- Objective: Provide a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for
researchers to experiment on real community networks. *##*
** Testbed?
- Environment built with real hardware for realistic experimental research on
network technologies. *##*
# Axel: Insert headline "Examples of existing testbeds".
- Some wireless testbeds, both indoor and outdoor.
- Problems: their limited local scale, their unrealistic controlled
environment, experiments can't share resources simultaneously.
- Internet: PlanetLab, planet-scale testbed with resource sharing on nodes.
Main inspiration for Community-Lab. *##*
** Community-Lab: a testbed for community networks
- Community-Lab is the testbed developed by CONFINE.
- Integrates and extends the participating community networks.
- Using the FEDERICA research backbone for interconnection. *##*
- All Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so
people can use it to setup their own CONFINE testbed.
# Axel: Headline: for what?
* Requirements and challenges
A testbed has requirements that are challenged by the unique characteristics
of CNs. For instance, how to *##*
** Simple management vs. Distributed node ownership
- manage devices belonging to diverse owners? *##*
