Community-Lab introduction

  there (CD and RD).  All but low-level experiments are possible using direct
  interfaces.  In this way CONFINE helps extend the CN.
- CONFINE can also extend the CN by setting up a physically separated cloud of
  connected nodes at a site controlled by a partner (e.g. campus).  All kinds
  of experiments are possible using direct interfaces.  Users are warned about
  the experimental nature of the network.

* Recap

- Community networks are an emerging field to provide citizens with
  connectivity in a sustainable and distributed manner in which the owners of
  the networks are the users themselves.
- Research on this field is necessary to support CNs' growth while improving
  their operation and quality.
- Experimental tools are still lacking because of the peculiarities of CNs.
- The CONFINE project aims to fill this gap by deploying Community-Lab, a
  testbed for existing community networks.

* Participate!
We introduced you to Community-Lab, a new testbed being developed by the
CONFINE project to support research targeted to allow CNs to become a key part
of Internet infrastructure in the future.

Community networks and researchers: We look forward to your participation!
