# Community-Lab
- A testbed built on community networks
- Like PlanetLab:
- Global scale
- Experiments sharing resources
- Best effort
- Unbundled management
- Heavily customized for CNs:
- Some decentralization
- Fair to other users
(no low-level, disruptive experiments, no spying)
- Simple, tolerant to network failures
- Free software: build your own testbed!
