Overlay network assignment in PlanetLab with NetFinder
نویسندگان
چکیده
PlanetLab has been widely used in the networking community to test and deploy user-defined overlays. Serving as a meta testbed to support multiple overlay networks, PlanetLab has significantly lowered the barriers to build new overlays. However, PlanetLab users always face the problem of selecting a set of nodes and interconnecting them to form the desired overlay network. Unfortunately, such a task is usually carried out manually by individual users and sometimes in an ad-hoc manner. In this paper, we develop NetFinder, an automatic overlay network configuration tool to efficiently allocate PlanetLab resources to individual overlays. NetFinder continuously monitors the resource utilization of PlanetLab and accepts a user-defined overlay topology as input and selects the set of PlanetLab nodes and their interconnection for the user overlay. Experimental results indicate that overlay networks constructed by NetFinder have more stable and significantly higher bandwidth than alternative schemes and near optimal available CPU.

Operating System Support for Planetary-Scale Network Services
PlanetLab is a geographically distributed overlay network designed to support the evaluation and deployment of planetary-scale network services. Two high-level goals shape its design. First, to enable a large research community to share the infrastructure, PlanetLab provides distributed virtualization, whereby each service runs in an isolated slice of PlanetLab’s global resources. Second, to su...

متن کاملExperimental Study on Locality-aware Application Layer Multicast
This paper proposes Canicula, a locality-aware overlay multicast system. Its overlay network is constructed by node clustering based on network coordinate. According to the experimental results of both RDP and packets loss rate on PlanetLab, it shows that the performance of locality-aware overlay multicast is better than the other prevailing overlay multicast.

In research of overlay networks, simulator takes a very important role. However, popular simulators, such as ns and PlanetLab can’t meet the scale and performance requirement of overlay research. Although it is necessary for overlay researchers to observe activities of million nodes, current simulators can not give such simulation result. To improve the overlay network research efficiency, we d...
متن کاملAutomated Deployment and Customization of Routing Overlays on Planetlab
PlanetLab testbed is widely used to evaluate protocols and applications under realistic Internet conditions, but this realism comes at the cost of uncontrolled topology and traffic behavior. The use of overlay networks on PlanetLab can solve this problem by giving more control to the experimenter. However, manually creating such overlays is far from simple, and existing solutions are either not...
