the fairness between their users, and their diversity but also
their instability.
- It's important to note that all Community-Lab's software and documentation
is “free as in freedom” so you can use them to setup your own CONFINE
testbed. *##*
** Community-Lab as community infrastructure
- Besides supporting experimentation, CONFINE helps physically extend CNs *##*
not only with new Community-Lab nodes, but also with new links…
- … and even services hosted in nodes like web servers, video broadcast
stations, etc. to be used by the community. *##*
- In a more sophisticated approach, nodes can also be used to implement cloud
infrastructure provided and managed by the community for the community.
This is the mission of the Clommunity project. *##*
* Architecture and technologies
** Testbed architecture
- How does the Community-Lab testbed work?
- It consists of a set of nodes (managed by CN members) that follow the
configuration in a set of servers (managed by testbed operators).
- All components in the testbed become reachable via a dedicated management
network implemented as an IPv6 overlay.
- Then researchers define experiments (the so called slices) in a server.
- And nodes use a REST API to get those definitions from servers and run
several of them simultaneously as VMs (the so called slivers).
