflection of experiences into international standard bodies
Collaboration with other closely related international activities
