The links aren't there yet, but we will be doing MPEG1 w/IPTV as well
as a Real video stream and I think a WMT stream too.

Spirent Communications Selected for National Laboratories' Storage Testbed

DENVER (November 12, 2001) - Spirent Communications(tm), a wholly owned
business group of Spirent plc (NYSE: SPM), is playing a strategic role in a
technology evaluation being conducted by Sandia National Laboratories. The
second of three phases of this evaluation, which focuses on improving
utilization of available bandwidth for applications in a scientific
environment will be publicly demonstrating through November 16th, at the
2001 Supercomputing Conference (SC2001).
        
"We chose to use the Spirent family of storage testing products because of
the complete solution that Spirent brings to the table," said Helen Chen of
Sandia. "We are able to test the performance of all of our different network
types, including fibre channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and packet over SONET, and
we are able simulate network impairments all with a single vendor."
        
The technology evaluation is based on a partnership between industry and
government, to help define the most efficient Storage Area Network (SAN) and
Wide Area Network (WAN) architecture that will allow the government to
leverage leading technology and maximize available financial resources. 
        
The demonstration will show improved network and storage efficiencies for
Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Distant Supercomputing
Requirements with an integrated End-to-End TCP/IP Architecture. This
technology evaluation will be to show performance and configuration in a
static environment prior to the integration of the SONET transport. The
SONET integration will take place during the third phase of the evaluation,
in the November/December timeframe.
        
The technology evaluation is taking place across the several geographically
disparate facilities, including Sandia, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos
national laboratories, which comprise the Trilab testbed.
        
Spirent is contributing products from its SmartBits and Adtech solution sets
to the Trilab testbed. The SmartBits FBC-3602 Fibre Channel testing solution
is providing network Quality of Services measurements, measuring the overall
throughput, latency, and frame loss throughout the entire storage network.
Spirent's Adtech AX/4000 loaded with four OC-3/OC-12 test modules, is
employing the Adtech WAN Emulator to simulate real-world network impairments
such as latency and frame-loss.

"Spirent's involvement in testbeds such as the Trilab technology evaluation
is another demonstration of our important role in advancing the
state-of-the-art in data and communication networks," said Neil Anderson,
senior director, Advanced Test Programs at Spirent Communications. "Support
for these test environments also underscores our commitment to helping
companies integrate leading technology into their legacy networks as well as
helping them plan their architecture for next generation IP networks."

Several industry-leading companies are participating in the Trilab
technology evaluation, including AT&T, Avici, Brocade, Data Direct Networks,
Nishan, Riverstone, SGI, Sun Microsystems and VERITAS.
Sandia is a multi-program Department of Energy laboratory operated by Sandia
Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of
Energy under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.

SC2001 is being held in Denver, November 10-16, 2001. The Trilab
demonstration is in booth #R375 and Spirent Communications is in booth #658.
