46 PAQ
IPv4 + IPv6 Performance and QoS) observes and analyses the behaviour of QoS mechanisms and services, congestion control mechanisms, and new transport protocols when working together. Also, the way in which applications make use of the new services and the differences in behaviour in the use of these mechanisms from IPv4 and IPv6 are studied.

BADC
British Atmospheric Data Centre.The British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) is the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Designated Data Centre for the Atmospheric Sciences. The role of the BADC is to assist UK atmospheric researchers to locate, access and interpret atmospheric data and to ensure the long-term integrity of atmospheric data produced by NERC projects.

ESLEA
Exploitation of Switched Lightpaths for eScience Applications is a project backed by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and funded via HEFCE. It will enable, through the UKLight project, the UK research community to participate to the global initiative of an international experimental testbed to pilot new paradigms in optical networking.The two main tasks of this project follow.
Exploitation by e-Science applications
The application areas chosen are:
- HEP-High Energy Physics
- PP-Particle Physics Data transfer - experiments involved are ECDF, D0, BaBar, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, ALICE
- VLBI: Radio Astronomy Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Data transfer
- HPC: Computational steering and Visualisation using High Performance Computing facilities within the RealityGrid project
- Integrative Biology
- Other capabilities
Capability development
The capability development activity includes the technical preparations necessary to put the new UKLight infrastructure into service, for each application, high performance protocol R&D and resource allocation as well as reservation mechanisms.
