Some changes suggested by Axel Neumann.

- Rewording of intro to challenges slide (also reversed title). - Indicate interesting features of OpenWrt. - Mention root access to containers. - LXC is used to manage containers. - Change title of experiments slide. - Indicate minimum layer available to experiments. - Mention IEEE P2P'12 demos. - Indicate that DLEP and API experiments don't require slices. - Also, API experiments will soon be supported, but not yet. check-in: a413d4ac9a user: ivan tags: trunk

  - Network and node managed by CN members.
  - Node admins must adhere to testbed terms and conditions.
  - This decouples testbed management from infrastructure ownership and mgmt.
- Testbed management traffic uses a tinc mesh VPN:
  - Avoids problems with firewalls and private networks in nodes.
  - IPv6 is used to avoid address scarcity and incompatibility between CNs.
  - Link instability is tolerated by using short-lived mgmt connections.
- Gateways allow a testbed to span multiple CNs.
  - Connecting the mgmt net over external means (e.g. FEDERICA, the Internet).
  - Gateways can make the management network available to the Internet.

- A researcher runs the experiments of a slice in slivers each running in a
  different node.

** Slices, slivers and nodes
# Diagram: Slices and slivers, two or three nodes with a few slivers on them,
# each with a color identifying it with a slice.)
- These concepts are inspired in PlanetLab.
