Future Internet Stress Test is a community activity to identify requirements for future Internet. Internet use is changing from individual content consumption to more social. Emerging open source virtual world platforms such as Opensim, realXtend and Solipsis use network in a new ways. Virtual Worlds, or 3D Web, may well be a major use case in five years.

The new use cases will affect every aspect of the Internet infrastructure in an end-to-end fashion. End user devices need updating, wireless networks at home, home automation and connectivity, as well as core Internet machinery and protocols are all affected.

The project aims to create a realistic scenario of the 3D content age covering user environment, over the access network, core network to the server cloud where the simulated environments are executed. This will cover user experience, user equipment rendering environment, user equipment processing environment (CPU, Memory, graphics), access networks (Wi-Fi, Mobile Internet), core network and cloud computing. Use of the 3D model applications will create realistic traffic patterns to drive the research and development activities in these given critical parts of the application chain.

The project will define the test 3D applications and consecutively resulting straw man specifications for the above elements. These specifications will be evaluated against the current evolution projections of various technologies for Future Internet. The comparison would result a “stress test” how well the Internet with its future planned evolution would be ready to this expected 3D application evolution.
