Using Programmable Network Management Techniques to Establish Experimental Networking Testbeds
نویسندگان
چکیده
The way in which research groups evaluate router software (QoS and routing components, for example) seems to be restricted to methodologies using mathematical modelling and simulation techniques. We believe that an experimental methodology is rarely used as the deployment of custom routing software to a testbed comprising multiple routers is a non-trivial task that is beyond the scope of most network research projects. This project intends to make experimental methodologies more accessible to researchers by using programmable networking techniques and by building a management system for a network testbeds.

Justifying the use of a bespoke management system for experimental research on programmable testbeds
It is the belief of our research group that the use of a bespoke management system with programmable routers makes experimental evaluation of router software more accessible to network researchers. This paper justifies that there is a need for such a system, and that the results that can be obtained using it are valid. Additionally, case studies are presented that will allow us to show experime...
متن کاملDesign and implementation of an efficient and programmable future internet testbed in Taiwan
Internet has played an important part in the success of information technologies. With the growing and changing demands, there are many limitations faced by current Internet. A number of network testbeds are created for solving a set of specific problems in Internet. Traditionally, these testbeds are lacking of large scale network and flexibility. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implem...

Global network innovation requires large-scale distributed test facilities that are similar to the typically multidomain real-world environments in order to ensure the agile adaptation of new concepts, architectures, technologies and protocols from prototyping through testing into production. Virtualization, in general, allows network researchers to create insulated autonomous slices of product...
متن کاملVirtualized Reconfigurable Hardware Resources in the SAVI Testbed
Reconfigurable hardware can allow acceleration of compute intensive tasks, provide line-rate packet processing capabilities, and in short, expand the range of experiments and applications that can be run on a testbed. Few large-scale networking testbeds have made any concerted effort towards the inclusion of virtualized reconfigurable devices, such as FPGAs, into their systems as allocatable re...
متن کاملMobile Experiments Made Easy with OMF/Orbit∗
Experimental facilites (or testbeds) are instrumental in the development and evaluation of new Internet technologies. Evaluations based on simulation and emulation do provide valuable, yet inexpensive insight into the performance of new networking technologies at large scales. However, simulators and emulators inherently make simplifying model assumptions. Thus, convincing the networking indust...
