Work Package 1（和我工作无关，目前无任何内容）
--------------
WP1 (Management): This activity is vertical across the technical work packages. Its overall objectives are to ensure that the project reaches its goals, that the world at large is informed of its progress, and that suitable training is organised in using the project results. Four tasks are involved: Project Management, Administrative and Financial Coordination, Technical Management and Risk Management.
管理：...
Work Package 2（和我工作无关）
--------------
WP2 (Business and legal Ecosystem): This workpackage has the following objectives: a) Assessment of the legal situation for all stakeholders of P2P-Next, especially with regard to the New TV Directive of the European Commission and the pending changes on IPR regarding online content and user generated content b) Research and development of sustainable business models for the overall P2PNext system and various actors and users of the P2P--Next system, ranging from publishers to prosumers c) Research and specification of a set of DRM and payment issues, incl. billing, micropayment, subscription, pay view, pay per view, and inclusion of third party offerings into P2P-Next d) Research and development of a set of advertising and other free view models and related tools, and inclusion of third party offerings into P2P-Next e) Development of a selected set of applications and services to be applied within the P2P-Next system up to the level of commercial prototypes (linking own developments with third party developments) f) Development of requirements necessary for different service types in the field of linear as well as non-linear services. These requirements will be investigated for the respective underlying business models for several possible envisaged services.
商业和法律生态系统：
a) P2P-NEXT相关利益相关者法律环境评估
b) P2P-NEXT系统的可持续商业模型的研究和开发问题，以及系统的用户角色问题
c) DRM(数字版权管理)和付费问题的研究和标准制定
d) 广告方面和其他相关免费观看工具的调研和开发
e) 用于商业级别的P2P-NEXT系统原型的指定应用和服务的开发
f) 针对不同服务类型的需求开发
Work Package 3（相关度不大）
--------------
WP3 (User Requirements and Architecture): According to a user-centric design paradigm the user requirements will be based on the needs of the user. Within WP2 the focus is towards the stakeholders. Within WP3 the user requirements will be the key focus, ensuring that we are putting the user first. A pilot group of users from the participating countries will be established.
关注用户需求和架构：根据以用户为中心的设计模型，用户的需求将作为最基本的出发点。WP2关注stakeholders，但WP3会将普通用户需求放在首位。
Work Package 4（相关度比较高）
--------------
WP4 (Peer-to-Peer and IPvNext Networking Fabric): Work package 4 comprises the technical core of P2P-Next. WP4 will develop the next generation of P2P technology which will enable the field to move from simple “file sharing” with keyword search towards “content sharing”, by seamlessly merging content, communities, communication, and commerce (Next-Share).Objective: provide the networking fabric for driving over 50% of future Internet traffic.
关注P2P以及下一代IP网络构造：WP4构成了P2P-NEXT的技术核心，通过无缝地将内容、社区、通信和商业（如Next-Share）进行融合的方式，开发下一代P2P技术，以使从基于关键字搜索的简单文件共享向基于内容共享的技术迈进。目标：提供一种网络架构能够减轻将来的50%的网路负载。
Work Package 5（相关度不大，适当关注）
--------------
WP5 (User Generated/Professional Content and Metadata): This work package covers various aspects of content; creation of reference content, challenges of managing content, finding content, and enabling interactivity. This WP will develop reference content to be ingested into the P2P-system. It focuses on editorial as well as promotional content, and required media planning support.
用户产生的内容或专业方式产生的内容：该WP覆盖了reference content的创建，内容管理问题，内容查找问题，交互性问题。该WP将开发reference content以集成到P2P系统中。
Work Package 6（工作重点）
--------------
WP6 (PC Integration and Prototypes): This WP will develop a PC platform consisting of standard PC hardware, software libraries and applications that enable users to exploit Peer-to-Peer technology for multimedia streaming and downloading.
PC上的集成和原型：该WP将开发一个完整的能够让用户利用P2P技术进行多媒体流式传输下载的PC平台，其包括标准的PC硬件、软件库以及相关应用。
Work Package 7（相关度相对较低，其目前没有相应内容）
--------------
WP7 (CE Integration and Prototypes): This WP will develop a CE (Consumer Electronics) platform consisting of hardware, embedded software stack and applications that enables consumers to enjoy the broad range of content consumption, social interactivity and content contribution opportunities made available by the introduction of the P2P-next medium; whether or not they have a PC in their home. The audience for P2P-next content and services may thus be enlarged dramatically and a broader demographic may be catered for.
CE(消费电子)集成和原型：...
Work Package 8（本应重点关注，但是没有内容）
--------------
WP8 (Living Lab Trials): This WP will deploy a series of test-beds/trials across Europe in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the P2P-Next approach when applied to a variety of services, across a heterogeneous networking infrastructure targeting various user terminals/devices. These extensive field trials will help to provide concrete results relating to the implementation when deployed over a large infrastructure.

Work Package 9（无关）
--------------
WP9 (Dissemination and Exploitation): Work package 9 disseminates, at the national and international level, the main results to various parties and target groups such as content providers, broadcasters, telecom operators, home and mobile equipment vendors, universities and research organisations as well as project partners, users in particular. A special attention will be paid to reach SMEs in involvement and utilization of the results. Standardisarion is a key activity of the dissemination work for the project.
分发和利用：WP9主要负责将相关研究进展和结果向全世界相关人员和机构进行分发告知。
