- A challenge: How to support the growth and sustainability of community
  networks by providing the means to conduct experimentally driven research.

** The CONFINE project (Community Networks Testbed for the Future Internet)
- Takes on the previous challenge.
- Project supported by the European Community Framework Programme 7 within the
  Future Internet Research and Experimentation Initiative (FIRE).
- Partners (list with logos): Fundació guifi.net, Funkfeuer, Athens Wireless
  Metropolitan Network (community networks); Universitat Politècnica de
  Catalunya, Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing
  and Ergonomics, Interdisciplinary Institute for Broadband Technology
  (research centres); the OPLAN Foundation, Pangea (NGOs).
- Objectives: Provide a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for
  researchers to experiment on real community networks.

** Testbeds
- Environments built with real hardware for realistic experimental research on
  network technologies (instead of simulations).
- Wireless: Berlin RoofNet, MIT Roofnet (outdoor); IBBT's w-iLab.t, CERTH's
  NITOS, WINLAB's ORBIT (indoor).  Limited local scale, controlled
  environment, no resource sharing between experiments.
- Internet: PlanetLab, planet-scale testbed with resource sharing on nodes.
  Main inspiration for Community-Lab.

** Community-Lab: a testbed for community networks
- The testbed developed by CONFINE.
- Integrates and extends three Community Networks: guifi.net, FunkFeuer, AWMN.
# Node maps here for CNs with captures from node DBs.
